Well, Bryce launched a 26-foot upscaled Mean Machine, 6" dia on an 8 or 10 foot rail, and it flew great.
If you mount the rail buttons securely into the centering rings, then an 8 foot rail should...

Anything beyond 220 can be a waste of time. I would be more concerned about which paint and primer you're using. A thick paint or primer, or even multiple coats of paint will make anything over 220...

Hey Bryce, what's up? Been off the radar for some time but I'm back. Anyway, don't you have a transmitter for your high altitude flights? You're welcome to borrow mine next time, it works great,...

Make prototype fins out of presentation foam board using a razor. Get a long string, tie one end around the CG of your rocket. Swing it around your your body and make sure it flies nose first. From...

I would name it "SOUR SCREAM'N"

Date: July 3, 2012...[break]...mission outlook= not looking good...[brreak]....suddenly wife declares she had not checked the mail...[break]...I run out to mailbox, turn key, open...[break]...Behold!...

.... Getting close to the wire...... no inbound bogies spotted as yet...... hoping it won't be a repeat of last year, when package was over a month late:(

In the words of Homer Simpson: "Stupid over-achievers!"

Nice, nice job..... mmmmmmmmaybe toooooooo good..........

OK, I think the 1/2" laminated both sides, and using the layer method you mentioned, is the way I'm gonna go. I'm passing on the 1/4" because then I'd have to cut out 8 fins instead of 4, and I'm not...

Who gave Bradycros sharp objects??!!!!

Hope this file works, just ignore everything but the fins... this is my first attempt at using rocsim

I didn't know they carried 9 ply, wow.... looks like I'm going there after work, thanks for the tip.
The largest motor I've flown is a K590, and that rocket had G-10 fins which worked great. Now I'm...

I'm looking for the best place to buy some 5/8 baltic birch plywood for the fins on my L3 HPR. At least 9 layers. Where do you guys buy from, and how much is it including SHIPPING?? Thanks!!!

Then I'm among friends here!!!

Scottydog: "YUP!!!!! But he does build some wicked COOL FACTOR ROCKETS!!!!!! "

That's a huge compliment from a guy who builds better stuff than me, thanks...

I never draw plans for my scratch builds, I just build as I go. I guess I could hewn out a rough sketch and post it here.

Thanks for the references Kevin, I'm gonna check those out. Thanks to all of you for your input, it's appreciated.

Gary & cwbullet: I'm not really interested in another build just to test my dual...

With some light editng, I thought your quote was pretty funny

Anyway, like they said, attach the lugs before you paint. It's not hard to use masking tape, or you could even cover the lugs with...

OK, I've more or less mastered the whacky designs of motor ejection rockets, and now I'm headed for my L3, which means I have to finally attempt my very first dual deploy, YUCK!!!!!

So, I already...

Way ahead of the game..... vendor is sending to my recipient as we speak, he he he

Yo mike,
I spent (literally) 2 hours wandering the desert looking for this rocket, and on the other side of the freeway:mad: It had a loaner motor casing, so I HAD to find it. I was bummed when I...

I have 1/3 can of the autum orange you're talking about. I used it for an upscald Vector Force for my son. Wonder if I could mail it toyou?? Let me know

LOL on the last one! There's something to be said for a guy retrieving his rocket on a scooter in the desert during a sandstorm!

Foreclosures take 12 or more months to finalize, during which time you needn't make a mortgage payment. After that, there are agencies who can extend your stay by several months for about 20% of your...

I never gave the Vagabond much consideration, probably due to the boring font and lame black lines above the fincan..... but now that I see your upscale version, tis is a very cool looking rocket! I...

Anyone who knows me knows that I cannot resist doing a parody video of this. My gears are turning.... Stay tuned-

Oh man Jim, this is a sweet build! Been watching and thought it was time to comment- can't wait to see the paint!!! :pop:

Come on already, don't you guys want an element of risk? Car keys lofting: Whoever can't retrieve their rocket walks home!

It actually flew! Sucker weighed 4 pounds, and went up on a 29mm CTI H255

What was her name?
