Personally I don't use any wadding at all. I use a piece of nomex fabric attached to the shock cord to wrap the chute completely. On ejection, the chute is pulled out by the nose cone and it pulls the...

I mostly use PPG paints and clear coat. Only reason is the local paint seller mostly sells that brand... along with House of Color. VERY Expensive stuff. Warren

I knew there was a reason I didn't go down there to fly... my rockets historically have a strange magnetism that attracts them to places where they cannot be recovered... trees, power lines, bodies of...

They're a nice unit and I like the add-on GPS module. My biggest issue with it is price, but then again, I'm a cheapskate. Warren

With that kind of acceleration, I'm surprised the unit survived. The big electrolytic capacitor on Perfectflight and also on Missileworks altimeters (the only brands I own) are poorly supported agains...

Robert Dehate's altimeters are considered commercial products. We're only saying home-made altimeters that haven't been calibrated in a vacuum chamber like Missileworks, Perfectflight, Pico, etc... ar...

My GPS repeatedly reports 5430' at the Pawneee North Site. Warren

You can bet I won't miss the December launch this year... Warren

These threads were getting a bit long in the tooth. Some issues came up to discussion so I thought I'd consolidate it all and repost the SSS/SSSS rules: RULES FOR SINGLE SHOT SWEEPSTAKES and SUPER SIN...

Excellent idea. I do believe at one time John Wilke told me the lot numbers he had problems with. John? Warren

The nice thing is, if you fly it so as to bring it down like a rock - a streamer, a small chute with a big spill hole, etc., it WILL turn up. Someone will stumble across it - it might be the same day,...

I paid for 7 and the upgrade to 8. I use 7 for most of my stuff because 8 seems to be over optimistic all around on sims. 7 seems to be right on vis a vis optimal weight simulation, 8 - because of the...

Aerotech has several bad batches of G80's early this year. John Wilke, a club member who was helping out the TARC team had multiple G80 CATOs from a batch in January. Kids were bummed out to say the l...

I'm not too worried about that happening... I plan on flying in December if I have to wait... but I will fly. Warren

By the way, I would add that if all remaining launches are cancelled this year due to fire ban, that the monies paid for the SSS and SSSS roll forward into the 2007. Just in case... Warren
