Team - long time to chat.. life gets in the way, yadda yadda... I finally bit, and bought myself a 3d printer, so I am working on lots of CAD fun with Fusion 360.. I am looking to make some sleds for my Eggfinder Minis, Eggtimer Quantum's and RRC3.. Here's the ask: does anyone have decent 3d...

Stumbled upon this tonight.. How long before our GPS trackers tell you where your rocket is with three.words.only: For what it is worth, our rocket field is at ///belong.twilight.hallmarks https://w3w.co/belong.twilight.hallmarks

Just discovered these guys and figured I’d share. Apologies if it’s done the rounds already.

Folks, I am finishing up a 2.6" Madcow BB FG build, I have sanded both the ID of the BT and the OD of the NC shoulder such that the NC slips in without slop, but I have noticed that the NC fit is tight, and prone to binding unless removed extremely straightly... I am concerned about over sanding...

Great to see my Local Rocketry Vendor (LRV) making the news! Way to go Blake! https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-11-21/queensland-commercial-rocket-launch-race-for-space/10518750?pfmredir=sm Queensland's bid to become the next big player in Australia's push to build a local space industry has...

I was just thinking about alignment keys and other such things and it dawned on me - what if I intentionally slanted the switchband (and matching tube ends) to make something like this: Other than the tubes and switchband possibly being a pain in the A$$ to cut, and the ebay having limited...

Hoping someone has figured this out already (or @cerving is loitering somewhere...) What’s best practice if I have two efminis for different rockets and want to be able to fly them both same day; so I set them to different frequencies (and is there a way to change the receiver Chanel easily...

Watched this and it gave me all sorts of crazy vibes of: I MUST TRY THIS ON A ROCKET!! “Adam goes back to his roots as a spaceship modelmaker in this week's build, using scratch-building and kit-bashing to make a scale model inspired by a piece of art by the legendary Jean "Moebius" Giraud...

From New Scientist: https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg24032033-300-the-first-detailed-look-at-how-elon-musks-space-internet-could-work/ The first detailed look at how Elon Musk’s space internet could work By Douglas Heaven IT IS no secret that Elon Musk wants to build a space internet...

Just a friendly post to flag my experiences thus far with RunCam2.. Bought mine back in March on Amazon (before Amazon had a GST Tantrum and refused to ship to AU from overseas now). Main reasons for choosing this over other cameras people have listed was: It was "designed" for flight. I...

Firstly, let me say, when my LRV suggested g10 instead of ply, I should have listened. First mistake. Deadpool flew perfectly on it’s second flight and the dual deploy worked exactly as it should have. Only problem was, it found two cars on the road to the launch site as this was a public...

I’ve been struggling with 15min epoxy to mix, load and dispense quickly enough using syringes. It’s also been very wasteful as you reach a point where you are getting more air than epoxy when trying to draw it up into a syringe. Also, with my current project being the first time I’ve injected...

Team, what is the conventional wisdom for a method to either round or bevel the Leading/Trailing edge of a thin (1.6mm/0.06299in) G10 fin? I can just use a sanding sponge, or a sheet of sandpaper, but before I do, I was wanting to hear about what others have done... I have seen the router/disc...

Started construction on my first FG kit tonight. I’ve been putting it off for a few weeks - the thought of working with FG and having to worry about the dust was annoying me. But I bit the bullet this evening. All parts washed and dried yesterday, and I did a dry fit. MMT assembly was the...

Pondering on my next Superhero build now that I have finished building my Deadpool Rocket. I had an idea a while back for an LPR/MPR Incredible Hulk rocket that was short, fat and tapered down from a broad BT to a thinner MMT/Fincan... My son decided he didn't want the Hulk, so we painted it up...

Build thread here: https://www.rocketryforum.com/threads/new-102mm-project-chimichunga-i.145203/ Problem: CNC cut fins arrived warped from my LRV... Given they are all warped the same way, I’m guessing they were left against something after they were cut in heat/humidity maybe? Question...

Wondering if anyone can give me guidance on just how much thread is needed for secure MMT attachment? This is for my 4” deadpool (38mm).. https://www.rocketryforum.com/threads/new-102mm-project-chimichunga-i.145203/ I was pondering doubling the front MMT CR but I’m now thinking it might not...

Anyone know what the appropriate method is to flag posts that are obvious spam/crap? I looked, but nothing jumped out and bit me on the nose...
