Hello fellow rocketeers, I have not been very active on this forum recently… For the past two years I have been consumed by some (very positive) life changing events, such as retirement and moving from Illinois to beautiful Colorado. Anyways, I am coming back to rocketry a little more...

https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/videos/a6447/video-man-on-207-mph-rocket-bicycle-humiliates-ferrari-at-dragstrip/?src=socialflowFBRAT Old news, in a way, but I had never seen this.

First time I hear about it. Anyone knows more? https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-36773074

It happens. I know ndzied1 is looking for his L2 rocket, and I did not want to hijack his thread, so here we go: 3" Wildman, black with a red band, plus Stickershock23 decal reading "Angry Duck". Flown on Saturday morning on a K-490. Silver tailcone retainer. Feel free to add your lost...

Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere... Really interesting video. HPR project by Engineering students from University of Arizona. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcGWgywcBOE

Gustnado ??? (which of course is the combination of Gus and tornado, not gust and tornado) Did you have a large bowl of chili again? :y: Or too much of the cheese curds? :facepalm:

I must have been living under a rock. Just saw this video and I think this technology is way cool. Perhaps it can be applied for odd shaped rocketry components like fin cans or nose cones... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKuXyeAGzEU

Best one I have seen to date... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Estes-2274-Recovery-Wadding-Brand-New-/400603101235?pt=Model_Kit_US&hash=item5d45ce3833

After being introduced in the MWP 11 Registration is open thread, the MWP11 duck shirt is taking flight on its own. :o Yep, if you like the idea, you can now reserve your own "Duck !" shirt and wear it proudly at MWP 11 (and whenever you visit your in-laws). The current design looks like...

I know, I know. I feel like the camel in the Geico commercial (I think it is Geico). Guess what day it is, huh? Guess. What. Day. It. Is. Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike! Well, just like Humpday, the summer is pretty much behind us, Labor Day weekend is behind us, it is time to turn towards...

I was just mesmerized by that 9 minute video. That is some serious craftsmanship. :eyepop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=m3KdpzL3Hkk&feature=endscreen

Well, the fat groundhog said we will have an early spring, so I decided to start my spring clean-up early. Did I say fat groundhog? Oops. I'm sorry, did not want to offend Punk-Swat-Tony Phil :rolleyes: Here's a couple items I not longer need: First, one Rouse Tech / Monster Motors...

When I first saw the picture of the 5 inch Jart right after the Wildman's Black Saturday sale I thought "Doh! I should have bought one of those". :( Thankfully about a week later Tim realized he had some units leftover from the sale and posted a message here on TRF. This time I did not...

That's what I need... https://www.impomag.com/scripts/ShowPR.asp?RID=20233&et_cid=2389719&et_rid=60861016&linkid=http%3a%2f%2fwww.impomag.com%2fscripts%2fShowPR.asp%3fRID%3d20233&CommonCount=0

Looking for 9.25" tubing. This is to go with an older Maximum Thrust Rocketry nose cone I still have. Looks like their product line was purchased by RDS several years ago, but since then RDS has had some issues and I believe they are out of business (correct me if I am wrong). So, does...

I, for one, would love to see what ideas were submitted for this contest. I think it would be cool to share our ideas and designs. Who knows what will come out of this. It's always fun to have a comparison point and to see the great ideas are out there. One of those could be my next scratch...

Great service from these two well known companies shouldn't surprise anyone, but it is still worth mentioning. Recently I had an issue with my CTI 75-6G hardware. After firing an M-2150 the casing had a bulge near the forward closure. The exact cause of the problem is not entirely clear...

New, unbuilt, in the bag. Retails for $269. First $190 takes it, and I will pay for shipping.

Just planning ahead... I have quite a bit of experience with flights up to 20-25K, but all of a sudden I have a project in the works for a 30-35K flight, and another one in the planning stages for a 50K (I hope) flight :cool2: . I know what it takes to get a rocket up there, but I want some...
