First off thanks to Dragon64 for the .stl files and modifying the nosecone to fit my build platform. You can find Dragon's original build thread here here and the Thingiverse files here. This is a BT60 / 24mm based downscale of the QU8K rocket, further details here. I'm calling this a...

Hi all, is anyone lucky enough to own a set of the original Beta Big Bertha decals? I have the scanned image of them from JimZ but I need to know the dimensions of the sheet before I can send them off to be printed. Muchos gracias.

Hi all, I haven't posted a build thread for a number of years so it's about time I pulled my finger out and got one done. I scored a couple of the v2 Big Daddy kits on eBay a while back and the plan is to finish one in the original black, yellow & red livery and the other in the re-released...

Hi all, I'm off to pick up a little Ebay haul tomorrow. The guy selling it doesn't really know anything about rocketry but in one of the pictures I was shown, I spotted instructions for a kit I don't recognise so I wondered if you wonderful lot could shed some light. Thanks!

I was opening a couple packs of C6-5's earlier to top my launch box up and noticed that the motors were physically different. One pack had the usual 'grey' nozzles that I'm used to but the others were completely white. They are also filled to different levels despite both being the same engine...

Hi all, I was clearing some stuff out and came across a launch controller project that I started a while back but never finished and I'd like to get it done. I did have plans a friend drew up for me on how to wire this thing up but I've since lost them. I'ts nothing special, just a single pad...

Does anyone have a copy of the original decals that came with the BSD Horizon kit that they could share please? Looking to downscale it. Thanks

I'm looking to find the following OOP kits by Estes & Quest. After failing to get feedback from either manufacturer on where to source them I thought i'd try here. Estes; Big Daddy (Orig One) Fat Boy Tidal Wave Quest; Big Rage

I'm after a Mini DV cam for a project of mine. Must have a memory card slot, have a mic and weigh less than 100g Something I can afford to loose please :p

After a year or so out of rocketry, I am happy to announce my resurrection to TRF! I've got plenty of big projects planned for this year and I cant wait to place my first rocketry order for a long time and get me some shiny goodies :) Look forward to seeing y'all around again :D

Does anyone know of a reliable way to light upto 3 AP motors (F20's) in the UK? I know we can't get Quickburst's over here or they would be first choice. Normal E-Matches wont fit in the C slot, are there any alternative "Igniterman" dip kits? Regards, Karl

Finally got this project finished ... It's been sitting around now for quite a while ... The name is from the 80's band Madness, who sung a song called 'Love Struck'. Here's some specs : Airframe : 2.15" PML Phenolic Nosecone : PML 2.15" Nosecone Length : 68.3mm Motor Mount : 29mm Fins...

Just got access to tools & materials I usually wouldn't so for as long as it lasts I'm starting a small business. Drop me a PM if you need made to order parts. I will eventually get round to making a small catalogue....If this goes anywhere I will also bring some stock to rocket events...

Well at the last club meeting I attempted to fly my Semroc Hydra 7 on 2x C6-0's and a C6-5. The C6-0's went in the plugged motor tubes, and the C6-5 in the central open motor tube. The rocket tore off the pad, perfect flight! Until the time came to eject the laundry. The rocket arched...

Well the end of my exam term is cooling down with only two left. So I thought I would get cracking on the two XPrize kits I bought a couple of months back. Ok I admit it, I don't keep kits, kits for long! First up with have the Space Ship 1, this seems to be very popular on TRF. Here's my...

I've just been looking at a picture that Rob House took at UKRA06. They are of my 3" Diablo on a SU G80-7T. In this picture, note the blue flame which isn't usually noticeable on the smaller Blue Thunder motors. But look at the blue 'halo' around the bottom of the rocket. Sorry, with this...

I've just been watching the 'Wild And Weird Rockets' that aired on the Discovery Channel and I noticed that the opening to the program is a rock version of 'Somewhere over the rainbow' Does anyone have anymore details on who sings this? Regards, Karl

Right I have 4" by about 6ft long rocket that I am planning to fly this weekend. It needs quite abit of reinforcement, despite the fact that it's all Phenolic. It's a Dual Deployment rocket and in the past, I've had problems with ejection charges shattering the airframe if they sit against...

UKRA Is getting close guys, a week tomorrow! Got anything big and special planned? I have my Level 2 to do. Karl
