Just wanted to share my most recent completions. I actually tried to make the Patriot match the kit picture.... It's hard to beat that Krylon primer/paint combo....

Can you preload your reloadable motor case prior to heading out to the launch site????? If so, how long would the shelf life be???? Thanks

Guys, I have a question......... I have a LOC Norad that I got some time ago from an auction. It's a great rocket and after a non-deploy chute it hit the ground and displayed a crack aroung the fin section BUT!!! it's still very strong and shows no signs of weakness. Now that the paint has...

Where can an honest hard working guy (or me) find some good igniters without making them himself????? sandman, remember those neat little jobs we bought from that RedArrow hobbies guy, well I tried getting him and he emailed me that he didn't have anymore. He also didn't offer any suggestion...

* Pics * completed and ready!!! take 2 I have a pic of my completed Fliskits Rhino. I messed up the puple paint a little after applying decals and attempted to clear coat. The clear coat and paint didn't get along so I hit it with another coat of purple over the decals. Allowed them to show...

I have a pic of my completed Aerotech Barracuda. Have a look. This is the Barracuda....

That's right, I finally have my G-Force under paint and nearly ready for decals. Take a look as it's being held by Michael my son.

I already have a Deuce in it's normal "kit in a bag" version. I, like most of you really like this little dually. I thought, what can I do with one of the many other Deuces that I have hanging around. Well, I have numerous other kits hanging around also, so here is what I married. I...

A purple version of the Fliskits Rhino has been spotted in Ohio. The paint finally dried for a picture.... Check my other post to see my Deuce plus......

Does anyone have a spreadsheet or something that will use the weight of the rocket and desired altitude to suggest a motor??? I don't have any simulation software and didn't really want to get into it that deep. Just would like to have a suggested motor based on two variables, weight and...

Help please:confused: We have a couple of guys that have built the Aerotech G-Force and was wondering if a SU G40-4 (they might have a -7) would be ok for power. I see that it has a long burn but does it have enough power to get it going off the pad? I think the finished roc ket comes in...

Standing proud is my recently finished Estes E size V2. Standing next to it is the Super Nova with 2 Banshees as boosters making it of course a 3 motor cluster. I vowed to build another after my first one found a tree on it's first launch.:mad: It flew so well I said I have the kits, I will...

Can anyone tell me what this stands for? It's on the side the the Black Brandt II. Thanks

I see that the G-force is designed to separate in the middle instead of blowing the nosecone off the body to release the parachute. I'm guessing that it is that way because the ejection charge does not contain enough expanding gas to fill the big body tube and still have enough "umph" to blow...

How do you feel or have you ever bought altimeters from ROL auctions? Should I take a chance or just buy new? Lets hear from those who may have went the auction route. Thanks Just to let you know, I'm leaning heavy towards new.

Guys, In my previous discussion where I was talking about dual deploy using an Altimeter. If I'm using say a, G80 SU, why can't I use the engine ejection for the first chute and then the ALT for the main????? tell me, tell me, I'm listening.:p Thanks, this is fun stuff!!!!:cool: Randy

Guys, Are these good ignitors and what engine range will they work on? Thanks Randy

Here I am again folks, hey it's a long way up when you start with paper airplanes. Timers, when would you use these and why would you need one if you're using an altimeter? In my search for altimeter info I came across timers. Thanks for your insightful commentary. Now I will sit back...

After Whitakers and viewing all that spensive stuff and parachutes and socks and hats and coats and any sort of things people had flying out of their rockets, well I have a question.:confused: What would be the cheapest (not junk), smallest (size of rocket) and electronic parts that I would...
