That's what I get for being in a hurry... a simple problem with measurements... but I figured it out ...

Give me a minute or two to think of something to say...

I built this for our clubs first night launch... It flew quite well, but came down fast and hard, landing on the asphalt... so I spent a couple of hours repairing it today. What I need is a name for this monster...

Are these guys out of business? Of all the launch pads out there... theirs would have been the one to go with...

Veteran Rocketeer George Gassaway reports on the US TEAM from The WSMC, near Lliead Spain... looks like the US team has won at least one medal... https://launchmagonline.com/ Congratulations to George ... a BRONZE Medal winner in SA9 Helicopter Recovery...

I just bought a wood lathe for my sons (13th) birthday. He has already created several projects in wood, and I couldn't help notice, he spent way too much time, that could have been saved using a lathe. It's a nice set up. (I might add, that I grew up in a machine shop environment.) A quick...

Guys...Help.... I'm aghast... and I'm completely lost... My dog, who shouldn't get out of the fence, but does occaisionally... has really formed a bad habit. For the second time lately... she comes home with some other dogs, dog toy. The first time is was sorta cute, I didn't...

I recieved a copy of this new CD-rom in the mail today. I must admit that at the time of printing, it was most likely up to date with the information that is enclosed, but there are errors. Please visit our website: WWW.BIRMINGHAMROCKETBOYS.COM for the current and up to date...

Be truthfull now... How many of us (besides me...), have finished a rocket that looks great... and you can't wait to show it off at the field, only to find that as you go to place it on the launch rod, it has no launch lug...??? Be honest now...

I've built a few two-staged rockets over the years, but I always wanted, and finally bought an Estes "FarsideX" clone. I thinking of using the payload section for my "BoosterVision" gearcam. It ought to be cool seeing the staging from the rockets perspective...!!! I'm going to practice...

For those of you who have answered my original post... THANK YOU... The personal e-mails are more that welcome... The issues at hand are important enough (for me)to go out on a limb like this.

I had my first CATO ever this past Saturday. It had to be my prized "GREEN GOBLIN"... Man I loved that rocket... I was flying a ESTES D12-7, as I have many times before. Looking at the casing... it just burnt through the side wall... the cone blew off, melted my 'chute, but the body tube just...

Anyone with "CiCi" experience? If I understand correctly... you mount a weight on one of the wings (or side?) in order for it to maintain a radial pattern while gliding back. I lost my first one because when it reached altitude, it seem to just keep climbing... and flew away... Would I...

Almost finished... Stock except for the steel leader bound to the motor mount (for the shock cord attachment)... Also haven't decided to add the dorsal fins yet...!!!

I was wondering why you can buy "aftermarket" type parts... But they're not legal within the BSA scouting guidelines (assuming that the "official" rules are in fact adhered to)... So far this is the design... what you see is primer only... We've already polished the wheels and the nails...

I don't know why...??? Got a wild hair this evening, and started building... really simple, but while the paint dries, I've thought of a couple of questions... Am I right in guessing that the (real) reason for duel parachutes is that the capsule couldn't handle the stress from a normal...

Anybody got any LARGE ignitors I could use...??? It's got 5 "F" somethings in it...
