    Launch Contests

    Anyone do High Power or even Mid power contests at an organized launch? What did you do? I'm looking for ideas. I know about the low power contests and NAR contest rules. Some can be adapted for high power. I was wondering if there was something else too. Thanks.

    Paint Cracking

    Why does this happen? I put a clear coat on dry paint and part of it "cracks". Just part, not everywhere. I have to sand, prime, paint, and coat again!

    'Chute size for 15lb rocket?f

    I'm looking for a 'chute size for my 5.5" Harpoon that weighs 15lbs empty. It will be dual deployment. I tried a parachute calculator and it said I needed a 104" 'chute. That's over 8 1/2 feet. It seems too big. Can anyone recommend a good 'chute size? How about a 'chute maker? Thanks.

    Loki 54mm's

    There is the 2000ns Loki 54mm for the K250 & K960. They also have the 1600ns Loki 54mm for K's, but the website has no reloads yet. I assume they are not certified yet? Anyone heard about reloads for the 1600ns case?

    Dog Barf Wadding?

    Where can I get biodegradeable dog barf wadding in large supply? I've looked at Home Depot and they don't have it. Any suggestions? I'll try the local ACE hardware store, but it is small.
