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...

Not too many of these out there and I found one on sale for the right price from a vendor at a club launch. Pictures to follow but it's going to be a very busy week followed by a vacation. I WILL be taking the rocket with me. It is, after all, MY vacation. Pictures to follow. Sorry...

I have plans to attend the April NEFAR launch and have motor needs. Bernie is a frequent on-site vendor. I would like to get in touch with him and maybe do some kind of pre-order. That's the plan any way. How ever, I have no clue how to reach him. I'm pretty sure a phone call is out...

Just a teasing place holder for now, but I included a Rocksim file based on what would be a stock build. (There ya go. Pictured added!)

Happy Birthday to the United States Marine Corps.

Hope it flies better than the paint stuck. Ready to get this project off the bench.

I'm using Rocksim V9, Build 118. I'm trying to get the AT E20- available in my motor list. I've downloaded the motor file and it is in the list of motors on the right hand side of selected engine files. I reloaded the engine data but it doesn't show up. I've done it once before but...

We can rebuild it... Here's a few photos of the damage and repair of the nose cone on my big Photon Probe: 1. Giant chunk taken out by impact with the body tube. 2. Duct tape holding the chunk in place while the Gorilla Glue cures. 3. Multiple application of CWF into the hollows and...

Today Dragon_Rider10 and I met up at a local flying field and put a few up. It was hot. Not Texas hot, but we wished for a bit more breeze. First up was my Estes Orbital Transport on a B6-2. Beautiful flight and recovery. The glider floated down in a tight turn and set down of the sidewalk...

It's still all Brianc's fault... Ok, so here goes yet another build thread of the obscure, Sandia Laboratories Doorknob. This time it will be a two-stage. This is my first two-stage in I don't know how long (Estes Beta in 4H maybe) and my first gap stager. And just to add a degree of...

HobbyTown USA here in Jacksonville has begun to close their doors. They catered almost exclusively to the RC crowd, but they were the only place in town that carried anything Aerotech. Today I picked up the last of their AP: E20-7 2-pack E18-4 24/40 RMS D15-5 24/40 RMS Those last two...

I want to buy some 38mm Aerotech or compatable hardware. Used is fine. I'm looking for the following sizes: 240 360 480 600 I will also need fore and aft closures and seal discs. Using Paypal.

In July of 2009, I posted this thread about the murder of a very close friend and her baby being murdered at their neighborhood pool. Today, Andrew Gomez pled guilty to their murders. He will be sentenced on June 24, 2011. He faces 40 years to life in prison. Local news link can be found here.

Looks like I picked the wrong day to fly rockets. This photo is probably from 1993. The rain had stopped but the low soup remained. The photo is the only flight of my Aerotech HV Arcus. I can not remember what motor is was, but I'm thinking G40. I've not flown too many F's. The rocket went...

So far this year can only be described by words that are not forum friendly. Starting with my dad's death, work load, and some personal stuff, I'm pretty beat up. Saturday 3/12/2011 turned out to be a gem. I got my high-power re-cert! As I'll be leaving Jacksonville and relocating to...

A 4" upscale, BT-80 upscale, BT-55 original, and a BT-5 downscale. All have flown but the 4".

My Daddy died tonight.

What do you call a miniature doorknob? A drawer pull. Here's my version of 13mm motor powered 1/16.25 semi-scale Sandia Doorknob. Or Door Knob, I'm not sure.

I can't believe this one had not been done yet. "Over The Moon" - a 29mm powered, Holstein-spotted, Sticker Shocked decaled, Chick-Fil-A logoed version. Next to it, #1 daughter (holding rocket)and her Chick-Fil-A team. .

Please put your staging heads together and let me know if this can work. It's series 16 (1.64") in diameter and 18mm powered. The booster is 9.5" in length. Rocksim puts combination of B6-A8 to 500' and C6-C6 to 1350'. I know I need a staging vent in there somewhere, I know not where...
