I was thinking there should be a way to print the summary of a bunch of engine configurations for a given rocket. I've been printing, and cropping screenshots so far, and it's been only OK. Any suggestions? thanks!

Looking for small engine A size two (or three) Stage rocket. My last one, Estes Astron Elliptic II, has been such a kick in the pants! But has been getting gunked up after launches and the engines are getting harder and harder to remove after flights. I'm on to a Comanche 3 mini now, but I...

I bet it was a combination of old igniters and the electric button without enough hutzpah. Aerotech d10-3 (single use) Aerotech d10-5 (single use) I'm going to get a couple more igniters and a new, bigger, foolproof electric thing. Any recommendations?

I've got three single use Aerotech engines. I tried to launch them the other day, but my Estes launch button thing didn't seem to make it happen. All three didn't go. Seemed like only 1-2mm at the end of the ignitor burned or fell off. It also seemed like the ignitors were a really tight fit in...

That works! I don't care for layout too much. I'll stick with the screenshot for now. Thank you.

Not at all, I'm happy to print the screen shot, and be done with it. But in the interest of learning, I thought I'd post. Do most folks use RockSIM? Seems a little steep at $124 https://www.apogeerockets.com/Rocket_Software/RockSim

I'd like to export the list of details for a simulation to print and stick with my rocket. Here's the screenshot of the info I'd like. There doesn't seem to be an easy way to do this other than typing it out! any help? thanks!

love that face-palm. Good thing I bought a couple of extra LEDs. I'm going to go this route for a locater alarm. But with one of these amazon $10 that should be even easier to tie it in with the parachute cord.

Hey folks, wondering if you have any pointers for brands and types of sandpaper, products, or paint to make balsa wood fins smooth as baby's bottom. Like new car smooth. Always seems that the balsa soaks up my paint, and the grain ends up showing through.

So I've got some medium powered rockets, but there isn't much in the way of desert or even open land around here in the Pacific North West. There is, however, large swaths of open water. The only thing I could come up with was a launch from the beach, towards the water, and someone in a small...

Well, looks like there's plenty of replies here Steven. But I'll chime in anyhow. I occasionally do launches with a rocket club in the Jefferson County area, near Port Townsend. It's pretty close to you there in Kent. I also come over to the Tacoma Seattle area. If you'd like to do some rocket...

So I guess this is a basic electronics quesiont. I have a breadboard, and put these parts together from these directions: https://jbgizmo.com/page6.html If I wire the blinking LED up in parallel with the piezo, the piezo doesn't beep. It only makes a solid, but louder, tone. If I wire...

Perfect. thanks!

hola folks, I was wondering if someone could take a peek at my model of ... my model. The apogee seems wrong, the velocity at deployment says n/a - I think I'm missing something. thanks!

re the Eclipse and the K570. I didn't install the quick switch and I extended the 54mm MMT.

Thanks for the info. I'll be sure to look in to the fiberglass kit. Got a CTI K570 lined up for the first flight. Should be a blast.

I'm bulding a PML Eclipse dual deploy. I've used the PML Co-pilot but wonder how it compares with the Transolve P6. Any thoughts or suggestions?
