    My GPS transmitter winter project

    I'm a big fan of Eggtimer products, I have several quark altimeters I use frequently and a bunch of eggfinders (5 I think including mini's and TRS's), I use one in nearly every flight. Big thanks to Cris for supplying such great products at great prices! But... I also love to tinker with things...

    Help support the Rocketry Locator app!

    Many of us have been using the free "Rocket Locator" android app for years. It has helped me find many rockets! Sometime last year Google changed the way google maps worked which prevented the maps from loading. The app creator is working on the fix, but it will take some time and effort. If you...

    2.6" Darkstar ~ Wildman Rocketry

    URRF was a blast, and to top it off I was the lucky raffle winner of a 2.6" Wildman kit! The kit being raffled was a competitor with a 38mm mount. When I picked it up Tim was kind enough to let me swap it for a Darkstar with 54mm mount! I did't get the parts pile pic, but overall I was impressed...

    why was Patelldp banned?

    Does anyone know why Dan was banned from TRF? Sounds like he received no reason or notice before being banned.

    Animal Motor Works

    Just wanted to give a big thanks to AMW. They weren't able to make it to our last launch due to a scheduling conflict and bad weather, but they arranged for any orders placed by Friday morning to be delivered to the field Sat morning. no shipping, no hazard charges, just whatever you needed...

    Does L3 cert have to be DD?

    I know for a Tripoli L3 flight you have to have redundant deployment electronics, and I have no issue with dual deploy, I do it on most flights. I'm just wondering if a L3 cert flight has to be dual deploy. lets say a big rocket that was going 2000 ft on a baby M. can you pop the chute at the...

    what's a scratch build?

    I know what it means, but what do you consider scratch? obviously putting a kit together is not, and making your own tubing, nosecone, and fins is. But where is the line drawn? for example, my L2 rocket was a rocketry warehouse DYOK, (design your own kit). I picked out a nose, chose the tube...

    Lil Rascal HED build

    monday at LDRS34 AMW was having a killer sale. They not only had the AMW kits but a pretty good selection of Madcow kits as well as Rocketry Warehouse kits. I couldn't resist and picked up a RW Lil Rascal in fluorescent yellow and a madcow 2.6" patriot. This Lil Rascal kit is pretty nice for the...

    Scarab 54

    I picked up a scarab 54 with a 38mm motor tube during the Rocketry Warehouse black friday sale. I got a 38mm Aeropack motor retainer and some 5/16th kevlar for the Y harness. This kevlar is massive, defiantly overkill for this rocket but it's that or the 1/4" stuff that just seems a little...

    wildman 2.6" V2 speed build!

    got this kit on the LDRS special, so it has to be ready to fly at LDRS to get the H255 and 4g case. first I glued on the included motor retainer using JB weld. you have to set the spacing of the retainer to the motor you are using. I set mine for 3/8" for AT 29mm rms motors and will use an 1/8"...

    Wildman Sport DD, AKA Billy The Kid

    one of the kits in my build pile is a Wildman sport I picked up a while ago. I picked up a 12" payload tube and 6" coupler to make it dual deploy. my goal with this kit is to build a lightweight yet durable rocket to fly on 29mm G and H motors. I am going to build it as light as I can keeping...

    LDRS34 Level 2 success!

    Looks like the weather is not being very nice to LDRS34, but I was fortunate enough to get up on the high altitude waiver Thursday morning thanks to Teddy. I built this rocket from a Rocketry Warehouse 3" DYOK. extended the booster tube to 36" when I got it just in case I wanted to put a 2800...

    AT E18 failure

    Had an Aerotech E18 fail yesterday and ruin the forward closure. it also was the first and last "flight" for my sons Maxi alpha 3 :( I assembled two of them at the same time, one was fine, one was not. I'm very sure I put it together correctly. I used vasoline to lube the o rings. delay was only...
