Hi, Dies anyone know if there is a tentative METRA launch schedule yet?

The weekend an older G10 (fiberglass cloth) Performance Rocketry 5" (long version) nosecone was stepped on and crushed by a well meaning recovery person. I would like to buy one and they have not been made for a few years and I am not sure if the new heavy filament wound NCs would fit at...

Looking for Adept RAS2, Posted in yardsale: https://www.rocketryforum.com/showthread.php?122076-Adept-RAS2-recording-altimeter&p=1411450#post1411450 Thanks for looking

I have a rocket, Beater, that will be flying its 100th flight soon, possibly next month or at Red Glare. On its first flight in 1995 at RATS it used an Adept RAS2 altimeter which was lost in another rocket 10 years later. I was hoping to have one on board for its 100th flight. Does anyone...

I have been building and flying since I was 10 but can never recall having a dream about planning a rocket build before. Recenty I woke up and recalled planning modifcations to an Estes Ventris. (A rocket I had not planned on building but is cool looking). The deam involved thinking about...

Rocketry Warehouse has them at the links below, thanks!..... I am planning on doing head end deployment on a Formula 98, please let me know if you have a Switch band you are not going to use, hopefully 1 inch wide or less, (narrower the better) for 4 a inch diameter Rocketry Warehouse glass...

This is a 'before' shot of my friend's (Syclone on the forum) Wildman Extreme 'WMX' at Red Glare in April 2014. It 'ran into' some problems on its 11th flight at URRF 2 in June flying on a research tiger tail L. At URRF they are very careful about aiming rails away from the crowd, which...

I have not seen anyone post ave bay lid terminal blocks mounted this way so…here they are. This has worked well over about 10 flights, and is extremely easy to prep. The downside is the contacts get dirtier faster than conventional mounting. These small blocks may be from doghouse rocketry...

My small 4" 38 mm rocket was flown at LDRS in NY on a Kosdon 29mm motor in an 29-38mm adaptor. The rocket was lost, probably hanging in a tree and returned months later at URRF. The adaptor was not with the rocket and the URRF folks said it fell apart when they removed the motor to try to...

I am looking for a link to a thread where Crazy Jim works on an old Aerotech White Lightning Hobby line reload so it will light. I think it was a G64. I have a few of these I would like to get off the ground.

SOLD- thanks for looking. I have for sale a Slimline Motor Retainer 54 mm, the original version that uses a spiral ring to retain the motor. The retainer is bonded to the motor tube with JB Weld. The motor is retained by a metal ring that can be installed with no tools and is easily removed...

Quiz - What is different with these instructions? :)

On Sept 13, 2013, the weather in the morning was predicted to be 1 MPH. It was possible to fly very high and not outfly the park. In the picture that pole is a huge flagpole, you can see there is no wind. I got a few rockets together. One was an Estes Skywinder, modified to take a 24 mm motor...

This thread is about replacing my first AV bay I built back in 1994. The original was built in a hotel before a Battle Park launch in 1994, as a retrofit. The rocket is a 4" Cluster R Standard Arm with around 40 flights. On its last flight it landed in a water filled ditch. The old bay slides...

I am taking a road trip and I wonder if there are hobby shops between Pittman and Burlington (Cherry Hill area) NJ worth visiting. Rockets are a plus but any good browsing shop is good too, thanks.

UPDATE-BEATER WAS FOUND. It was returned to urrg at the April 2013 launch. Good luck to the others in this thread - there is hope! On Saturday morning, I lost the rocket in the picture attached, Beater, on it's 93rd flight. It has a Perfectflite HiAlt45K and a gold Kosdon 29-250 case in...

I am hoping someone can email or post a picture of a launch from Sunday, 3/20, last weekend. I think the flight was between 10:30 and 11:30 in the morning. It is my 'Viper' flown on a green M from one of the extreme rails at the away cell. It's a rocket in alternating gray and white primer, with...

Due to limited time at Kennedy Space Center, I have to choose between Lunch with an Astronaut (probably Al Worden) or the Cape Canaveral: Then & Now Tour. I do a lot of reading about the 60's+70's space program. Any feedback I can get will help me decide. It's in two weeks! Thanks!
