haha yes. Depending on setting, you'll get anywhere from 1.5 to 20 hours out of a single charge. All depends on how you use it. But definitely something to keep an eye on when comparing different lights.

Right in my wheelhouse! (I run a bike shop!) Lights have evolved by leaps and bounds in just the last 5-10 years, let alone 30! Most these days are usb rechargable, with the battery built into the unit, and throw off a crazy amount of light. The newest one to hit the market that we're all in...

Awesome flight!!

This is amazing stuff!!

Love this rocket. Looking forward to watching the build. Good luck!

I have nothing to really add to this, other than to say "hey!" to a fellow AARG member and also, good luck! Hope we can have a launch soon, last one was rained out, and this coming one might be stopped by a burn ban. Argh!

I definitely wouldn't recommend the C6 for small field launches. Love the idea of slapping a streamer on it too. I only ever pushed it that far at club launches but it was so fun to see it go. I had also cut a spill hole into the chute in hopes of keeping it out of the trees but it was a...

Hmm....that is very interesting! Thanks!

I thought for sure I had posted that I did the mid-split and flew it exactly one time at the launch last month and it performed beautifully. Maybe I just imagined I posted that haha! Anyway, it was an absolutely perfect flight but it was late in the day and I was hot and tired and didn't want...

After tree-ing and ruining the Alpha III I picked up a year ago as my first rocket to fly since I was a kid.....I kinda like the idea of picking up that new one (or a couple) to shoot off in between the bigger rockets. That was always a fun one and, man, does it go on a C6!

I don't like change!! (But I'll get used to it haha)

A $6 Apogee baffle is definitely time saved but that's a really cool design! And, as Rich points out, that dowel will provide resistance to the Aerotech red caps. (I put a layer of epoxy on the bottom side of my baffle for the same effect but I like this idea better!)

Also, because I knew no matter where I split the rocket, I was mounting the shock cord to the end of the baffle, I sunk the end of the baffle slightly into the tube coupler and added more epoxy to the top so that there was ZERO chance of it ripping out during ejection

Nah, it's just a shear pin. I built this thing with the stock lugs but I do kinda wish I had used rail buttons... As for the baffle, I bought the Apogee baffle found here...

Thought I'd give an update. I did end up splitting it in the middle and I'm really glad I did. I tried something new (to me), planned it out, looked for potential hazards and addressed them, and successfully flew and recovered the rocket. Another step towards high power rocketry and a nice...

AH! I hadn't received any notification of replies, so It's taken me a little bit to circle back. Great advice, both of y'all! Thanks! Mark, the idea of a shear pin had actually crossed my mind. Good to know I wasn't too far off track! Looks like the club launch this month is going to get...

I am (at a glacial pace) putting together a Star Orbiter and, since it's inception, have not been able to decide exactly how I want this to all go together so I thought I'd turn to the group and pick y'alls brains about it. The build is ever-so-slightly hot rodded and will mainly be...

Definitely looks good on the pad!

I broke a fin on the Star Orbiter I'm building and then managed to get CA glue all over my fingers....and it's not even 7:30....:facepalm:

Welp. Nevermind. Ordered the one off Hobbyking.
