This did it, been needing some serious motivation lately, and this is gonna be my first FG build!

Looks like a fun build, ordering tomorrow!!

We made it through just fine, I could actually see the storm as it passed well to the south and north of us, it split around us. We got some really heavy rain, some small hail and some big wind for a...

Looks like a fun project, and nope...musta missed it! lol

That is so sweet!!

Good choice!

Besides running a great business, Mark is a great guy, has given me pointers all along the way and I will NOT fly without some of his vinyl on em!!
When I rebuilt my Executioner, I fowled up with...

78 Pontiac Trans Am...like the one Smokey and the Bandit but mine was the gold edition...

Traded that for an 85 TA, first brand new car!

Jim,

All of my ribbing aside, I think it is great you are being cautious with your design, as been stated, the best practice would be to use an away pad and discuss it with the RSO before you...

I would fly it as is, just consider the winds and amgle of attack. Too late to add another fin, the size of em should do the job, we are still learning either way!

Been a week now, and figured this was a good outlet for what went through this past week...

As most that know me know, I am a Paramedic and former firefighter, I work 15 minutes from West, and...

Congrats!!

I get the work you have done, both in school and life, I am facing something myself...

Been a Paramedic for 22 years, have done every job you can do with that, problem is, it is a...

I know we already covered this, but a J would give ya plenty of time to track it, and as long as you select the right delay (if your going with motor ejection), you shouldn't have a worry in the...

That looks sharp!!

Great job again!

Paul that looks fantastic and is an inspiration to clear off my work bench and get back to building!!

Thanks for sharing your work with us!!

David

EGADS!!

Yeah Jim that might take it a bit outta sight...be one heckuva flight though!

Excellent!!

I see yet another order in my future! :wink:

Looking GREAT!!!

IF you worried about stability with the I motors, throw in a J motor, depending on your choice it could make all the difference!

I just found this doing a google search on something else entirely...http://www.estesrockets.com/target

Has anyone seen this to be true or is this in the works for the future??

one thing to remember no matter how you pack it, is it needs to get out on ejection to catch the wind so it can do it's job. I had one a week or so ago, MPR, that I wasn't really paying attention...

I flown my Leviathan 7 or 8 times, from F to H engines, it is a great flyer!

All I did to mod it was the eyebolt for the shock cord, change the cord to a nylon one, and drill a hole in the NC to...

Lost my Estes Partizon on a G40 today in a wheat field, just need to get out there before it is harvested...musta not packed the chute right, no deployment...:(

My Leviathan on a CTI G80 Skidmark right after my L2 flight...

123987

Sounds like a windless weekend at my place!! LOL

Start the day off with some LPR then MPR, then after that it is pizza and beer time, then time to bust out some firearms to do some practice...

I have tried several, from rattle cans to airbrush paints, enamels to lacquers, if you want to clear coat it and for it to be as durable as possible, the Testor's is what I would use again. A little...

One thing I do, if I get a nasty, I not only run a quick scan with malwarebytes (hopefully it updates) and then reboot into safe mode and run a full system scan and that usually finds some embedded...

I have only been back into rocketry for a year and half now, HPR not even a year even, but found the people at the launches I have attended to be the best!!

In just a few visits I have made some...

Tightbond II wood glue works well too...

We had a lull in the high winds we had today, so me and my 7 year old ran out with our old Estes pad and launched her Big Bertha a couple of time before it got too dark, great flights, sorry forgot...

Oh my...I'm...ummm well...hello

Just saw that!!

Great pics! Thanks for sharing!!
