Paging Mark Hayes...Mark Hayes to the front please...

Stickershock will know right off I'd suspect.

In the mean time, might look at http://www.1001freefonts.com/

MAJOR....++ on that!!!

Being able to run it on Linux (like I do Open Rocket) would be the proverbial icing on the cake!

Hey Dave!

Like Tony, I'd be interested in any EX stuff ya might have....

It'd be a Darkstar (3" or Lite) followed closely by a THOR.

This one should be REALLY close...measured and weighed from my kit.

So, the Nat'l "Do Not Call" list worked pretty well for getting rid of solicitors...what does one do to alleviate the deluge of junk mail delivered by the postal service from day to day? Obviously...

I concur. while heat probably plays a factor, I don't think it's the major contributor. Keeping everything properly sized (length, fit, etc) is probably more important. Proper alignment, attachment,...

Which special edition are these?

Come on, Kev....while you haven't actually BUILT one, I'd wager you've been present for more discussions and personally witnessed as many of these types of attempts as anyone out there.

I've only...

So...bearing in mind that I am L2, not L3....

Details that pop into my head that should be paramount to an attempt like this:

Be it a 'glass wound NC or a Shockwave NC, very critical inspection...

In that scenario, the dynamics aren't the same. This would serve to prove that either the NC can be crushed or not by the force of the motor. In the flight scenario, though there are significant...

So, this one is gettin' pretty close!

My final (hopefully) dilemma is "what to do about motor retention"? Looking at the AeroPack min diameter product, but it pretty much limits you to...

Nice site, John! Bookmarked :wink:

...or AIRFest the following month!
:cheers:

Good plan, RJ! I believe I'll go that route. Here's to three motors lighting simultaneously :cheers:

I'd love to, but with the wind in question...YOU'RE chasin' it :lol:

So, ready to fly with the exception of the nose vinyl. Poor Mark...even HE can't help the artistically challenged of us. I tried multiple times to get the vinyl wrapped around the NC (cool snake eyes...

Took a break from bigger stuff to put together my NewWay Vigilangle kit....pic below is from advertisement on FleaBay, not mine (yet).

Really well thought out kit! And as I always loved...

Actually, the drive was to fly bigger and bigger motors initially. Then, the EX bug bit...requiring a L2 to actually fly them at a Tripoli event.

Probably start thinking about L3 this winter...do...

Sounds like the CG variable may be overridden under "stage"....just un-check it.

I wonder if this'd be a good place for a contributor site for Open Rocket design files....there was a discussion about such a thing not long ago.

Sorry I didn't make it to the event Kevin. I have a transmitter of the type the Argonia guys use ( L.L. Electronics ) that we could've shoved in the NC. I haven't used it yet...trying to finish up a...

Wondered what you had planned for those :grin:

Shame the club launch was cancelled today, but early forecasts make next Sunday look nearly ideal!

It's like the scene in Apollo 13 when everyone was waiting for word after the capsule re-entered the atmosphere!

Or just order an adaptor with it: http://www.madcowrocketry.com/product_p/a3854.htm

I think this assumes that you also use an Aeropack motor retainer:...

This one shows 38mm with 54mm optional: http://www.madcowrocketry.com/Little_John_Rocket_p/k-142.htm

WAIT ONE SECOND....why am I only now finding out about this Peanut Butter and Company joint?!? Oh yeah,I live in Arkansas...
Used to love flavored peanut butter from a company called Koogle(sp)?...

Totally understand :wink:

So, are you planning on using AeroTech, Cesaroni, Loki....

Pretty easy to determine a good "minimum H" configuration that'll give plenty of crowd appeal, yet not end...

And if ya want a simple kit to not LOOK simple, talk to Mr (Stickershock) Hayes about doing something a bit custom with the vinyl. It's an inexpensive way to REALLY put the "wow" factor in a build...

Nice looking bird, Jake! Glad my tutorial was of some use :wink:

One word of warning...once you START scratch building and designing with Rocksim or OR, you WILL overwhelm yourself with a...
