So I couldn’t get my JLCR to keep my parachute bundle closed no matter how I packed, even with just moderate shaking and pulling my packjob would start to slip and as slippery as the fabric is it would eventually come all apart. Being familiar with the violence of falling objects (skydiver and...

I have two ripstop parachutes to sell. 1. 36” pink- purpleish LOC, never unpacked came with a LOC kit. I believe it’s a flat 10 line low porosity 1.9oz (fabric weight/sqyd) standard loc chute. $10 2. 36” half red half white Rocketman, never used. Standard “parabolic” 4 line 1.1oz (fabric...

I’m a noob to duel deployment. It was suggested that to save space on the bulkheads of my 38mm AV bay that I place the charges in the body tubes. Since I’m using pyrodex, (I know I know and will try to get the good stuff at the festival), I encased charges in plastic blood tubes as shown below...

Does anyone have any tips for tweaking open rocket for modelling plane-type rockets like the Estes Conquest. I'm building this rocket and wondering if I can sim accurately assuming I get the proper drag points. It's difficult given the multiple bends in the "fins" and wide drag points like the...

Aerotech 24/40 and/or Cesaroni Tech 24mm If you have something to sell, let me know! Blue Skies, Craig

This is my first high power and dual deploy capable rocket. It should do well on hobby line reloads and any H or I site permitting. Please jump in if you see something dangerous or questionable. I'm on TRF to learn and participate in the community. Thanks!

I’m cringing as my wife is balancing the accounts and keeps asking about this and that... “what is this charge for Featherweight... what’s eggtimer... oh here’s another one for erockets, Mach1?!!!!...” The tension builds as I know there’s some more. If you have a good rocketry store and...

Excited for a robust little fiberglass model rocket I purchased a BT50 black brant kit from Mach 1.

Hello, I have a couple of Mach1 kits started and they came with micro and mini rail buttons. These work with makerbeam/openbeam and 20mmx20mm beam. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a place where I can get a 6' section of the makerbeam and the 20mm beam for the mini buttons. The only webstores I...

Hello, I am beginning work on my first fiberglass, dual deployment, mid to high-power rocket and am doing my best to research everything prior to making build decisions. Putting my plans (albeit rough at this point) into open rocket I have found this rocket kit (MACH 1 Alien Interceptor) to...

I’m building my first fiberglass kit (MACH1 Alien Interceptor) and looking for advice to correct a bent fin. Dry fitting the parts I found one fin wouldn’t slot; looked it down the edge to find it warped by 1.5mm each end when flat along the root chord, and a little bit along the span. I can...

Anyone have one of the AeroTech 18/20 cases they'd be willing to sell me? I have some of the reloads and no case to fly them in. Let me know thank you! Craig
