"What the hell am I supozta do with all my sparky motors!" Come out to Hartsel, Colorado, and fly with us :-) Here in Colorado, we are blessed with no fewer than five active rocket clubs. Some of the clubs permit sparky motors, others prohibit them. At Tripoli-Colorado's Hartsel launch site...

Sounds like an excuse for a drag race of terror :D

Nice mod, thanks for the pics. I plan to do something similar. With the attachment point so low, that'll keep it from interfering with smooth parachute deployment.

Where/how did you attach the Kevlar? I'm going to build one of these myself, and replacing the supplied shock cord is at the top of the list of modifications.

Maybe I'll try to get video next time :D

Intent is never considered when enacting or enforcing a law.

I have mostly-convergent hobbies. Computers (tinkering, gaming). High-power rocketry. Photography. Most recently I started playing guitar.

That's me in number 7 running away :afraid:

I'll be using at least one Missileworks RRC2. I haven't decided if I'll back that up with another RRC2, or something else. Motor will be an M1350. Dave1

Nothing new to report yet. The next step is to send one of my tubes to Kent so he can slot the tube at the same time that he does the boattail, so that all the slots are lined up properly. In the meantime, here's a pic of my T3 of one of my favorite flights. This was on June 23, 2001 at...

You can still build the T3. Kits are unregulated. Dave

"Tip to tip"?

Y'all are gonna hafta talk to Art about that ;)

Level 3 fever!!! :D

The tubes will take a little bit of work to finish, but nowhere near a much work if I had to sand, gelcoat, sand, sand some more, ad infinitum. Thanks for the great tip, Con! It's a huge timesaver. Dave1

Pics... finally. Here's me laying the glass: Glassin' Then wrapping duct tape over the mylar: Tapin' Here's the finished tube: Done! That's not the mylar that's so shiny -- that's the finished, cured epoxy you're looking at. Dave1

I got my 3x Goblin decals from Tango Papa, as well. I haven't ordered from him in years; hopefully he's still around. Dave1

This is what I found when I unwrapped one of my tubes last night. Nice finish, but a few pin holes in the cloth. Dave1

I'm not exactly sure what thickness it is. Conway can give you more/better info on it than I can. Dave1

Okay, so I'm clueless and can't figure out this file-attachment thing. I'll post pics later (probably in the morning) when my photo host is back up. Dave1
