Cool site Tony.
I was just wandering whom is belongs to?
Cool site Tony.
CJ in your build instructions it looked like you used 1515 buttons, is that right?
Also, the fins were pretty scratched up when they arrived, how can you get that nice finish back on them?
work?
Jim, I seem to recall it was the I224 Pro29-6GXL Classic load.
It has a bit more total impulse. Both motors would probably get close to the same altitude.

I've seen a few people using the Garmin trackers designed for hunting dogs for big rockets. Any chance that'll play out and become widespread? Essentially, a club can buy a receiver, then individuals buy the transmitters and just "train" the receiver to the individual devices.
They were 1010.....not 15's
Are you sure that's not glue residue from the 2 sided tape, instead of scratches? WD-40 will take that off in a jiffy!
No there was oodles of glue residue to take off, I used acetone and it just wiped right off.

And...even at the risk of a little drag (which is precisely what we're trying to reduce!!!) I gotta slap on some Mark Hayes vinyl! NEVER...Fly Naked! :wink:
That is a courageous combo, especially for a first flight. One problem though... How are you going to top this for the next flight ?The first flight I did with my Blackhawk 29 was an I243 with the boat tail.

I think I can shave off an inch or so of length. Also, I wasn't quite at the optimal weight for the I243, so I think the combination of the two should get me a little bit higher. I also have a shockwave nosecone to try out. The other option is just going as high as possible and seeing how fast I can get it to goThat is a courageous combo, especially for a first flight.

jms.......... clear coat will bring back the gloss. A few light coats, then buff with a 3M Scotch brite pad [or similar] Repeat till ya get that high gloss shine after filling and polishing the scratches.
Some wet sand with 4-600 paper. I just prefer the ease of the pads, fit in the contours better & can wet sand with them also.
Will do. So did you end up making this DD or just stock?
This was my first time using the Proline epoxy, so getting the fillets just right was a bit of a challenge for me, it's messy stuff!
I really like the H399 White Thunder. Anyone try that in a BH29?Would be nice on an H410!

Jeff,I also meant to ask you...regarding retaining the CTI case with the cap screws like you forwarded ( post #40 ), would placing those screws directly behind the fins cause any undue issues like weakening the case? By placing them aft, I could have the option of different case lengths to fly...
