Free stuff?! Where do I sign? Wait, what's this about a kidney? Ah, who cares, it's free stuff!

Caveat That's right, I'm back. :cool:

I had forgotten about the space elevator concept, I very much favor that as a mover of large quantities of material etc to orbit. I doubt they'll have one up by the end of the year, but but maybe while I can still go for a ride. I had thought that myself until I read Riding Laser Beams to...

"Lightcraft" utilized a ground-based laser to detonate thin layers of propellant on the underside of the craft, propelling it upward. Unfortunately, a quick search online has only provided information about their progress from the year 2000 or before. My personal favorite methodology for...

They might just fit with one in the center, but I think they might more easily fit in a pentagon arrangement. Obviously you would have to fly it full all the time with a pentagon, but if you want to practice at clusters it's a great idea. Peace :cool: Mike

I've still got a bunch of little kits to sell, minus the ones crossed out. The prices I put up are just there to start, you can make whatever offer you think is reasonable. Of course I can't get rid of all of them for a buck but I'm not demanding my posted price for any of them. Go ahead and...

All my unopened kits are for sale because I'm not going to build them anytime soon and the bills need to be paid. I'm looking for a new job but the search is frustrating at best, so here are the kits I have: <u>Estes</u> 1 - Trans Wing Super Glider (Discontinued) - $20.00 2 - Venus Probe...

I'm assuming you mean the Gluhareff Pressure Jet Engine, which uses the injected fuel itself to induce air intake. A quick Google search will bring up a few good pages right off. These are generally put on the rotortips of homemade craft to propell the rotors themselves. Ramjets, on the...

Mad Rocketeer hit it on the head, check the stability beforehand. I used west system epoxy (because it was there) 105 resin and 205 hardener, one pump from each, the motor mount used about on third to one half of the mix and the majority of the rest went in the tip of the nosecone. I can't say...

When I put the motor mount in I used 20 min epoxy, I just poured the extra into the nosecone. It turned out to be enough for stability. Peace :cool: Mike

I made a sacifice to the rocket gods yesterday. I had upgraded my estes eliminator with a 29mm motor mount and a kevlar shock cord so needless to say it had flown on a couple F's. The thing held up very well, I assume because I painted it red with black fins and NC. ;) So yesterday we went to...

There's no minimum order at Mouser either. <a href:"https://www.mouser.com">www.mouser.com</a> You can get their enormous paper catalog of parts etc. or everything in a CD free at the website. Peace :cool: Mike

I'm not going to hazard a guess as that could only end in tears. All I ask is that this doesn't turn out like the Segway and dissappoint millions of excited rocketeers. Emotional damage of that magnitude could send the world economy into a downward spiral that would leave Bill G*t*s in...

And these are the little boosters for two stage flights. When I get some motors I'll get a picture in flight configuration.

The business end of the sustainer.

Ok so it's been forever since this thread was active but I finally got trinity put together, well, mostly. Here's the sustainer standing at attention.

Standard paintballs are .68 cal or .68 inch diameter, however there are also .40 cal paintballs used primarily in blowguns. I hve seen .50 cal paintballs too, and have heard about .25 cal being used in some games. The .40 cal are a little harder than the .68 cal, and I'm told the .25 cal are...

The NAR maintains a list of motors certified by them and Tripoli for insurance purposes. It is published once a year in the NAR magazine "Sport Rocketry" and is updated as often on the NAR website. The location of the list itself, which includes the dimensions of each motor, is...
