I have had no problems after dozens of launches with the wading burning. Maybe you didn’t use enough baking soda. Good luck

Where is the exact location of the mobius camera as I have the same mount but unsure where exactly the best spot will be. I was thinking above the payload section since mine is fixed and ejects the tail and the nose cone for dual deployment. The middle stays together.

I have a 1/4" scale Patriot missal that increased in size and added dual deployment and I have a 3" Sudden Rush...my question, where do I mount the camera ie on the middle section of the deployment that never releases? Or do I mount near the CG? Thanks for your input

Their site is taking orders with PayPal as your source of payment so they may be hanging on. I've not got that much insight into them but the product looks decent for the price. I couldn't buy a better system for the price. Used once. People moved onto a KATE system. That's way past my...

I'm not very familiar with the system but looks pretty basic. I've got a really good price for it, just not sure whether to pull the trigger or not. NE1 want to enlighten me? Thank you for your help!

That is a REALLY nice looking rocket. Well done!

I love my piston eject rockets. system is very simple and works effectively. also, you don't need wading since the piston protects the recovery from any burn. Good luck in your build and have fun!

I've ONLY built in the field as it was my understanding that the build needed to be supervised by a certified rocketeer for any L1 certification. Now that i'm certified I'll build at home close to the launch date.

Ebruce Public missiles makes a piston ejection similar to what you are doing but more refined. You may want to view their work for ideas at publicmissiles.com

I have two engines that i've been sitting on for several months. My suggestion is to keep the motor in its packaging until you are ready to launch. No need to have a ready made engine sitting in a drawer while you build your L3 rocket. Good luck!

make your own wadding. Box of baking soda Bowl big enough to hold HALF a paper towel roll Fill bowl with water and add baking soda until you can no longer get the baking soda to dissolve Insert HALF of paper towel roll and let soak for a few days. After all the water is soaked up and the paper...

I have decided NOT to paint two rockets (Sudden Rush and a modified 1/4 Scale Patriot Missile for DD) and just to launch them with prime paint. If success then they will deserve the time to paint properly. That is my wise decision of the day!

Congrats Fattbank64. Good luck on your flight.

I soldered a switch for the one/off of the dual deployment by PML. I like soldering...wish more rockets required this for DD instead of the push button

Did you buy your motor yet? That's the challenging aspect of a first HP build. Buyrocketmotors.com is a great resource for motors. Good luck on your first flight. I assume you are going for your L1 certification?

Thanks for fixing. I spoke with Jon yesterday and he is shipping orders via fedex with signature required. GOEX is $17/lb plus $42 for hazmat shipping. The price/lb is very good, but the hazmat is a killer.

THIS is the guy you want to contact. He will help you with your black powder needs so don't mess with anyone who won't sell you a LB of powder. Thanks to the person who posted this information. https://www.addictedtoblackpowder.com/ Jon Blackert 815-542-6287 [email protected]

I flew my 1/4 Scale Patriot on an I300T with a single deployment. It went downrange by about a mile (lucky just a mile), so I'm in the process of converting the rocket to a dual deployment. Here's the final original rocket after launch and before the cut down for DD. 1/4 Scale Patriot Missile...

Post launch / pre dual deployment conversion

I was going to recommend the plugged forward closure and as advised from this forum I would install the delay element so there is no gap in your forward closure to cause some type of CATO
