Always hated that smell.
I know, I know ... I'm weird.

Pace yourself, brother, pace yourself.
Your basic design appears to be sound. The one thing about using perforated plates is that you have to insure that the holes in both plates are offset from each other so that particles will not be...
Good deal! There is plenty of sparsely-populated, undeveloped land in my area. It is all heavily forested, though, and by law it will always remain so. Wonderful for hiking, camping and observing...

Well, OK, maybe the little guy above is overdoing it. But this post did make me chuckle out loud.
No offense intended toward any of my many good friends (or anyone else)...
Because propelling a bike through 12"-24" high hay for any distance would be more strenuous than simply walking through it, plus there is the problem of how to transport the rocket back when you need...
Yes, sir! Now we're talking! Do any astrophotography/astroimaging?
+1. Unbelievably cool.
Wasn't that guitar last seen on an episode of The Jetsons? ;)
I wish that I could lose myself in more hobbies, because I do have many other interests, but rocketry seems to be the only one that's doing it for me right now. I haven't picked up my guitar in years...
Club launches exclusively. I don't have access to a large enough field to launch most of my MPRs solo. That is just one of the advantages of launching with a club: bigger, better fields. It goes...
Secret Santa 2012 Update:
Late Tuesday (Jan 8) afternoon the UPS man left a large mailer envelope inside my screen door. I was puzzled at first because I wasn't expecting any deliveries. I felt...
My wife actually liked it when I was road racing. She encouraged it, drove support vehicles and otherwise participated whenever she could. She eventually grew concerned about the constant travel and...
Regarding launch rod size, the choice is dependent upon the overall mass of the rocket at launch and the peak thrust of the motor. Most of my MPRs are less than 2" in diameter and weigh well under 1...
I do most of my MPR launching at club launches because they are held in fields with the dimensions that I need to recover those rockets. I do have a couple of homemade launch pads though. Pad #1 is...
Nope, not any..mo...re..er... :rolleyes:
Thank you, Whodunit!!
Anchor hitch (designed for permanently tying rope to an eye and to not be untied), followed by two (or three) half hitches, and then cover the knot with a short length of heat shrink tube. Kevlar...
Rocketcrab and Bernard: what I said before was meant as a compliment; I was commending your mutual efficiency. Well-defined question, short, to-the-point answer. Boom, our (your) work here is done.
One time earlier this year I was having a devil of a time trying to remember where I left my cell phone. I was turning the house upside down, checking the pockets of my jackets, even the ones that I...
At least it was on the front of your sweatshirt, and not on the back of your jeans! ;)
Shortest. Thread. Ever. :D
If your recipient likes what you gave him or her, then your job is done. It is the "secret giving" part that makes Secret Santa so much fun. I spend a great deal of time fretting over whether my...
E: For my clone, how am I going to fabricate a convincing fake for that part that no one makes anymore?
Creating a scale version of a historic rocket (or a current one, or a fantasy rocket or...
My understanding of the gift-buying guidelines are to go for something or things that total in the US$20-$35 range. Secret Santa gift exchanges traditionally aren't supposed to involve extravagant...
Kinda late for that advice...

Well, I received this from my Aunt Clara......
