As there were lots of people discussing iPads and the iPad fever grew rapidly, I wonder, how many are the ones who haven't caught the desease yet... So if you have one or are planning to buy - don't vote. If you haven't bought and don't want to, or have bought and haven't liked it, please vote...

I ran out of parachute mylar. I've been searching on ebay but couldn't find anything. Could you help? I need something for less than $2 for square meter.

A kid (11 years old) phoned me. I don't know where he's got my number from. He asks about rocketry, he says he's a newbie and has made a rigid cardboard following some stuff on the bulgarian model forum, but the designs there are flawed. He wants information about how to get engines and...

My ISP's DNS servers are superslow, don't update their cache regularly, often go down due to "maintainance" as they call it :mad:. I tried openDNS but it doesn't interpret some domains and redirects to guide.opendns.com. Some pretty used sites like EMRR and electronix.ru So, do you know a...

I want to build myself a small simple launchpad to launch my rockets, as the rocketry club in my town was dismissed :( So, I've drawn it in SketchUp. What do you think? Should I start building it, or you have ideas from improvements?

The Waters of Mars Sunday 15th of November, 7PM GMT :pop: It's been such a long time I haven't watched doctor who... 3 or 4 months I think :y:

This caught my eye at the ВИЛАЗ furniture shop. I don't know if it's exact name is 'furniture foil', but it people stick it on desks, tables etc to make them look better and/or "repair" scratches. The gluey side is sticks quite well, so I wonder if this could...

Well, I've almost finished my sophisticated ATmega8 relay launch controller. That's what's left from the to-do list: The LEDs are in place, so I can only swap them in the AVR source, not move them around ;) As for the rest, do you think this front panel looks good or it needs changes? image...

ping hashnet.org ping: unknown host hashnet.org Tried BTK native DNS, OpenDNS, also tried several proxies. I even tried down for everyone or just me? . All end up with the same result: HashNet is down. So, What's wrong?

Is it just me, or hashnet.org is down? I can't connect to irc.hashnet.org I also tried pinging hashnet.org directly and through several TOR identities, but it's unreachable.

So far I have used only comersial ogive cones for BT-20 tubes and conical scratch-built paper+ex-foam nose cones for other tubes, because only NC-20 cones are available here, and it's pretty expensive to order nose cones online because they are used in industrial quantities :wave: But does...

What launch rod is best for A to F motors? How long? Single or in pieces? If in pieces - how do I connect them? (Simple carving or something more sophisticated?) :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:

I'm making a LPR single-rocket AVR-based launcher. The two parts will be connected with a regular UTP cable. The goal is to eliminate the high current in the long wires, so that I can put a longer cable. I have all parts & materials. :) The big problem is: What colour ABORT and ARM buttons...

I got my Zafod out of a closet... And I discovered that there isn't a motor block ring. So I decided to fly it. I measured the motor mount... It's exactly 70mm. There's not enough space to fit a motor block for an US motor, like the ones I've ordered. I've built the motor mount for the 50mm...

What do you make your parachutes from? Which is the cheapest/most effective foil? They no longer sale them in bulgaria, but the material for 1 'chute used to cost $1.50. I searched at towerhobbies.com, where I am going to make an order from, but only found assembled ESTES parachutes. ...

... do you folks use in your launch controllers? Do I need a large car/UPS battery, or I can do with something smaller, to fire an igniter?

I'm looking for plans/drawings(with dimentions) or, the best possible - rocksim design for ARC shark, but I can't find any anywhere. If someone knows - please post :)

Until now, I haven't made standard motor mounts, so I'm a complete newbie in this sphere. I've some questions: 1: I see that engine hooks have a little "hook" on the back. What is it used for? Can it hold the engine from gowing upwards, or I also need an engine block ring? 2: Is the 18mm A and...
