    QUESTION About DOORKNOB Details . . .

    No dimensions, but I do have a source. I got my drawings from Peter Alway's Rockets of the World 2002 Supplement. The images are annotated: Single and two stage Doorknob Vehicles, system drawing. Figure 25 from unidentified report, provided by Dick Hay, Sandia National Labs Hawaii Test...

    QUESTION About DOORKNOB Details . . .

    Dang! Is that a picture of scratch Doorknob I built I few years back. That simulated rail guide looks familiar.

    Estes Pro Series II Doorknob Build

    Enjoyed reading through this. I haven't touched a rocket since my move. I've built I think 3 Doorknobs using Peter Alway's drawings: 29mm HPR, 24mm two-stage, and a 13mm LPR. I think at least one of the builds is hiding here somewhere on this site. I used Ace Hardware's Rocket Red color for my...

    ACR PSR 1824 Build Thread

    Well, granddaughter number 2 is 6 months old at this point. I'm expecting a cash influx over the summer. I'm going to drop a couple of hundred on a window AC unit for my shed. That may get this build restarted. I need a new photo hosting site.

    Man Cave Coming

    In Florida? Absolutely. Thinking something like this. It came wired for a single overhead light and a single two gang outlet. I can tie in an extension cord and power it with a generator or, if I get really ambitious, run it all the way to the house breaker.

    Man Cave Coming

    It's been so dang long. Posting from Photobucket is so wonky anymore. I want them as screen shots, not wallpaper.

    Man Cave Coming

    Long time no post. So I moved to a new house almost a year ago now. One of the first things we ended up purchasing was a 12' x 20' storage shed we ended up picking up on the cheap as it was a repo. It will be my Man Cave. I spent most of last Saturday hanging the last of the sheet rock. Having...

    ACR PSR 1824 Build Thread

    Well, I'm finally in my new house. Don't ask. The ARC is still packed away in a box somewhere. The last time I saw it the wife dropped some object on it and bent the main body tube. I hope its fins remained more cruciform than my scratch doorknob did.

    ACR PSR 1824 Build Thread

    I'm not dead yet. I did move out of my house. In doing so, I had to pack all of my hobby stuff away. When I packed away the 1824 my wife dropped something heavy into the box and crimped the main body tube. Major repair ahead. Anyway, my slab got poured just before the new year so it looks like...

    I painted everything in flat finishes. I read somewhere that flats make the fluorescents stand out better. Great pics Ted. Next up will be turning the forward the forward mounting pins.

    Oh, definitely. Daddyisabar warned me about that. I kept the paint where the boosters and sustainer meet to a minimum. I can plan on doing separation tests next week.
