I have used emmakites for 1500# Kevlar. It was great stuff.

The best word I can think of for pro football is "sterile." You have 22 perfect physical specimens out these doing their job for whatever team they are playing for this year. For the most part, they have the same amount of passion as an appliance repairman. Bring back Lambert, Staubach, and Stabler.

Great to see you Top. I really liked your posts. Come back soon!

Congratulations!

Thanks to you both!

I have fiberglassed before, but only with a single weight of fiberglass. For the first time, I am going to use 6oz fiberglass followed by 2oz fiberglass to hide the weave. My assumption is that it would all go on during the same session, but I wanted to make sure. Your thoughts?

I have open trusses in my basement. I tie a piece of string to the bottom of the truss. On the lower end of the string, I tie a dowel (at the mid point). When you're ready to paint, tip the dowel vertically and slide down the center of the body tube. When it exits the lower end of the tube, tip...

Prayers for Mairan in her battle and Mark for support. I am so glad to her that there i positive news.

PM sent with info you requested.

Thank you so much Jeroen. I did not take the grains out to inspect them. I purchased this reload in September and it has been in my heated/cooled basement ever since save for a two day trip to south Georgia in February. I think I still have all of the packaging. I am going out of town tomorrow...

Thanks for the sympathy Coop. I was really depressed yesterday but am feeling better today. I know our hobby can result in the loss of a lot of hard work in just a split second, but this is the first time it has happened to me on a large/expensive rocket. I'll get over it. I also wanted to say...

I put the forward closure on the liner/grain assembly and slid them in first, then put the nozzle onto the aft end of the liner/grain assembly and slid them in the rest of the way. The overall length of the forward closure/liner-grain assembly/nozzle seemed exactly as I expected (even though I...

I don't think the igniter was the issue because the throat of the nozzle was clear post event. That's exactly what I did. I greased the rings, put the forward closure on the liner/grain assembly and pushed them in as far as they would go. I then put the nozzle on the aft end of the liner/grain...

I've flown Aerotech reloads since 1999, but a dealer in Manchester had a CTI 54mm 6 grain case (not brand new, but it looked flawless, except for some wear on the aft retaining ring anodizing). I believe in supporting the vendors that attend launches and bought the case even though I had always...

The video works great. Congratulations Roy!

In the fall I purchased the Comm Spec AT-2B RF tracker: https://www.com-spec.com/rocket/index.html Today I received my Tragic Little Aerospace GPS tracker: https://www.tragiclittleaerospace.com/ I wanted to use them both in one rocket to maximize the potential of retrieval. I am planning...

Thanks for the info. Chris and I spoke and I will be buying a transmitter from him.

I have heard that either SoAR or TARA have purchased a tracking receiver. I am trying to find out what transmitter I need to buy to be compatible. Does anybody have any info?

It's a staged rocket. There is not enough room in the booster for electronics.

I read some information on head-end ignition and it seems like that would take to project into research category. Do you agree?
