Is there a way you can make your rail buttons have a similar profile to the camera shroud? I ask because if you placed the 'camera shroud rail button imitators' on the opposite side of the rocket to your real shroud, you would balance the drag in one plain. Although drag is sometimes a bad...

Congrats on the successful flight! I've seen a number of over stable rockets fly in the way you described in your earlier posts. The model you flew in the last couple of days suggests you had shortened the rocket somewhat - reduce overstability, and made the fins with a comparatively longer...

While your mileage may vary, I’ve flown four or five long burn m’s (9s + burn time) with a jb weld affixed retainer attached to the mat. The rocket and retainer are still solidly in place. However, my suggestion would be to use the screw on retainers that afix to the bottom cantering ring. -...

Petg is better for your purposes.

Hi Folks, first, can I suggest abs filament for the part? That material is more robust and a bit more shatterproof than pla. second, if you use rocksim there is a file export capability that allows you to generate an .stl file from your simulation model. So, you won’t need fusion 360 or...

There was a guy, who knew a guy who managed to get 1500 feet of shock cord in a rocket. Just saying’ - longer is better. Sounds to me as tho the nose cone reaches the end of the cord and elastically bouncing backward towards the fin can. Bad hawk will tell you to attach the chute and shock...

Hi Folks this partially addressed my problem. The software no longer crashes when switching between various view - as noted above. Yay! alas, I get a completely black window that obscures the rocket render when I choose the 3D finished setting. Everything else is visible in the various...

Karl Hemphill and I launched the xflrs6 - from the Tin Tin moon shot series - on several m and then an n motor. The rocket weighed around 31kg with 75 mm m1850 motor. Construction was foam with a vinyl overwrap. You could fly this rocket on a very high thrust k, or l motor - aligned with your...

Jim Jarvis has written extensively on this. Check out his name and carbon fibre and rocket and you’ll get his guides.

Ah Steve, meet Australia’s currency - the pacific peso- and it’s buying power right now. Also, toilet is maybe a bit different from what you describe. It has tank water for washing up, and comes in red, or Tardis blue. Also, all of the other features you might expect in a thunder box. Also...

Dear friends, I want to thank all of you for kind support of our Victorian Prefecture in securing a vital piece of ground support equipment - see attached picture. We want to thank Australian Portable Toilets (APT) for running the competition. We appreciate APT's generous support of our club...

Ok - have people flashed the firmware from a Mac? If so, how? Thanks

That’s everyone for your support. Keep those votes coming. We have nearly two weeks for voting to go, so additional votes could make all the difference.

We're sneaky buggers down under, you have to look deep into the details to find our next nearest competitor with over 600 votes, and rising quickly. Thanks "MClark", I love your approach. Every vote counts.

G'day from down under! Voting for our entry in a photo caption competition will help us secure a much needed piece of ground support equipment - a portable toilet - valued at over $2500 (AUD). Serpentine launch site, located in the north western limb of Australia's State of Victoria recently...

Dear Onur By now, you have probably flown the rocket. From the file you provided, which I have looked at now, I could not detect the discontinuity. As noted above, if you set the deployment to apogee, most of the issues regarding high speed deployment will disappear. Also, to optimise the...

Oh, mostly made of foam. You should see Karl’s Soda can rocket!

31 kg flies on an m motor. A joint project between my buddy Karl Hemphill and I.

Sure, happy to help, PM me and we can sort it out.

HI Folks, Does anyone have a picture of Kurt did, or alas, WoShuGui's (see post #3) attachment is no longer available. Thanks
