    Time between motor build and launch?

    So, I built up a few AT 75mm motors in April for a planned launch. I used one of them (M1500G), but didn't have time to use the L850W. What is the recommended best practice for storing built-up motors? And do you risk degradation of the motor in any way, e.g., due to humidity? Clearly...

    Low cost Android device for interfacing with Missileworks RTx

    I have the Missileworks RTX, and both the Bluetooth Module and LCD. Does anyone use a cheap tablet, like the Amazon Fire 8 to run the app GPS Rocket Locator and for talking to the Rx? I have an iPhone and iPadPro, so this would pretty much be a single-use device just to support the RTx...

    Accident case studies

    Are there any documented accidents in high powered rocketry where spectators or rocketeers were injured, including discussion of the causes and the outcomes? As a certificated private pilot, I am well aware of the FAA and NTSB databases, e.g...

    Darkstar Ultimate

    I’ve been working on a Wildman Darkstar Ultimate for a few months and am almost ready for shakedown launch next weekend. Assembling L850W and M1500G motors. All that’s left is ground testing of deployment charges.

    Good source for 75mm Cesaroni reloads?

    I've been looking on Wildman and Chris' Rocket Supplies websites for 75mm Cesaroni reloads. Very few ever in stock. I'd like to go with Wildman since I have the club membership, but am looking for other options that have good supply of L and M motors. Eric

    Flight testing of altimeters and GPS Tx using drone

    Anyone use a drone to flight test avionics? I’m thinking of tie-wrapping my avbay sled to a drone to test my missileworks RTx, RRC3 and RRC2 setup.

    Nosecone advice for Wildman Darkstar Ultimate

    I am making good progress on my Darkstar Ultimate, but have a few questions. While there are lots of Wildman Ultimate build threads on the forum, very few show details about the nosecone. The nosecone assembly consists of a beautiful 6:1 Karman fiberglass nosecone, a fiberglass coupler, and a...
