    QCRC Election Invalid

    Good morning everyone. After a review by the board it was determined that the club bylaws were breached in the election process by not providing a mail-in or an in-person option for members to vote as only an electronic option was given. The board has decided that this makes the election invalid...

    Spherachutes

    So going off of the repeated high praises I've seen on here for spherachutes i decided to buy their parachutes for my project. I ordered a 120" and a 36" yesterday and I got a email today saying they are in the mail! That's amazing I spoke to Julie on the phone right before I placed my order and...

    Redundant main location

Right now my rocket has a dual chute system with the drouge in the lower fin airframe section and the main above the avionics bay in a payload bay under the nosecone. I have a chute release that I thought might be good for a...

    Dumb question

    Okay so this is probably a dumb question but I'm gonna ask it anyway at the risk of sounding incredibly foolish. My tac-1 parachute has a pilot chute loop at the top of the canopy. Can I attach another parachute to it that is larger than a normal pilot chute to get a slower descent rate?

    The N10,000 question

    So this motor is crazy I've watched a few videos of rockets flying on these many of the rockets blow apart. Does this happens because the motor just tends to be unstable and the motor comes apart? Or is it because the rocket itself can't withstand the G force causing the airframe to fail...

    Ultimate Wildman questions

    So I just ordered the ultimate Wildman kit. Tim and Jason from QCRS helped me complete my level one and level two certification at Midwest power a few weeks ago. I bought the Wildman to be my level 3 rocket. I have some questions and will certainly have more once I get hold of the kit hopefully...
