I’ve been meaning to post an update for quite a while but it seems one thing after another has been getting in the way. First, for those are who are wondering my dad is still doing alright, he had a recurrence but after another surgery and more chemo his tumor is stable again. Thank you to...

I am working on a new safety switch designed specifically for rocketry. Anywhere that your electronics will ignite a motor, and also in some ejection setups this switch is designed to improve safety and prevent accidental firing from mistakes or component failures. The switch will be a highly...

I am starting a research / development project to make a head end ignition (HEI) closure. Eventually I would like to offer it as an item for purchase to be used under research launch rules. My overall goals are to make the unit as safe as possible, to make it easy to use/rebuild and to make it...

I am working on a new rocket design using a cluster of up to 7 motors, some of which may be air starts. The design would have a central 54mm mount and 6 38mm mounts. I have successfully flown a 1/3rd scale 3D printed model of the design with 6 A10s and a central D21 but I have not previously...

As the thread title states I am looking to see if someone can give me accurate dimensions of the Aerotech floating forward closure nut, both 38mm and 54mm. Particularly I need the inner dimension of the ring but I would like the remaining dimensions as well. If anyone can measure these for me I...

I am wondering if anyone knows where I might be able to get a 8" 5:1 conical carbon cone. Or alternately if anyone here who rolls there own tubes would be comfortable making a cone using an existing fiberglass cone as a mandrel? Because the rocket is entirely conical the cone does not have to...

After the destruction of his Mean Machine my dad and I started discussing what we should build next. We have a been mulling over a design for years for a ridiculously large rocket with a fin span of over 8ft and is like nothing anyone has ever flown. But we have ruled that out as we would need...

At my urging, my dad purchased and built an Aerotech N2220 Dark Matter motor for his L3 cert flight at MMWP last spring. But coming up to the launch we learned that the club is unable to set up the away cell at MMWP, so he had to fly his cert flight on an M motor instead. This left him with an...

I have been trying unsuccessfully to contact John Haught (sharkbait). He purchased an outstanding order from another customer of mine. When I tried to ship the product it came back undeliverable. I have also tried to contact the original customer with no luck. If anyone has a way to contact him...

You make a extended boring saw to remove it. Worked like a charm with a big enough hand drill, though we snapped the end off two hex adapters.

So the story behind this rocket... My dad flies rockets, I fly rockets, both my kids fly rockets, my wife... doesn't fly rockets. But she does come to all the launches. So for a while I've been trying to convince her to help the kids with theirs, or build her own, or even let me build her one to...

My primary place of work has given me permission to use our basic tensile tester for some personal stuff so I'm thinking about doing some tests on materials I use in my recovery system. I'm thinking of testing various sizes of Kevlar as well as different methods of tying ends and loops. I'm also...

Do to some issues with aggressive deployment of my steerable kite, I believe the last version was over sized, I had some issues with airframe zippering and sharp fiberglass cutting my kevlar. I have designed an aluminum anti zippering ring that I am looking to have made by Aeropack. To keep the...
