    Pit Bull - 2.56 Kit / 38mm Retainer / 38 to 29 adapter

    Hello everyone. Staying busy with fixed wing and FPV Drones. I was going to dabble in rocketry, but no time. PitBull has been opened to check parts and resealed. I'm 53 and very careful so there will be no missing mystery items. Also have HAMR 38mm Retainer with the 38/29 mm adapter. I'm in...

    Awesome post. As a new guy, or a new MPR heading for HPR, I appreciate your take.....especially motor perceptions.

    I agree with everyone. That's why I was looking for a fair deal versus the cheapest price. I'm new and I need some intelligent advice, not SALES advice. Chris appears to have a stellar reputation so the answer is easy here.

    PML AGM 256 Pitbull. Please take pity on the BAR and help

    I was really trying to understand how to select motors based on profiles, etc. I needed accurate info on the rocket to try and have accurate sims. Now Im trying to understand what the sims are telling me.

    thanks Chris. I'll shoot you a PM and then run you down at Manchester. I'll talk your ear off but I make a really good bag boy.

    Actually, this is tied in to my foray in to An MPR build designed for F,G and H motors. I wanted the cases in advance as part of the fiddling process while building. I need MPR experience before going after L1. That said, I'll be heading to Manchester on May 28 just to watch, learn and ask...

    Vendors with a selection of motor cases and sets?

    Can I have some recommendations as to where people are purchasing motor cases and motor sets that are fairly priced? I just don't see them stocked at many vendors. And I'm not looking to steal them or beat someone down to wholesale but 1.5 times retail is brutal. I'm looking for Aerotech...

    PML AGM 256 Pitbull. Please take pity on the BAR and help

    K, sincerest thanks. You didn't have to do this. While I am beyond grateful for everyone's experience and assistance here, I do not come here with the expectation that I can lounge while others kill themselves to aid me. Again, thank you ! The comment above was my attempt at humor. Not worthy...

    PML AGM 256 Pitbull. Please take pity on the BAR and help

    AFTER I did this, I reread your post. I have measurements good to +/- 1mm. That said, I think that my problem here is that I am not familiar enough with OR to understand exactly what needs to be input. I assumed after a mere cursory glance that I could just plug in or plot dimensions. This is...

    OK, I'm with you. Can I just dry fit fins in to Boat Tail, with engine mount installed, then take measurements from it?

    OK, this might be one of those moments reflecting upon historical life choices. Disclaimer - The OP publically admits that he should have spent a little more time learning to fondle his abacus and slide rule......and a little less time testing recreational substances. You were right, dad...

    Yup...another BAR

    K'Tesh, I know that you have forgotten more about rocketry than I know. Still, I couldn't help but notice an error in your equation. It fails to take in to account the variable D, for disposable income. In rocketry you must ALWAYS use D =/< 0(Nil). Please correct this immediately before...

    Yup...another BAR

    Welcome ! I too am a brand new BAR around here. After a multiple decade hiatus, I have returned. And my head hurts from all of the this info. I am about to start building my first MPR/LVL 1. I am taking my time. My recommendation is to get out and fly some cheapie LPRs. I couldn't believe...
