My L1 Optima Clone and 4" L2 are both Blutetube. As are several other rockets. I have a BT av-bay in the 4", and a 2.6" av bay in another rocket. Also a 2.2" BT av bay I use in a LOC rocket. I've never had an issue filing a rocket together, nor a deployment issue. I do notice the LOC...

well, to get it off the O waving.... LPR options- E20W Loki G80LW gives a nice big flame for a little motor- moving up to a AT 29/360 case H268R/ I200W A 4" rocket on a J500G. Much more impressive in person. An I600R, Damn impressive I. And a J510W....this thing kicks... I think long...

K1100T was a wild ride on my 3"DS. Something tells me you'll go much faster and higher.

From an occupied building, not necessarily under your control, unless I'm mistaken ;) A cool/ weird idea for a national launch site, would be a Build Barn workshop style setup, with lockers people could rent. Fly out to wherever this is, take an uber to the donkey rental, ride a donkey out...

My dream is a launch facility sized for I motors, 2-3 permanent pads , a camera array to record launches all setup in a permanent launch structure, with a tracking station, and a truck setup for tracking as well. No setup. no teardown. Just go and launch. Oh and a flush crapper.

We've seen that happen in other sports...yes. However in those cases, the Tips are designed to cause more damage and advertised as such. They're chosen to be dangerous. In our sport, metal tips are not advertised nor designed to cause damage. It's a simple way to solve a lot of building...

Is it a good idea? probably not. Would it be sweet to have a massive space with really really really cool permanent launch fixtures? Hell yes. A mecca of rocketry would be badass. But I think a private owner would be more likely than a club or organization getting land.

Considering an Alpha III will penetrate 1/2" plywood... and materials like fiberglass and carbon fiber are really really strong (in highly technical terms) Basically anything we put in the air will kill you and destroy whatever it hits. Banning one material or another is absolutely pointless.

No TRA members available to respond ;)

Telling Tim directly in the past has elicited replies like "we're not for people like you"

the easiest way is to apply for a job with nasa or space X...

oddly, I can't find anything on the "super dark interwebz" on how to buy these...

bondo spot putty and tons of sandpaper. or 14 layers of primer filler.....and basically sand it all back off.

My first attempt at G76's was not a success- The second was.... barely... If you do it, long long long ignitor leads are a good idea. if one motor takes off, it'll rip the other igniter out as the rocket lifts off if you anchor them normally. Personally, you can't beat two G80T's for...

Buddy is an expert on D-bags, and has unrivaled experience.

That is all true.... however, practicality comes into play. When he's saying 1911's suck because they're heavy and have a low capacity.... then goes " SW .500!" Well, I'm gonna just stand there and look stunned. Sure, it'll hit super hard....and if you're out hunting elephants Ill give you...

I'm sure its a good time.... but 300 rounds is an afternoon with a .45 Liking big calibers is cool.... but I mean.... what the hell are they for?

at $10/ box for 9, and $20 for .45, I'm looking to pick up a 9. I like the way glocks feel in my hand.... and the trigger isn't terrible.... but something about the entire experience of shooting it is.... boring. I'm probably going to pick up a G19 and play with it some. Also the idea...

Well.... yea its not cheap. Kinda the point. I've shot my wife's glock 23. It was like drinking room temp water. What don't I like? Well there's a reason most SW 500's come used with a box of 49 rounds....
