Ill just say that I am a 14 year old kid in middle school, and band has CHANGED MY LIFE. Ive been playing sax for 3 years and school band and I have met every single one of my friends through the band program. Before i came into the program i wasn't much of the social type and didn't really...

Thanks guys, that really cleared things up!

Hey All, I just acquired a few old Estes motors form a good friend, in which a found a few "upper Stage" D-12 7s, the ones with the purple labels. Obviously, i assume that these motors are intended to be place on top of a booster engine as a second stage... But what makes these different from...

Woot Woot! 289856!! PS, the right cursor powers the right booster and the left coursor powers the left booster, it is possible to make minute adjustments!

Ok Guys! My Plans have changed a little! Im still going for a Big Bertha Clone, but i think im going to install a 24mm Mount instead! But BMS seems to be the only supplyer that sells a "big Bertha" Noes cone. I was wondering, what type of noes cone is that of a big bertha? Measurements...

Thanks Again! I plan to make a big order of body tubes and other miscellaneous parts from BMS, but WOW noes cones are expensive!:jaw:

Thanks for all of your replys! I was planning to just get by with a standard engine mount lenght but i think its worth it to keep it at about 10 inchs. As for Centering Rings, Im not sure exactly what i will do, I think i may just order some! One more question, I know the Big Bertha is...

Hey All I plan to attempt my first clone, a Big Bertha, and have noticed that the Bertha comes with what appears to be a 9 inch motor mount. I plan to launch on 18m motors and was just wondering if there was a reason for the extended mtm, and if it is necessary. Oh, and i was also...

Hey all!!!! I will be moving to Greenville on account of the AVX plant relocating (My step dad works there, not me, im 13!) And i was wondering, is there any good places for rockets up there in the upstate!!!! I know there is a club called PARSEC in the area, but i believe that they lost...

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but i have another question!!!!!!! Would it be possible to stage a 18m booster to a 13mm motor in an 18mm casing (using the 18mm casing as an adapter)?

I was actually just about to ask about that, there is only about half a cm between the inner edge and outer edge on my templates. So i think i wall try MarkII's method!

Thank you all for all of your great ideas, i guess i wasn't really getting the idea of how to get a good template. for this project im gunna use the template from PayloadBay.com But plan to get a circle cutter soon

I do have a compass, but its very flimsy and i can't get a very good circle out of it

Hey all! I am atempting my first try at scratch building a rocket, i have almost completed it, except i am having a terrible time making centering rings for it. My body tube is a paper rolled tube with an unknown origin. I believe it has about a 1 inch outer diameter. I have tried...

Hi All Is it possible to use a quest booster engine in conjunction with an estes main engine?? or even vise versa?

I have been thinking lately of all of the uses for spent motor casings. And have decided to make a thread to see how many we can come up with. Ill start! 1. Motor Adapters 2. Engine Blocks PS. Make sure you number your post!!!:)

Thank you for all of your replys, i had seen many pictures of ignition systems but never really understood what they were accomplishing! As soon as i am able to i plan to order some Flis Kit Micros and some motors. Cant Wait!!:)

Hey everyone! I have been wanting to get into mmx for a long time but have been very hesitant. I have been trying to do as much research on the topic as possible. My main issue is getting a reliable launch system set up. I know how to set up a mmx rod onto my existing rod, but my real problem...
