Any Plans out there to make your own GSE? I know that some of the solenoids would have to be purchased for this project, but I am pretty handy with a soldering iron. A lot of cash could be saved by scratch-building my own controllers and fill-dump boxes…

He may be little...but he's no boy.

Happy Birthday Jerry!

POWER SUPPLY HAS BEEN DISABLED....! "Why is everybody on the ground?" That method of remote power disabling should be in the FAQ... :)

Reed G. has the IT skills to post a moving avatar...Very Cool! Your posys also demonstrate a solid, mature understanding of this sport

I have built and used for several seasons the Launch Controller that is posted on the INFOCentral site. It is a good, simple, relay based rig that can handle just about anything, if you use 30A car relays in the Relay box. It might be just the thing for your son to build for a multi-pad...

I am with you Fred. I use three buttons on all of my rockets. And I have caught flames about it. The additional stability offered at launch is well worth the additional expense, and I like the added structual strength added to the airframe. Plus Matt at RailButtons recommends three...

My Hi-Test 2225 flys GREAT with D12-5 if single and D-12-0 / D12-7 2-Stage. My only problem is that if the booster does not seperate correctly during staging, it burns up. The Sustainer does not care, it keeps going! Try A CHAD setup with her. That is Taping the D12-0 motors dorectly to...

Beautiful

Those underview shots of the Stiletto under full thrust are very nice...

ROTGLMAO!!!!

Be careful of what you wish for Lalligood... "Honey, there is a case of piston-stagers on the front porch." "Boy that is a big box" =P :kill: KarlD "Just kidding"

I like the syncronized look myself. Just a personal preference

Thanks Jerry for posting the picture of my High-Test 2225. She is a good size rocket for Estes D motors and is a blast to fly... nuff said.

The 3 fillets of TieBond II are stronger than the paper and plywood. From personal experience with a Through-the-wall mount crash from too much delay time, the bodytube fails before the Tiebond II fillet joint. Now a Quantium-G-22 fillet joint? Epoxy with milled fiberglass and/or...

Good point... I have a PML kit and a USR kit of about the same size. If both units would lawn-dart, The PML would probably fare MUCH better than the USR kit. However, the USR kit is half the weight, and goes much HIGHER in altitude with the same motor load as the PML kit. It's just a...

What would the costs be for just a lenght of Kelvar braded cord included with the kits? Prehaps include a "Quick-link" and have the kit-builder tie it all together. I know that it would be more thqn the "tri-fold" system, but I have had great success with this system on my USR kits...

Shannon is a pretty puppy...

I have built several USR kits and the use of Tiebond II for a paper to paper or wood works well. If you follow the instructions to fillet the fins three times with Tiebond II, in my exp, the joint is as strong as epoxy, only lighter. The only downside is that the Tiebond II fillets take about...
