Until about nine months ago I lived about 15 or 20 miles from there. This year I get to go to NYPower, so it's not all bad.Anyone else getting excited?
Check out the Team ShotokuTech rockets for the National Sport Launch 2019. I surprised myself by unleashing the motivation to finish a couple of projects that had been stalled for a year and even more.

Instead of going through all that trouble, why not just pop in a Quest 18mm C or D Q-Jet? Problem solved, no modifications needed.Today I was reworking my 1/200 scale Estes Saturn V. The idiots at Estes say it flies on a "C" engine of theirs, NOPE. It goes up about 80 feet ! I am modifying it to accept Estes "D" engines. I suggest everyone that has this rocket do this if you want any kind of decent flight. The model is sold already overweight for the recommended engine, and the flight is abysmal. I have attached several photo's of how easy it is to do, and I am going to add a couple of squares of clay to the front section to offset the weight of the bigger engine.

On the other hand, if you're going to put in the 24 mm motor mount, you might want to add the extra inch to take the Estes E motors.Instead of going through all that trouble, why not just pop in a Quest 18mm C or D Q-Jet? Problem solved, no modifications needed.
(BTW I would beg to differ with you about the people at Estes being "idiots").
Or AT SU or RMS 18mm D?Instead of going through all that trouble, why not just pop in a Quest 18mm C or D Q-Jet? Problem solved, no modifications needed.
