Hey guys, I'm teaching rocketry classes at my old elementary school. It'll be an extracurricular for the elementary students. I'll only have (4) two hour long classes for this. I'm going to spend the first day teaching about the basics of rocketry and then the second and third days building. The...

Hey, I haven't been too active in a while...kind of lost interest since I haven't been able to do much lately. However...can anyone recommend me a good, reliable file recovery software I can use to recover around 200 pictures from my camera's memory card? I uploaded them to my desktop and...

I was looking at some of Aiptek's camera todays on their website. To be specific, their higher end digital camcorders and lower to mid range HD camcorders. Now, I want to try to fit this package into a rocket using a LOC 2.6" tube, but I realize that the camcorders I was looking at are too big...

Well, this has been in the works for quite a while now. I started back in the summer of '08 and it has been fully built. I've just been too lazy to get some paint on it. I'm just now starting the build thread mainly because I forgot to make one sooner, and I thought some people might be...

Well, I went to PARA's launch today with a friend to make some qualification flights for TARC. Along with some ill fated TARC flights from other schools, I got to see a bunch of other cool flights. I also saw my first few H and I motors plus my second J motor too.:D I got some pictures of them...

I'm going to go and buy some Quickdip or Magnelite, but then I don't know what type of wire to get. I'm going to get 40 AWG nichrome from Newton's 3rd as my bridge wire, but have no clue of what to get for my leads. The igniters will be used for BP clusters, and 18mm through 29mm AP. What type...

I had a small launch with my friend for TARC plus a few other things for fun. We got a spill hole in the parachute to a size that'll get us to around 48 and calibrated the rocket to go fairly close to 750. We hit 777 on our first launch last week, then it bounced around from 760-732 from...

Ok so Cesaroni has Pro150, 98, 75, 54, and 38. Went to their website to check something out and...I saw Pro29! Since when was this out? There are no loads out for it yet though.

Is there any news on BSD?

I haven't gone very far with this for a while. Most of it has been sitting in the bag, but I did get some of the fins done. So how well will these built up fins take landing stress? Should I do anything extra to reinforce the innards of the fin?

Ok, I very well know that this is outside of the NAR's safety code.

Ok, so I downloaded Google Chrome a few weeks ago, and I love it. But then there are still times in which I use IE. A problem has been coming up ever since I downloaded Chrome. Usually, when I close a tab or window in IE, something happens and up to 30 some separate windows of IE open up. The...

Alright, so a few minutes ago, my friend called my cell. Thought it would be something quick about TARC or something, but no. Instead he told me to go outside and look towards the lighter part of the sky (?). I didn't know what he was talking about, but I went out anyway and he told me to look...

I have a D-Region Tomahawk that I've been working on for quite a while. Progress is slowly chugging on, and today I drilled a hole for a rail button. I still have to drill another hole for the top rail button. So, one hole is about 1.125 inches from the bottom of the body tube. I want to put the...

I have a rocket that uses a LOC 2.6" body tube. There's 17.625" worth of body tube to pressurize along with a few inches of 29mm motor tube. There's also a 1/8" vent hole I drilled in to let the inside of the rocket depressurize when I put the payload bay on it. Also for the inside to...

If I happened to get an AT Electronic Forward Closure, would I be legally able to use it?

Ok, I don't even know how to feel about this one. Like last week's racial comments, something happened last night a bit before 11 PM. Well, my mom and my brother got home at around 8 PM and then I came a bit past 11 from tennis lessons. Well upon coming home I found numerous, atleast 15...

I just saw a commercial for a new program called Prototype This on the Discovery Channel. Claims it's from the people that brought us Mythbusters. What do you guys think about this new program? Will it be as bad as (dare I say?) Smash Lab?

I was thinking a few days ago, and it came to me, what would happen if one accidentally got the nozzle mixed up with two different reloads? At the time, I was thinking about the D13 and D24 and I supposed the D24 would overpressurize and CATO on the spot, but what about the D13. I'd guess it...

Ok, so I'm almost done my Drake, which has been sitting out now for a month or two. I just have to make another transition (my first one was soaked with CA and then it cracked) to continue the build. The ramjet tube isn't attached yet and then I got to thinking. I wanted to use the ramjet for...
