Do you know if Telemetrium folks have done any testing to see if ferrite beads will help suppress the RFI problems?

Thank you all for the information. About how much resin does a typical nosecone (say for a BT60) use?

I am curious if anyone here has tried casting nosecones from plastic resin. In looking through information on casting it would seem very doable. But there might be something I am missing like this...

That is a great looking rocket. Can you slip the tail cone on for display? I am thinking that it would be cool to have the cone in position in display, but not a big deal to remove for flight....

We should also keep in mind that the folks have no knowledge of who will be launching the rocket. Well, that isn't actually true, it can be counted on that someone will not out things together...

Actually it is a complete lie that your intellectual property would be lost be simply talking about it here. And if the cost of a patent seems high, try the cost of litigation (the only way to...

One note to switching to Quest igniters. Don't check continuity until you are ready to launch. It might not launch with three, but it will ignite a single one every time.

There is some warning in...

I would point out that Longhorn Council in the Fort Worth area help three or four Rocket Academy's complete with the kids launching. They didn't allow the kids to hook the rockets up, but I wouldn't...

I see multiple issues here. But first I put a separation between legality and morality. In my opinion you can be legal an unethical. And you can be ethical and illegal. I choose not to allow...

I personally don't really care. Nor do I believe that it will matter to my investments since I have not and would not buy Facebook.

But I believe his lack of respect did cost him and his...

That is a simple fix. Remove the eraser. Then there will be no erasing.

I think I would go down to the police station to "discuss" with a senior official about the conduct of his/her officers. I would demand that they apologize or face the media.

Short of an apology...

I would love some.

When speaking of the strength of a knot it helps to know the background. First, all knots weaken the cord in which they are tied. Ten also in fishing you ate dealing with a medium that seemingly...

Wow, talk about your security theater. Protect the country from the least likely for of terrorism. Too bad for the poor chaps who live under the plane that gets shot down.

Now the fun part would...

In my neighborhood placing one's garbage cans next to the garage is typical. But if it bothers you enough invite the guy over for a brew and offer to put up screening for your sake. He may even take...

I triple dog dare you.

I had no issues using Estes igniters with plugs in Quest B6-3s last trip launching.

In case the op ignores the advice to ignore me....

I went to their page and sent en email to the warranty address and included my proof of purchase and a pic of the failed motor in the rocket....

The thing about the pendulum is that it will seek "trim." aAnd in the case of the rocket during boost the majority of the g-force (or trim) is felt down the length of the rocket. If you have ever...

If the note indicates that you are being held to a higher standard being a corner lot, then keep it. Put it in a safe deposit box.

I can assure you that your covenants do not allow one lot to be...

I dont believe that "we" (the US) walled them up. I think that their egomaniacally leader did that. "We" are more than happy to take anyone who can get out and give them asylum.

Further, I don't...

Well today I received my replacement Arcas. (The original had an engine malfunction on its maiden launch.) Anyway I was thinking that the coupler could double up as an electronics bay. I am looking...

I would recommend you not worry about "What looks good" on college application. Believe me, there are many people out there filling their application with things that "look good." The admissions...

A friend put it well for me when he expressed that the sizable rockets are cool. At the same time, HPR is just not practical for me for several reasons:

Nearest launch for HPR is a very long...

I feel for you. As hard as it is, you may need to get someone appointed to be her guardian giving you the ability to have her check deposited where it is safe.

Don't know the details, but if she...

My juvenile mind thinks: but can you come up with a creative way to launch your cake? (Yes as in send some for a ride.) Maybe a cupcake loft?

The other one seems obvious to me - a tenth...

Some good and bad advice. But I would say open the door for the wife, but DO NOT drag her into the hobby.

As far as one weekend doing rockets one doing nails -- only if you actually like it. A far...

I am just venturing into mid power and would like to know more about re-loadable motors. I am wondering, after a flight can you quickly pull the motor and load it up for another flight that day? Or...
