    What's up with Performance Rocketry?

    We should place bets on this and put it at over/under on Q3 2013. I'll take the over.

    What's up with Performance Rocketry?

    This is beyond ridiculous. It is 2012. It isn't hard to update a website to at least let us know what is going on or even that they are still alive. For cripes sake they still have their ancient kit pages available for viewing. It's like they don't even know how to delete a file.

    Is this a violation of the guy code?

    You are lucky he didn't fire you on the spot for taking him out to play with your little toys.

    Launching old engines?

    I recently used a bunch of ~18 year old Estes BP engines without issue. They were kept inside in a bedroom closet for their entire lifespan. I would guess that keeping them in a humid/non-temp controlled environment would reduce their viability, but I don't know. I was actually pretty shocked...

    Estes Pro Series II Igniters - 100% failure rate

    That's pretty conclusive to me that these igniters are simply not worth purchasing. I hope Estes gets this fixed soon because I'm hearing rumblings from the lay people that the new stuff doesn't work. At $24-30/engine (sans igniters) they are really running the risk of actually driving people...

    First Attempt at Mid Power

    Uhh what kind of sicko are you? When I get a colonoscopy I actually don't want that thing in as far as it will go. "Just the tip" is even too much.

    Estes Pro Series II Igniters - 100% failure rate

    I'm quite curious as to how you have concluded that I am not calm and composed. I have only stated facts and written words. You are imparting your own biases onto my written words.

    Estes Pro Series II Igniters - 100% failure rate

    If these igniters are designed to only be used with an Estes E Launch Controller, it should say that very clearly on the package. I don't think it is unreasonable for me to have believed that igniters marketed to be used with (relabeled) motors that many of us are already familiar with would...

    Question on Tripoli L2 Study Guide Part 1 #42

    That question was clearly erroneous. In the new exam, they have fixed it.

    Estes Pro Series II Igniters - 100% failure rate

    I was using a fully charged 12V, 7.0AHr battery that I have used many times with Copperheads and First Fires without issue. Every igniter fired, they just didn't have enough oomph to ignite the motor.

    Estes Pro Series II Igniters - 100% failure rate

    The pyrogen was completely burned on all 4 igniters. I suspect there simply was not enough or it burned too fast to actually light the motor.

    Estes Pro Series II Igniters - 100% failure rate

    Golly gee, thanks for all the instruction. I guess if I weren't so retarded it would have worked great. Oh wait, I'm not retarded. I use a 12V launch system and have fired hundreds of composite motors in my lifetime, so I know what I am doing. The simple fact is that these igniters do not...
