Hi all, been a long time since I've posted. I needed a project to keep the ol' gray matter pliable, so I designed a data logging flight controller. It reads acceleration, absolute air pressure and temperature (haven't added the temp sensor yet). The circuit is built around a Microchip...

I posted this rocket on yorf when I built it. Had a chance to fly it today, and it flies very well on a D12-5. Nearly straight up and it waggled it's tail a little after burnout. I got a video, but it's very poor. The shroud between the body tube and the motor got a little scorched by hot...

Haven't posted a build for a while. Here's my quest Zenith II. Pretty standard LPR stuff. Parts: Fins and paper cut out for covering: Motor mount: Sub-assemblies: I dipped the payload section in Future to clean up the scratches::

New kits are arriving at WalMart. Only checked one so far, they had the Crossbow, Richochet and I think, the Taser Twin. I think I'll leave out the engine hook, so I leave off the exterior retaining ring. Here it is, note the white parachute and the crazy large bag for the motor block. The...

Got a few painted, many more to come. Another '65 Bertha, a "3 hole" Bertha, Betty and a Grissom without the extra hardware.

What kinds of clearcoat can I use over Microscale Liquid Decal Film (MI-12)? I usually clearcoat with Testors lacquer or Krylon enamel. Any experience?

I got the Brighton during the Semroc Christmas Sale. I think Carl challenged himself to see if he could use one of each Semroc part number in a kit. :D It's a great quality, easy to build kit. I used all epoxy on this one. Paint will happen when the weather breaks.

Since my tryptophan induced haze has me too lazy to do anything else, it seems like a good time to post some new stuff. Scratch built 13mm gap staged. I hope Estes is serious about the A10-0 thing: A BT-60 13mm fueled Fat Boy: And an Alpha, I can't bring myself to put the...

Pressurized rover in testing. https://www.reuters.com/article/scienceNews/idUSTRE49O04620081026

I'm a casual MotoGP fan, so I jumped at the chance see one in my "back yard" !:D The Mrs. got us great seats overlooking turns 1 through 5. I know there are a few bike racing fans on the board, so this is for you. The same storm that knocked out TRF spent the day with us in Indy, but it...

Got my certificate today. Thanks Vern, Gleda and Semroc!

Summary Been a long time since I've flown anything. The day was nice and I'm on vacation Commentary Flew AP for the first time. The D15 wakes up the Big Daddy. The D21 REALLY wakes up the Exoskell. Lot's of other glorious flights. My "lighting rod"...

So, I'm waiting on some motors and stuff from Quest and I see this: Looks like no motors this weekend!

I keep getting this error when I go to Quest's site: If I root around in the bowels of my P.C. and delete all the cookies from Quest it will work for a while but after some time I get the message again. If I click on the link it I just get the same screen. Any Ideas?

The first ones to come were friendly... This time, not so much. Built a Zooch Titan IIIC, tossed the vaguely hexagonal shaped piece of yellow garbage where it belongs and added a fliskits parachute. Here's a vid: <object width="425" height="344"><param...

I have the decals I just need fin templates. If I have to do it myself, I'll post it here and at EMRR. Thanks.

Regard the postion of the flags in the center of this photo taken out of my office window. :rolleyes:

I see a lot of posts inquiring as to the status of various web sites. I found this link helpful. Enjoy. https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/

Stumbled on this site. Clear, close-up photos of some historic space hardware. https://historicspacecraft.com/index.html

I got to go fly with the AMOREA club in Indianapolis this weekend. What started as an ambiguous weather forcast turned into a great day, and my first chance to fly with others since I got back into the hobby. I got to meat heada, conleyt, evil ed and a bunch of guys named Steve. Nice guys one...
