We did a home brew build of several Apogee Aspire kits using a AeroTech G125, G80NT, G79W and a few G75Ms. Without severe reinforcement the rockets broke up. We got 2 back of 6 rockets. Top speed was on the AeroTech G125 - 1850 km/h..... stupid fast. G75M got the rockets to 1338 km/h. The best...

No commercial sale of ignitor dip is yet legal for use in Canada BTW. No on the ERD authorized list.

I have been working UBlox Generation 9 GNSS receiver modules and I'm hoping to send one up in the fall on the AstroBee 3" kit rocket.

Welcome! I'm in Saanich. We spoke over email already. ;);):)

I'm a sport shooter as well, up in Canada.

TC has issued a low ceiling alert stopping all launch activities. The forecast has been upgraded and the weather is too unstable for what is required for the launch. My appologies for the back and forth information.

Ready to launch. The weather is improving today and we'll have the right conditions today.

Allandale launch kick off will occur in Colwood BC, at the old Allandale quarry location at noon on Saturday, October 5th. We have 12 rockets launching on a variety of motors. So far, the weather is forecasted to be promising for a launch. If you are in area, please feel to stop by.

If the weather holds off for Saturday, October 5th then we'll be good to go. Spoke with the construction company operating in the quarry area and as long as they aren't operating then its golden. TriX doesn't operate on the weekend. More information later.

Do you have your own launcher?

Of course. I have 6 - AeroTech Fs if you need anything in the 29mm variety. So do you need a 1" rail or rod launcher?

Absolutely! Come on by.

I buy 30 gauge Nichrome all the time. Best source is Lee's Electronics in Vancouver. Great company!

I use Systems 3 Epoxy Putty and its pretty darn strong.

RunCams are very fussy on the type of microSD card they write to. Anything greater than 32GBs can be cause issues. Write speed specs are an issue as well. If memory serves me correctly it has something to do with the file system they use and the buffer onboard the camera.

True. Without an explosives permit you cannot bring back any quantity of F or higher. Then on the US you need BATFE export papers.

shouldn't be an issue. We have US and Canadian teams coming and going all the time.
