Ok, got around to get final weight and the CP location.
Final weight of the rocket (minus the ejection charges and dog barf) is 41 pounds empty. With the N1800 motor, the rocket will reach safe...
Ouch. Looks like the SUV caught on fire :(. What happened?
:hohoho:Once again, it’s time for Secret Santa - Christmas in July!:hohoho:

Yes, thats an upscale :). 3" to 4" made from LOC parts. Prob going do a sport rocketry article about it.
In the confusion of dealing with a misfire, the camera wasn't on the right setting, so the...

Interesting how off angle the flame is on the F30. I heard that can happen on moon burners, but that bad?
We got back from our vacation. I parked in front of the girls dorm unloading Rissa's stuff from the car. Let's see... bag yours, laptop mine, sleeping bag yours, pillow bag mine... N1800 reload.. ...
Rissa said that will scare the horses :D
She does now. Took her a second to figure it out and laughed real hard :)
She doesn't, and if she does she wouldn't care :). I may even show her some of the comments on here. She'll get a good laugh :D
Just normal Rust - olieum from Walmart.
Around $8. The one home depot had requires some grinding on the wrench to get it to fit in the groves, but I am going to trade this one for one that works as is :D
As some of you know, Rissa and I share a birthday. It has been jokenly suggested that we should get married on our birthday. As we thought about it I said I actually thought that was a good idea. So...
Did some shopping :p. Met up with Gloria from amwprox.com to pick up the propellant for the Rissa, plus got a couple additional items. I also stopped by Home Depot. Got a sink wrench to use with...
Carl Tulanko's Upscale Tres first stage used three CTI 38 3 grain cases. I212's were motors of choice. I seen that thing fly several time :).
I don't think anyone ever produced a 24mm black powder F. Estes did produce the E15 back when the Maniac first came out. Now they have E9 and E12's. And they have recently certified 29mm E and F...
Go ahead :)
Yeah, car is still in the shop :(. I am going borrow one to go to my parents place. Only going be gone for a week, was going take of work till the 23rd, but boss wants me to work on that proceeding...
LOL. Yes she did :). And what's cool is since I will be launching it sometime during the summer, she'll come with me to the launch to watch it fly :).
I got the most beautiful GF in the world :D

I was a TRA member years ago, but when NAR and TRA changed insurance and had to raise their prices, I never renewed my TRA membership. So the question I have is if I rejoin TRA, would I be a new...
Robert DeHate gave me a call and suggested I go to this June launch. He says there is no reason why I can't launch at this launch because I am a NAR member which my insurance will cover me as long as...
Oh my bad. I was thinking it was a 75mm RMS load. That's what I get for not checking the motor specs before I comment. My apologies.
Its quite possible that the tracking smoke blistered the case....
The blisters are caused by high pressure, high temp gas leaking around the seal ring during thrusting phase. This is a common problem with the RMS system, and is the reason why a lot of RMS hardware...
The Rissa is now Finished :D. Just in time for Red Glare. To bad my trip there had to be canceled. :(.
