    BARCLONE Download Question

    Can anyone advise how to download BARCLONE's RKT- Rocksim files? It has been a few years since I've downloaded from that site and I can't seem to figure out how it works. In the past I downloaded via link under "Save Target As" but appears no longer the option. I just get the file code. Thanks...

    Saturday June, 16.

    If anyone here finds themselves winging their way through western Kansas, drop in for our launch day. This is the first launch we've had in years as a result of weather or other factors and this year's crop has potential... I think we'll have 15-25 kids launching this year. Stop by and lend...

    Q2G2 Igniters

    Hey Guys, I’ve been out of circulation for a few years for various reasons ( mostly health) and this year I’m relaunching my program. I noticed while restocking my supplies I have been having a tough time locating Q2G2s. I’d read that Quest was having supply issues in 2016 and was wondering if...

    Looking For A Website

    There was a website that had all of these great templates for transitions,fin alignments, and the like and since I've switched my system to Linux, that was one of the bookmarks that didn't migrate. I'm also looking for the site that had the archive for ORK and Rocksim files of just about every...

    Increase In Interest?

    Has anyone noted an increase in interest in rocketry by younger folks in the wake of the Falcon Heavy launch and other emerging space news? I had a discussion with someone regarding the lackluster interest that I have had with kids and rocketry and his thoughts were that recent events may be...

    I Blame Myself

    Wow, how things have changed in the past couple of years. I'm planning to build a BARCLONE Strega II and have been hunting stuff for it in all my "go to" places and most have either disappeared or scaled back what they offered considerably. Gord is still turning nose cones, right? This is what...

    Clear BT 55?

    Who still carries these? I checked all of my old sources and have not came across them. I have some clear fluorescent light covers, but they seem too big even if I shim them. I dunno, maybe I should look at that again. Thanks for your time Steve

    Good beginner's glider rocket?

    I was planning to use the Edmond's CiCi for a class, but have discovered that they have been discontinued. Any suggestions on an alternate that would be suitable for a beginner's class and along the same design as the CiCi? Thanks for your time! Steve

    Crayon Decals?

    One of the kids in my rocketry group wants to finish her rocket as a crayon any of the custom decal guys make these or anyone know if there any other source for a set? If it's the rocket that I think it is, she's finishing an Estes Vagabond. Thanks for your time guys. Steve

    Who still sells clear BT 50 tube stock?

    I've checked Apogee, Hobbylinc, Uncle Mikes, Estes, BMS, I haven't found any or I may have overlooked something. Anyone know who carries it? I think the last time I bought some it was from Semroc. Thanks for your time Steve

    Figuring Effective Rigging Line Length

    Okay, I was trying out this formula for clustering chutes using the parameters used in the example and I keep coming up short. According to the text the formula is ERL= Square root of number of chutes times the diameter of the chute. As an example, they used square root of 3 x 12 and ERL =...

    Ideas Please

    Here is the design. I need the quad 24mm to provide enough lift to reach the desired altitude to accomplish what I want to do. (collect airborne bacteria at high altitudes) However, as you can see from the sim flights that breaking below 29mph at deployment is tough. I did it once, but it, I'm...

    Sentimental Journey

    I pulled these from our collection a few years ago among others, including Tom Swift and His Rocketship. Anyone else read these as a kid? The Goddard book was copyrighted in 1966 the Seuss book originally in 1959 and then revised in 1971.

    Ejection Charge Pressure

    Anyone know how may pounds of pressure an ejection charge for a D or E BP motor generates or can direct me to an information source? I would like to get an idea just how snug my payload bay connection to my main tube needs to be. I've blown it out by blowing through the tube with minimal effort...
