Most of the time I just use wood screws that screw right onto the airframe. For minimum diameter I use machine screws and epoxy them in. An important thing to remember is to leave the buttons loose...

You could purchase your "plumbing" separately from Pratt or build your own using Aerocon solenoids
Andrew,
I don't know if it has been mentioned here but Jack Garibaldi with Whats up Hobbies loans cases to customers who purchase motors from him. He serves Black Rock launches which is where you...
Black Dog Rocketry makes very nice GSE. I highly recommend it. I don't know if Ron still sells it but I thought the GSE 1 looked very nice.

I have flown the Polecat 7.5 inch V2 rocket with the M1491 and M711. I have also have made a couple of custom rockets for it. The slower nozzle is fun but you are limited on takeoff weight...
I recommend the 3200cc tank with 12"combustion chamber and medium nozzle.
I am going to be making a 3 inch aluminum fin can. It will have welded fins and a snap ring motor retainer. I decided to go with the trapazoid Nike Smoke style fins because they do better at mach...
I think that it should be mentioned here that What's Up Hobbies will loan you a case for the motor your purchase. So even if you choose the best cert deal you can always try the other brand to see...
I would look at what the tensile strength is of the 9/16 kevlar. Stronger is better. Whatever you use I suggest making it very long; over 15 feet. Longer is better. Lastly you should do ground...
I am a pipe welder. I weld stick, tig and mig. At home I have a Miller Dynasty 200DX. The nice thing about the Dynasty is that it is an AC/DC machine. It also has pulse settings so you can weld...

Yes you can pitch a tent which is what I will do. Just be sure to have an air mattress or cot because sometimes the ground is uneven. Visit our website http://www.tripolicentralcalifornia.com/ We...
Any self respecting thirsty barbarian would quench his thirst Saturday night at the Dairy Aire launch at TCC where we provide the free beer. Come Saturday morning and enjoy a day of high power...
Would you take $350 plus $20 shipping? My email is karlbaum@comcast.net

You don't have to get rid of the wire mesh baffle but I did because it tends to clog after a while. I use a nomex cloth style chute protector. To use other longer motor cases you want to get rid of...
I would also be interested in an Aerotech or Rouse Tech 75/7680 motor case.
I am wanting to buy an AMW 75-7600 motor case with closures or a CTI PRO75 6 grain motor case with closures.

Woah. TCC is plenty friendly. I have known these guys for years and I must say that I am proud to count them as my friends. There is not an experienced flyer out there who wouldn't hesitate to help...
As I understand it the plastic rivets failed at ejection causing separation. I use metal screws and have not had this problem. Another thing you might want to look at is how tight your separation...
What difference is it that different motors have different thread sizes? My favorite forward closure design is Kosdon TRM motors. In 38mm and 54mm motors the forward closure has 1/4 inch female...
Well 75 and 76 are not the same and yes that is crazy. 76mm is 3 inches and will fit snugly in "75mm" motor tubes. 75mm is the standard mil spec O.D. for motors.
If you are looking at cost for your primary drive then hybrids are less expensive in the larger motor sizes but special ground support is needed. Also you won't find hybrid motors as fast as solid...
What about looking for interest on the Yahoo hybrid group?
We don't gain or loose hours. There is always 24 hours in a day.
I'd be interested in a 98mm N motor. It doesn't have to be certified.
