    New to tracking

    I've been looking at different GPS trackers. Looked at the BRB900, T3 System, and Eggfinder. I'm leaning towards the T3 system. I was wondering where I could mount the transmitter as the rocket the tracker would be for has a black nosecone? I'm guessing I cannot mount it to the opposite side...

    Ozark Aerospace ARTS1 altimeter

    I just recently acquired an ARTS 1 altimeter, but no connectors came with it. Do I need these connectors in order to program the altimeter? If so, where can I get these connectors?

    CTI motors

    Does anyone know if there's a date code on the problem CTI 54mm motors? I have two sealed J449s. I will have to open it up and remove the pellet if need be.

    Minor zipper fix

    I launched my LOC IV on its first flight on a G126. Perfect flight and recovery, except for about a 3/8", maybe, zipper. Very minor. I think I can epoxy it back into place. However, I'm was wondering if I applied wood hardener at the top of the tube like the top 1" or so, if that would prevent...

    LOC Esoteric

    I just had one of these made for me. It's on its way as I write this. I have to fiberglass the transition, but I don't think I'll have to fiberglass the rest. I know there's a member here that has built one of these legends. Any tips, thoughts, will be very helpful.

    Rocketry Warehouse Hellfire

    Has anyone, aside from Gary T. flown this kit yet? First flight for mine is on Saturday. I was wondering what size charges were used. Right now, I have 2.5g charges. I was thinking of upping it to at least 3.5 to move the forward section, which is heavy and to break the three shear pins up top.

    Fiberglass bulkhead into molded fiberglass nosecone

    I am trying to get my bulkhead dry fitted and I can across an issue that I am not sure is common. The bulkhead will not sit evenly inside. It wants to sit along the coarse ridges in the nosecone. Is that common? Anyone have this happen before? Would the bulkhead be OK not sitting evenly all...

    Molded Fiberglass Nosecones

    I received a Rocketry Warehouse Hellfire kit for Christmas. I was trying to get the bulkhead into the nosecone tonight for a dry fit, but was unable to do so. Even after quite a bit of sanding, there was little progress. I was wondering two things. One, what would be easier, sanding the...

    Escape Velocity Electronics bay

    Everytime I fly my Escape Velocity, the rear bulkhead comes loose. No matter how tight I tighten the nut, the aft bulkhead is always knocked off the bay. I am suspecting it happens at either main deployment or at landing. Anyone have any suggestions on how to keep this from happening?

    Cosmodrome Black Brant II

    I just bought this kit last week. This is kind of replacing the Red Arrow Hobbies version I destroyed last year. I have not done a lot of work on it yet as I just opened it today. I only have the forward centering ring and the shock cord mount epoxied in. I am waiting on the second side to...

    1997 J350

    I am putting together a J350 that was manufactured on December 17, 1997. I know that is before the fire, but that is not my concern. My concern is that my forward seal disk will NOT go into the liner as it is supposed to. Most of the seal disk is above the liner. I checked on the inside and...
