Thanks. Forgot I also have a Bandit VXL and Mini Losi Rally. 1 of my Jato's is bone stock and the other was custom built from the frame to be off-road. That one is a monster. My Revo 3.3 is a workhorse but needs to be worked on. My kids drive theirs more than I drive mine. Sent from my...

I have RC. 2 Jato's, Revo 3.3, Mini Revo, Losi8T, HPI D8S, HPI WRX FLUX and a few more that I forgot the names of. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I use a drop of CA on the Kevlar and then cut it normally. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Hi Steve, you are right and I was wrong. I got my wires crossed in my mind. I have a 38mm rocket that I am working on as well as for some reason was thinking about that one when I was crossing referencing motor types before posting. I will be using an I motor more than likely for my L1 on this...

I know, I was on the fence between MPR/HPR. With the smallest 54mm motor I could find it was in the MPR impulse range. I will probably try to get my L1 with this one this fall. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Cool. I like the super simple options. Makes sense. I guess the 54mm motors have some sort of flange to keep the rocket from blowing up through the tube right? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Sweet chrome job. What did you use? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I would think unless Kevlar is abused or under high heat/UV conditions it would be stable for many, many years. Probably best to contact manufacture and see about shelf life. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Certainly, I was looking at the largest possible perimeter for worst case. And then will pull it back for a more conservative field. I will do some sim work but a good heavy rocket should be safe on a f motor. Assuming low wind conditions. Will test it out on some LPR's first and see what I get...

It would be all LPR/MPR aside from the possibility of L1 cert testing on an H motor. Not sure this is possible here, but will model it out. So, I updated the site map and include a circle plus radial line indicating a radial launch zone assuming 0 degree launch angle. We would be using...

Matt You have way more experience than I do with Rockets, but having used LiPo batteries in RC for a long time everyone is giving you sound advice on the voltages. Here is what I use to test and check my LiPo's. It will balance them as well, if you leave it on for a long time. I tend to...

In my area it is hard to find a site large enough to launch rockets on anything bigger than B/C anymore. I used to have a great site but it was purchased by the town and turned into a "Park Reserve" which strictly prohibits the use of rocketry. They are concerned it could hurt the "flora and...

Any recommendation for a motor retention system for the 54mm motor tube? I want to buy one and dry fit first before I start epoxying the motor tube and rings in place. The tail end tolerance looks slim and do not want to have a bunch of tube sticking out if I can avoid it. Thanks, Jarod...

Very nice. Great looking rockets you go there. When's the launch date? Get it? Date / girlfriend. LOL. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

LOL. Holly I'm afraid. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

My daughter and I finished up the Mini Cowabunga. Shout out to Mark @ stickershock23.com on the cow print decals. Jarod Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Hi Kurt, I honestly don't know if this is a "true metallic" paint. It is listed at pearl. I don't see any mention of it being metallic. I do know that some "metallic" paints do not use real metal flakes. Without contacting Dupli, it would be a just a case. In my case. The nose cone is for a...

Dupli Color Chrysler Black Pearl. Looks even better in real life. The iPhone struggled getting the white balance right. It has a very deep look to it and has a ton of sparkle in the light. I have pretty much switched to Dupli Color car paints. They work very well and I can prime, sand spray...
