I just bought a LOC I-Roc. It doesn't come with instructions. I am confused on the orientation of the fins. They appear symmetrical, but they aren't. If I attach thr fins with the laser burned IROC name reading down there is slightly more sweep on the leading edge. If IROC reads up, there...

I just visited the Estes page for their 1010 rail buttons. I think it's great Estes is coming into the 21st century with rail buttons for their PS II rockets, I couldn't help but notice the lack of nuts to secure the rail buttons with. The look like the same rail buttons Apogee sells...

The other night, I watched an old episode of "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" on YouTube. It was ridiculous, a giant whale swallowed the diving bell. When the diving bell appeared on screen, I started laughing since I noticed the diving bell bears a remarkable resemblance to Stuart, toe...

I am just starting my Katana build and I'm debating on whether or not I should glass the tubes. I would like to fly it on K motors, so the added strength may be needed, or at least provide some peace of mind.

I just received an email from Wildman letting me know my Ultimate Darkstar kit was just delivered!!! I may have it done in time for Airfest! Level 3, here I come!

Estes is bringing back another classic for a limited run. My guess is it's the Astron Cobra.

Registration for Turkey & Grits is now open. I registered this morning. https://www.gritslaunch.com/wp-content/newfold-page-cache/_index.html

This past weekend, I picked up a PML Quasar kit from Chris Short at the monthly SEARS launch. I didn't realize it's a 2.5 inch diameter rocket with a 54mm motor mount😳. I opened the kit today to start the build and realized the kit and the instructions don't match. Like many PML kits, the...

This is so insane it's good!

I have a North Coast Bounty Hunter on the way and I was looking for an Aeropack retainer for it and I noticed 29 mm retainers for LOC motor tubes now come in three varieties, L, L2, and L3. I haven't been able to find what the difference is.

Has anyone heard if Turkey & Grits is go for 2023? I went the last two years and had a great time. I know the website is down after the loss of Roy Green. I haven't seen anything on the SOAR site or here.

I'm in a bind. I've been busy at work and am planning on my L2 cert flight at work. I haven't installed a sim program yet so I might not be able to run a sim myself. My questions is what delay time should I use with a PML Tethys flying on an AT J275? Thanks in advance for the assistance. Rob

Has anyone used these ejection charge wells from Tinder Rocketry. I just found them on Apogee's website and they look really nice. https://www.apogeerockets.com/Ejection-Systems/Ejection-Canisters/FireBird-3G-Recessed-Ejection-Charge-Wells

The NAR just announced the dates and location of the NSL East. It's 10-12 Nov in Pence, Indiana. Here is the link to the announcement. https://www.nar.org/nsl-east-2023/

I just received a promotional email from Estes saying Target is or will soon carry Estes Rockets. I wish local Target wasn't such a long drive.

I am considering a LOC Magnum to have ready for this fall. I am leaning toward the "classic" version with a central 54mm motor and outboard 29mm motors. The latest version comes with motor tubes for up to six outboard motors, vs. two. It appears I will need to order a separate e-bay as this...

Yesterday, Tom Brady announced his BREXIT from the NFL

I just bought a PML Tethys. I would like to fly it on K motors. Has anyone modified a Tethys for altimeter controlled dual deployment? Any tips are appreciated.

The new year is almost upon us and it's time to start planning out our goals for 2023. Here are mine: 1. Certify level 2. Work and the need for two dental implants forced me to skip this one for 2022. 2. Become proficient with dual deployment. 3. Attend Air Fest. 4. Attend turkey and...
