Video of the second flight. This is the M520 with its 14 second burn.

I went with the mad cow arcas. =D

Ok, thought I would provide an update. I took Red Dragon to Phoenix Missile Works the end of March and flew her twice. The first flight on a CTI L610 was picture perfect. About 6300' and recovery...

Spider stockings + rocket + paint + Don = "Arachnophobia One"

What is "Frog Tape"?

I think this has less to do with the hobby and more to do with your lack of restraint, Johnnie. :grin:

I think he lives in Atlanta but has been coming to the PMW launches lately. He will probably be there next weekend. You should come too and see my LVL 3 flight. =)

Have you checked with Sean Fallon? I know he used to fly hybrids and may have some equipment left...

Yes. Yes you will.

Amen Brother Layne! preach On!

And BOOM! Mark comes through with PERFECT graphics.

An additional trick for strengthening fin attachment on a min diameter rocket is to make little epoxy rivets. Drill a series of small holes in the body tube where the root chord of each fin will...

sSo when I build in a factor of 10 by choosing a 500 lb component for a 50 lb rocket, I am actually building in a factor of 100 for that component/type of load? I guess that should do it!

Hard to believe she was the same little girl in "The Labyrinth". She definitely growd up.

"you remind me of the babe..."

I have looked into the costume to wear to Dragon*Con, bit it is several thousand to get the good one with the leather jacket, crop pants etc. but you can buy one on the Internet! ( yes I am that...

O I caught "The Rocketeer" on SyFy yesterday afternoon. My son was home from school with strep and we curled up on the couch and watched it together. I forgot what cheesy goodness that movie was. ...

I am surprised that no one has mentioned Tim's rewards programs. They are what keeps me going back. Originally as a new BAR, Tim's site was invaluable in my education process in HPR. Learning...

For Vinyl I use Mark at stikershock23.com, who is a denizen of the forums. Seems there is also someone who does waterslide, but I can't recall, I am sure someone will chime in.

Question: thinking of putting some screws through the airframe into the centering rings to add a little support against the shear between the ring and the airframe. Looking at a counter sunk #6 x...

Very nice. Where did you get the "Coke machine" locks/keys?

Working with Mark at Stickershock23.com to get the graphics and lettering.

This is the design.

My opinion is that if you have to have a debate on how to best make an igniter work, there may be a problem. Seriously, where is the debate on Quest, Apogee, etc. There isn't one. Why? Because...

I could use a switch (I like the 110/220 rotary selectors) mounted directly into the coupler. Then cut a semi circle out of each airframe section. Great idea!

To mount the MMT I scored inside the glass tube with a box cutter so the epoxy would have a place to grab. I measured the place where the upper would rest so I could score inside there as well. I...

Building up the fin can. I used a paper pattern that goes from tip to tip of the fins. I then cut out pieces of 7.5 oz e-glass that size. I used my slow thin epoxy and laid up 3 layers on each...

I decided to go with a traditional motor mount for this as I can't see every flying anything in it but 98mm. It is not long enough to fly a 75mm M and I am not brave enough for a minimum diameter 6"...

Here are shots of the completed electronics bay. I decided to mount the rails to the sled, instead of inside the coupler. The switches are mounted to the coupler and have the computer power molex...

So now onto the booster. I took a piece of foam board and made a fin jig to tack the fins on square with. Then tacked on the fins one at a time with 5 min epoxy. Once they were all on I LIBERALLY...

OK have a bunch to catch up on here. First a shot of us making the coupler on the previously fashioned mandrel.

Here is a shot of peeling the dacron off of one of the big tubes. Leaves...

This occurred to me last weekend. I could just take about an inch off of one of the airframe sections for a switch ring and build the guts and the bulkheads for the bay in the included coupler. Duh.
