Oh, and in case anyone was wondering what happened to my majorly ugly Loc Onyx that this rocket is pictured next to. Here's a quick update.

With all the warnings about the hazards of steel wool, I'm glad about posting the details of my design for review. I replaced the steel wool with a balsa wood baffle coated with epoxy to prevent...

Should be easy enough to implement the disk baffle method. I had originally built a baffle like that, but can't remember why I decided not to go with that. Thanks for the suggestions everyone, I...

Yes, very good point. I made sure to check that problem out. I'd heard one or two horror stories (just from a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy etc), but enough to make me double check the stuff I...

I present to you my latest project. It stands at 62 inches tall (picture is standing next to my Loc Onyx that is awaiting its paint job after my first botched attempt), weighs in at 48 ounces at the...

I'd like to enter my Estes Big Bertha modification for the August Rocket of the Month. This Big Bertha has been modified with a 24 millimeter motor mount to fly on up to F power (though I have only...

I have to say that is looking pretty good. Any idea on how much it weighs now? I assume you're going to go for a larger chute then the 14" included in the kit. Best of luck.

I couldn't agree more. I live within the city of Pittsburgh and the only possible site to launch is a small field where anything over 800 feet will get grabbed by the wind. Our college club tried...

Myself and the collegiate rocket club that I am vice president of would absolutely be interested in a "designer special" kind of package. A lot of people in the club (especially those with a few...

Aside from being another avenue to discuss rocketry, it can be used as a tool to coordinate events and also can be used to host photos and videos.

Before I say anything, let me just say that this is purely based on intuition. So here's my :2:. If you get any significant rotation, the rocket should act like a gyroscope, and would have a...

PM sent. It's amazing how fast the summer slips by. I'll post to the MPR section of the forum once I add the finishing touches. Thanks again for the help.

Thanks for the reply, I'll be sure to check out my local hobby shop (Michael's is the only one close to me, they don't have a Hobby Lobby on this side of the state).

As far as oberstability is...

Hi, I'm a long time reader, but I don't post often. I have been working on this custom built rocket for approximately a year, and would say that I'm 90% finished with the build including finishing...

Easily the most beautiful thing I've seen all day.
