If anyone has one of the large ones, even if some of the smaller bits are missing, and you would like to see an Eagle soar (well, at least fly)..... I want it!! pm me and we will thing about prices....
No problem there mate.... i sent a pressie to an Aussie last year (hey Krusty!!... that was one of the last Art Applewhite 38mm's)
Currently trying to refine the rocksim file, I will try to import/export it to OpenRocket too so I can post that file. I am finding that either I go with a moderate amount of nose weight, and...
Supercar (Shades of Grey) check it out on youtube
Fireball XL5 (Black n white) was awesome, I remember the fight on Mars(?) with the rock worms!!
Stingray (Black n white / colour) was incredible,...
Excellent idea!!! Can I throw in an amendment that may save the pizza? Get the guy to deliver at the door, whilst you are hidden slightly out of sight. When the pizza goes into the house and the...
My above response was meant to sound a little 'tongue in cheek' as I would have ended up doing something like blowing it up, or having to retrieve it with a shovel. My HPR experience is nowhere near...
So, you want someone to take a look at it, build the prototype, test it with suitable HPR ranged motors, etc, and report back?? if so, I'll be ya Huckleberry!
Well it isn't really insane, and it has probably (high probability) been done before, but, I needs to throw my own take at this!!
Scratch build. Blue Tube 2.0 and various woods, epoxies,...
I liked the idea of "altimeter bay"!!
One comment though, I have seen quite a few 'build competitions' on other forums that specify that the entry has to have been completed within the last 3 or 6...
Scratch the Viper from the list, it has not had a successful flight. OK, it hasnt flown at all yet.
The Kraken (Got Squid?) had 2 flights, one of them staged!!
----------------
Good luck...
I think I got one from you??? If so, I can go dig around and see what is around.
Purchased my first Der Red Max..... then got home, looked at my 'build pile' and had an idea..... cackle!!
edit -
Kids already ruled that this is going to be THEIR rocket (the upscale one), and...
I recently picked up a pair of 36" PML 2.6 Phenolic. Quite nice stuff, not the brittle stuff I have seen before. So, what did I do?
3KFNC was born. Pointy end is the nose I stole from my...
going off your table, go for the delay that works out to give you the lowest speed. That means if the delay is 'off' slightly, there should only be a marginal change in deployment velocity.
This shows what the average person wants. Since we have to roll up dollars and stick the up the rear end of our toy before setting fire to them, less dollars burning is best for us. :)
I use the same trick that I do with my black powder firearms. Ballistol! Spray down the terminal blocks, etc, with Ballistol, leave overnight, wipe off. The stuff basically dissolves the BP...
Absolutely amazing... words fail me.

me me me me me.. pick me
I too have spent quite a lot of time on your site and found it an inspiration. The Crayons ... well, yours partly led me to getting my L1 on a Crayon. The Vipers ... started an addiction.
Sad to...
Flight report on 'Got Squid?' can be found here
Well crapola..... I had more than a slight problem with cameras this weekend!! I checked out the keychain cam from the first flight, it looks perfectly OK from the outside, but, the crash (hard...
Rich history, no state sales tax, 42,500′ AGL waiver at most of the HPR launches?? OREGON!
Thank you sir, you are the one to blame. More details and flight report can be found here.
I will also post a pic soon of there 3 finned Kraken I sent up this last weekend on a few test flight.

The first flight was on dual CTI H225-WT motors, with two used motors in the other mounts, with live matches in them. This was to test the Raven3's staging, and check if it fired both ignitors,...
I too am sorry that you didn't get to watch the launch. It WILL fly again! I feel a lot better now for some reason. I still cannot believe just how nervous this whole launch had made me. The wife...
