So I've used this only twice and both times it didn't really log anything, or at least I can tell the data is incorrect. The first time I thought I needed a vent hole, so I drilled one (this was probably a year ago haha, haven't used it again till today). Now today with different rocket and vent...

I am upgrading my Estes Saturn V and was wondering if adding the engine bells for launch not display changes cp. This would make it a lot easier to sim in rocksim if I can just add mass to the bottom of the rocket to see how much weight to add to the nose. I think this would not work if cp...

Finally watched the video on how to attach the cord for recovery on the upper section. It shows taping the kevlar around the capsule and use package tape to hold it in place. Seems sketchy after spending months on a build and paint. I don't like it. Did anyone who bought the kit do this method...

I cant for the life of me keep the black paint from bleeding passed the masking tape onto the white paint between the grooves on the wrap. Theres only so much paint I can apply before the wraps look smooth. Ive tried masking then painting white, then the black hoping it would fill in any spots...

Anybody use any HF tools for small woodcutting jobs? With my Rocksim Christmas present, Im wanting to begin learning to cut my own fins, centering rings, etc. Id imagine 1/4 inch thick at the most. I was looking at a small 8in drill press and 9inch band saw. I know HF doesnt have the best tools...

I think it starts with an M, Marsa or Marsha? Anybody help me remember please.

Launched my Vulcanite on an I500 today. Eggfinder gave me a position on my Android phone as to where the rocket landed, but the rocket was nowhere to be found. Put in the gps coordinates from the Eggfinder lcd screen on my wifes phone, and it gave us the same location where we were standing...

Rocket is a Loc Vulcanite H76, 38mm. Ill be using an AT I500-14. Rocket reviews has the CP at 46.32" from front. Weight is 28oz without motor. CG is 28 7/8" from front. Aeropac retainer extends out 15/16". Length is 53 1/2" just in case. Anything else needed? Ive launched it on a G64 and it was...

Tested out my Eggfinder today in my Vulcanite with a G64. Launch was perfect. Eggfinder worked fine, gave me coordinates on my lcd. Have it connected to my phone via bluetooth, both lcd and phone in each hand. Walking over to to the rocket, my phone stopped showing the location of the rocket...

These CD instructions prove to be a problem when you only have Google Chromebook and a Lenovo Ideapad.......... Seeing if I can bring an old Dell laptop back to life. Diag revealed bad hardrive. :facepalm: Other than that, Im excited to start this kit. Got to finish my Estes Mercury Redstone...

Ive got an Astrobee D that Id like to stuff an H in. Whats the longest case that will fit in the mt with the baffle glued on the top?

Curious about other companies to buy single use motors, reloads, casings besides Aerotech and Estes that are readily available. Seems a lot of people like CTI but those are not available right now. Ive been using AT reloads and am happy with them just wondering what else is out there that Im not...

I ordered a LOC Vulcanite and was going to put my Eggfinder in the nose cone. I watched a video on how to do it and loved the idea. Totally excited I ordered a few extra centering rings and bulkhead disks. Unfortunately, none of those had a very good fit inside the nosecone, so I improvised and...

I would like some suggestions on what brand battery everyone is using for their eggfinder. I dont trust the one I bought off ebay. Brand names and links would be helpful. Thanks.

Finally got some batteries for it. Got a little to anxious and hooked up the battery backwards. :eyepop::facepalm: Needless to say, Ill have to get another one. I didnt even get to use it. Live and learn lol.

Does this look right? When I turn it on, a red light flashes once and it beeps, then the screen does what its doing in the pic? I dont have a battery on the transmitter yet. I just wanted to see if it worked. Not sure if that makes a difference.

Ive sent 2 emails, one about a week ago and one today. Nothing in my junk folder in my email. How long does it take for them to get back to me? I got Connor all lined up to do some soldering for me, just need the Eggfinder.

I post this seeking the almighty wisdom of the forum members. I have a few ideas floating around in my head and I think after the summer months in AZ I want to go back out with my club and see if I can get a rocket to reach a mile. I recently got my L1 cert on an H123 with a Loc IV. I really...

Just got my L1 so I need a longer wire going out to the pad. Maybe a stupid question but can I add 70ft to my Aerotech launch controller?

When I ordered my Loc IV, at the bottom of the screen Apogee suggested an 18" chute protector. Not doing any research but still wanting to try new things, I ordered that too. Turns out I only need a 12" chute protector. Is the one I have too big? As long as when everything is packed in the BT...
