Don't know if this is the correct forum to post this in or not...it was my best guess... Does anybody know of any large open places or fields in CT. to launch some mid-powered rockets....(aerotech..F21 powered executioner) I have been using a local high school field complex but i don't...

Because with my luck...I would spend the $50 for the casing and then $30 for reloads and end up losing the rocket on the first or second flight. Good-bye RMS Casing and my money. I will just quickly snatch up what F21's are left and hope they make them again very soon. Thanks everybody for...

Thanks for the help "Countdown" but it seems that everything i am looking for you are out of stock in. Any other suggestions? Does anybody know when Aerotech will be manufacturing these engines again?

All very good suggestions but i would rather not spend the $45 on an engine housing and then reloads and risk losing the rocket. I was hopefully looking for single use engine replacement that would give me more zip then the Estes "e" engines and be in the $25 dollar range(for 2). Ant other...

Does anybody have any ideas for a replacement engine for the Aerotech F21-6 engines. I know they are out of production and not even sure if they will come back. I have an Executioner that i want to launch on these babies but i can't get motors. I want to retain the stock 24mm engine mount in...

no mods at all to the engine hook or mounting? If not then that is very cool. How high do u think it goes with this engine? and where is the best place to purchase these baby's?

hi all.. Just wondering what is the biggest engine that i can fit into a stock executioner. I thought about putting a 29mm mount into it but i'd rather not lose it. I would like to keep it stock but still juice it up a bit with a big engine. thanks...greg.

Hmmm...on second thought..the steel leader does'nt sound all that good. What size kevlar cord do you recommend? And also where is a good place to purchase all of my supplies to modify this baby with? Thanks...Greg D.

I am interested in the steel leader idea...please tell me more details. This is a great alternative to a kevlar cord. Thanks greg

So do i just go buy a 29mm motor mount tube and the proper size centering rings and build per the instructions? How do i secure the motor into the mount? Detailed help would be great. Or a link to where i can find the answers!!!! Thanks...greg d.

I am defenitly interested in putting in an Aerotech 29mm motor in it. Probably an "F" engine. How does one go about modifing the motor mount for this type of engine? I am going to use kevlar cord inplace of the cheap shock cord. Should i use the same mounting technique as the shock cord ...

Just bought a nice new Estes Executioner... Looking for some upgrade ideas... I would like to get ride of the shock cord and use something else in it's place. Any ideas on this and other upgrades would be great. Can't wait to assemble this baby and let-er rip. Greg d.

What kind of altitude should i get when i decide to fly my cloned version of the Astron Ranger? I plan on using 3 C6-5 engines. This rocket will not have the payload section. Just a straight body tube. So i imagine it will be a little lighter then normal. I have a pretty big area to fly in so...

I am currently building an Astron Ranger clone. I plan on using 3 C6-5 engines for the flights. I am not going to do the payload section as the original. Just a straight tube 1 piece. Does anybody have any suggestions on stability? C.G. point? Nose weight? Thanks for you help...

Hello all. I am thinking of building a clone of the old estes ranger cluster rocket. A screamin mimi rocket contains just about all the parts one would need for this rocket. I need to know what is the proper way to light all 3 engines correctly. I have done searches on this forum and...

I'm interested in doing some night launches. Does anybody have any suggestions on which kits to use or any tips on maintaining a visual on it all through it's flight. I was thinking on using an Estes payload kit with a glow stick inside. What do you think? Are there any special paints i can use...

well i guess i am now officially a true rocketier. i lost my first rocket today. alpha III using c6-7 engine. launch was beautuful , ascent was perfect but i guess it was a little to high for my 34 yr old eyes to see. heard the chute charge pop but no rocket. oh well ... i guess im off to go...

wow! you guy's are great. thanks for all of your fast replys and tips. i have a feeling i'll be using this forum alot. once again thanks for all your help. greg......................

hi all. i am new to rocketry and i have a small problem. i just purchased an estes 1406 alpha III rocket kit. i flew it with the stock engines. launch was perfect but when i recovered the rocket i noticed the top of the tube where the nose cone goes was slightly crimped inward. i pulled the tube...
