I don't have any such experience, but I'd like to, so if you find any useful information elsewhere, plese let me know; you can PM me here at TRF.

(The project I have in mind is a steerable rocket...

Is anyone else not seeing the pictures in this thread? My TRF and browser settings are both set to show pictures; what am I doing wrong?

PM Sent for one.

It's a week later and no update; is te altimeter sold or pending? I'll send a PM just in case it's not.

I did see that there's a move, and I know that takes a lot of one's time, but just an acknowledgement of receiving a message would be good. It's not that I'll never shop from him (or his company)...

PM sent withdrawing previous off to buy. Apparently the OP has better things to do than respond to offers and inquiries on the things he alledgedly wants to sell.

PINGGG! Hello?!? Are you there? I've got $32.95 of my rocket budged in the "Comitted not spent" column that I'd like to either spend or move back to "Available."

Hello?!?!?

PM Sent for 9 of the clusters.

Why not 6" motors. The O8000 is one awesome pile of power.

PM sent for 10 of each.

Product received.

PM send for the plywood fins.

Yes, that's a good point; thanks.

It also establishes a filing date and therefore gives greater protection than the notebook alone in establishing that yours is the prior claim.

Thanks for the advice. Some of it is just what I plan to do, and some is not necessary for reasons I can't disclose at this time - not just protection of my IP, though that is (or I thought was)...

OK, that means no job and no house and yard work taking up my time, all the materials and tools I want, all the outside consulting help I need, and even paying stipends to support the friends I have...

Sometimes the "use" of a patent is to prevent another company inovating around a different one you also own; you patent the modified method first and use it as a shield, which counts as using it....

And by the way, one way to lose a patent is to do nothing with it, exactly because that deprives the public of its use, and thus defeats the purpose of granting patents in the first place. (The...

Read the statement in context. My vagueness, reminiscent of some old ad campaign, is not meant to sell anything.

Ablative fins with a small T at the root edge that slides into a durable T-slot on the airframe? The fins are disposable, but easily replaced.

Those fins sprung out, not in; they were on a tube launched flare. When I first thought of it, in my head I way overcomplicated it. I was thinking of using an accelerometer, Arduino, and servo motor...

As something you've seen done, or an original idea of yours? It's not what I'm persuing, though I thought of something similar while driving home yesterday - don't worry; I hereby release any and all...

Indeed they did. Because they were only trying to measure wind resistance, and the weight mostly affects acceleration, they didn't begin measurement until they had the car up to speed. The result was...

Fair enough, but the difference is that I'm not trying to sell anything. If and when I do, I'l be completely up front about what it is. (And it's not going to change or re-invent anything, just...

I may just have to try this. And (different one) vacuum forming golf ball dimples all up and down the body tube and nose cone.

Some, but not a lot yet. Emphasize "yet."

This is just the stuff I'm looking for. Lots of things that've been done, and none of them are like mine. This is giving me a good feeling that the harder...

Now that's something I didn't know. Thanks.

Okay, tell me something I don't know. Like maybe you know some odd-ball fin configurations I could compare with mine, even though I haven't told you mine yet.

Yes, it's a fishing expedition; no, it doesn't have to be a waste of time if folks take the question seriously; and where do you get off pretending to read my mind regarding my motives?

in order to ask a little about the state of the art in model rocketry
in order to protect rights which, it seems, probably didn't need that level of protection, but it's better to ere on the side of...

I think they get me closer to not wasting time going further if it should become obvious very quickly that there's no point (because it's already known.) Or I thought that, until this devolved into...
