    Yet another 38mm min diameter rocket

    I have had an awful track record when it comes to 38mm min diameter rockets. Back in 2014, I made my first one that flew on a CTI I800 Vmax. Shredded the phenolic airframe very quickly. 2015 I tried again with a carbon airframe, better stability margin and carbon fins with a CTI I216...

    Attempting the K and L altitude records

    Ever since LDRS ended, I’ve been working on a specific project XPRS this upcoming weekend. The project in question is a 54mm ‘flying case’ rocket designed around the CTI Pro54 6g XL case with the ultimate goal of setting a new Tripoli K altitude record, and possibly setting a new L altitude...

    Strange cable cutter failure

    Over the last weekend at LDRS, I flew a 54mm min diameter rocket that used a cable cutter for main deployment. Main altitude was set for 500’, but when I got the rocket back I noticed two fins broken off and the parachute still neatly folded next to the rocket. Both cable cutters had fired and...

    L Padre - A minimum diameter Big Daddy

    Sometime earlier this year, or late last year, in some thread I can no longer remember, I alluded to a a project of mine that was in the concept stage at the time. I had been fascinated with how far you can push the Estes Big Daddy rockets using the parts that come with the kit, and I ended up...

    38mm Min Diameter resurrection

    As the title suggests, I have recently resurrected a minimum diameter rocket of mine that last "flew" at Red Glare 18 back in 2016! For those that remember 2016, Cesaroni drew the short straw for bad luck... twice. First in the form of the unfortunate accident that resulted in the fire at...

    Found CTI 98mm and 75mm hardware

    I'm looking for a gen 2 CTI 98mm boat tail and adapter ring (part #s P98-BT and P98-AR) Also looking for a CTI 75mm case, 5 grains or more. Doesn't matter if it's gen 1 or 2, but gen 1 preferred as I already have the hardware.

    Cti 75mm 5grain case

    I already have closures for gen 1, but if its a gen 2 I may jump for the right price.

    Thickening and strengthening epoxy

    Right now I'm building a Madcow 4" Frenzy XL. Unfortunately I am almost out of my trusty proline 4500 epoxy. I do however have a lot of west systems 105/205. My question is what techniques does everyone use to thicken and strengthen this epoxy for use as a structural rather than layup epoxy...

    +70G flights with Raven 3

    Since Adrian's inbox is full I figure I might as well ask everyone else this question: I am wondering if the raven 3 will behave differently than what it's supposed to do if the accelerometer gets maxed out during flight. I understand that I will not get accurate speed or acceptation data due...

    Painting fiberglass

    I hate to ask, but I've had little luck with the search bar on this topic. How do you paint fiberglass to get a nice looking paint job. Usually when I paint I end up with a paint job that looks a little half assed chips very easily. I look at other rockets here on the forum (and the clubs I fly...

    AIM-9M dimensions

    Does anyone happen to have a detailed drawing of an AIM-9M with dimensions? I want to build a full scale model of one that will include functioning canards and rollerons.

    Minimum Diameter K1127?

    Has anyone tried, or plan on trying, to fly the new Loki 38mm K1127 in a min diameter rocket? A quick and dirty sim showed 23k and M2.9. This is a project I would love to attempt, but unfortunately I don't have the hardware (easy fix) or the waiver space (not so easy fix) required to do so...

    Wanted: 38mm Loki Hardware

    So I got into high power back in July and since then I've only flown on CTI. I felt that with the new year I could get into other motors as well, particularly Loki. So what I'm looking for is a complete 38-1200 motor, a 38-480 casing, a 38mm #16 nozzle, and a 38mm #19 nozzle. PM me or shoot me...

    Two stage help

    So I started in the developmental process of building a two stage high power rocket, and I have a couple of questions: 1) Which section do I put the staging timer? In the booster, or the sustainer? 2) If the timer belongs in the booster, do I have to worry about drag separation before...
