    NSL 2024: A 24" Diameter 1/6th SpaceX Dragon Pad Abort Test

    I am very excited to announce an exceptionally cool project that @jpoehlman and I are working on together. Some may know that I happen to have an affinity for short and fat rockets. A couple years ago I started progress toward a 1/6th scale Falcon 9. Turns out, that is very hard. At over 38ft...

    Bryce's Handicap Record Quest: NSL 2024

    I’m excited to share and document the progress and plans for one of my most ambitious projects. For over a decade I’ve been enthralled with the idea of setting an official altitude record in rocketry. I’ve watched performance titans like Curt von Delius, Adrian Adamson, and Jim Jarvis push the...

    Project Sasquatch (24" diameter Madcow Squat)

    Introduction: Nine years ago (2014), I earned my Level 3 certification on a 5x upscale Madcow Rocketry Squat. Since witnessing my first Squat fly at LDRS 29 (infamously), I've been enamored by their goofy aspect ratio. Over the last 15 years, I've built big ones, little ones, grass-covered...

    Found 6 inch (150mm) motor hardware

    Looking to try mixing my first 6inch motor this season and wanted to put feelers out for any used 6 inch motor hardware. I've got some 1/4" wall tube and some ARR casting sets that I'd like to use, but I am not really picky. If anyone has some retaining rings, forward closures, nozzles they'd be...

    Bowling Ball Lofting Records?

    I HIGHLY doubt Mark is still accepting bowling ball lofting record submissions to https://www.ahpra.org/BBrecord.htm but I had some fun accidentally setting a couple new records on a flight last November. I sent an email with all the requisite forms, but either Mark has a new email, or he's not...

    Looking for AMRAAM (AIM-120) Scale Data

    Most NAR competition stuff doesn’t interest me, but I’ve been toying around with the idea of building a decent size scale model to try out at a Sport Scale level of competition. While a half-scale of the 7”x12ft sounds pretty reasonable, I couldn’t help staring at my pile of 7.5” body tube and...

    A Optical Rocket Tracking Platform Project

    So this is a project that I have had bouncing around in my head for a while, and now after completing another large arduino based electronics project, I think I might know enough to start making progress toward this. But before I start, I need to know a little more about what I don't know so...

    Breaking a launch pad

    Does anyone have any videos or pictures of launch pad failures? Particularly I am imagining some Vmax or Warp9 motors being just a little too much for the pad to handle. Thanks
