Thanks for doing this. Favorite motor countdown: 5. MicroMaxx in an Art Applewhite Bic Stick as one of my students’ first rocket to build and fly, 4. C6-5 in any rocket designed and built by one of my students, 3. E9 in an Art Applewhite Dragonfly monocopter (always a hit in a school rocket...

Do you still have graphite rod? If you, what? Thanks, Matt

I was just thinking this morning that I would have to put a Darkstar picture in a big box to put under the tree. No big deal! I knew what I was signing up for when I put in my order. Then, I opened my email and saw that my order had shipped. SPECTACULAR!!! Thank you, Tim, Jackie, et al. Looking...

We had a cow named Millie... Millie Dindin.

Hope you don’t get sent home Prematurely!

I believe it’s gone. See post 21 ”Hey y'all, Sorry for the chaos, I'm still getting used to the layout of TRF. At this point, these items have not been spoken for: 2x 7.51-75mm centering rings 3x 3” FG bulkplates 1x 3” black FG BP. 1x 4” ply BP 1x 3” Estes 3” PNC“

I am working on my first formula characterization with ProPEP 3, but I can't find two chemicals. I think I found Tepanol (or HX-878) (0.4%) the first time I added the chemicals, but I can't find it now. I also haven't been able to find Lecithin (0.2%). Perhaps at a total of 0.6%, it's not a big...

Thanks. So, does it make sense for me to have #15 through 19 (maybe just 18) so I can go up or down two from 16? OR, do I need a broader range? I'm going an hour north to test motors with Al where it will be easier to trouble shoot if things don't go as planned. So, I'd like to be prepared (not...

I got my graphite from Dan Patell last summer, but he got it from the Graphite Store. Granted I was only working on a 29-mm nozzle, but I couldn't have been happier with how the vacuum graphite pre-filter worked. Someone posted a link this link...

Hi folks, Last summer, John D. offered to help me look at a lathe and later he introduced me to a friend Al as a lathe mentor. Al lives an hour or so north and is now the closest high-power/EX rocketeer that I know of. Al suggested I pick up an FE Reed lathe circa 1900 from a couple hours...

This may not be it, but it is close: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:39519

I’d be interested in the (what look to be) casting tubes and nozzles (with some information), but not the whole “lot.”

+1 The probability of me losing a rocket is directly proportional to the time I spend painting it.

That Art Applewhite Dragonfly monocopter also has a lot of flights on it. I don't know what to do now. It flies really well on an A9-4. I usually get my black powder motors from AC Supply, but when i placed my last order they said the A9-4 was discontinued.

Silly me. I just looked closer. The sticker says, " Your Free Kit. Thank you for your order."

I love all the Edmunds kits. I should post a wanted note for any and all. Here's a photo of a Gyroc I built from Jim Z's plan's 13 or 14 years ago. It's got lots of flights, in fact the hinges have been replaced lots.

Hey Troj, I'd love the Edmonds Tinee for $10. I'll send a PM. The first rocket I remember building was the Gyroc, but I'd build it, and somebody should probably collect it. Does it have a price? It was probably $3.50 back in the day. Thanks, Matt

Changed my avatar from photos given to me by John Sicker of my 3x Orbital Transport from LDRS XXXI (Potter, NY 2012). Thank you SO much, John!

So, I’ve been working on my shop (rocket barn) for the last few years. It sits on a pad and the water would come under the sill when it rained hard or when the snow was melting, so two years ago, I took off the bottom few boards to run ice and water shield covered by flashing up the walls and...

I use the 24 to 29mm adapter quite often with CTI motors. They work great! It just takes a little work with a Dremel so that the front of the motor can fit through the front of the adapter. I also sand (grind) off the bottom of the motor closure. The bottom of the adapter gets charred a little...
