Hi there, I've tried to find a vendor who has a CTI 98mm 1G casing for sale. No luck so far. If anyone has a new or used 1G casing, please let me know. I'm located in Canada but I do have a U.S. address where I can receive packages. Thanks!

I have a stupid situation. I need to open a couple of plywood centering rings by about 2 mm. I'd like to do it evenly. I would prefer to do it with a jig or some kind of tool but I don't have a router. I would prefer not to hand sand them. The rings are 7.5 inch with 98mm MMT openings. I am...

I ordered a LOC Mega Magg kit directly from LOC. I emailed a few questions and was able to get a couple very small things changed. 1) 98mm MMT instead of 54mm. 2) No parachute or recovery harness as I am not sure what I will require. Simulations only go so far when planning. 3) 3 centering...

I have an Ozark ARTS version 1 altimeter. I haven't used it but I was hoping to do so. I am having a problem with either the altimeter being toast or the communications, or ? I don't have a PC with a serial port. I use a USB to serial adapter. The adapter works fine communicating with another...

Yesterday, I finally had enough of a member here. I put him on my Ignore List. That made my Ignore List reach a total population of 1. To my shame, he was a fellow Canadian. :facepalm: Generally, malicious members don't last long here and they either lose interest or get banned. Or, there is...

I'll be there. I really enjoyed NARCON when it was in Seattle in 2011. I just wondered who else might be making the trip. Len Bryan

Hello there, I recently listed the 4G casing on an RP auction. I know some people hate auctions (especially those with a reserve) so I will list it here for sale. This is for a casing only. No closures or other accessories. Well, the plastic container is included. :) I will offer this...

Shameless Plug for my auction on RP Auctions. https://www.rocketryplanet.com/auctions/Kinghouse-Machine-ARCAS,itemname,2302,id,auctiondetails Thanks, LenB

Hi there, I specifically am interested in the CTI 98mm 1G casing and a couple of Aerotech items. I want to get the new 98mm seal disk as I have two motors that now advise to use it. Also, I am interested in the newly designed aft closure with that can accommodate the new nozzle. Is there...

Hi all, I am about to build an Aerotech Sumo. I intend to build it stock but I want to try out a bit of a harsh motor in it. An H-268R comes to mind. I know I will need to leave out the Labyrinth II device to be able to fit it in. The only other modifications I was intending are to use rail...

So what is the highest average thrust motor you have put into a stock Performance Rocketry Gizmo? I'd like to hear real experiences related if possible. I have a couple motors that should make it really travel. They both kiss 750 MPH according to RockSim 8. It's not final as I don't have the...

I sure would like to lock onto one of these. Dealer requests have so far come up dry. I need the casing and closures. Rouse-made hardware, either Monster or Aerotech. I need it soon. I'm DYING here folks. Help me!!! No casings and 2 reloads. Drat. I've been trying to get one for a long...

Hi there, Every now and then, I come back to The Rocketry Forum for a visit. My real job keeps me too busy to be on often. There is no other forum. Anyway, so far, almost every time I have done so, I have needed to dig into my PayPal account for a few $$ for a Sandman kit. I haven't heard of...

Hi there, I just wanted to pop in a message to let you guys know about a really cool tool. It will be pricey for some but I am sure a few can and will justify the expenditure, as I did. I just received this alignment guide and I am really very impressed. Had I known about the high power sized...

Hi there, Has anyone had trouble getting an order placed with Perfectflite? I bought an altimeter and a couple of timers a couple of years ago with no problems. Recently, I placed a smallish order ($50.00 or so) online, got the confirmation with a message saying that international (Canadian)...

Last night, I placed an order with BMS via their online order system. Today, I got an email to let me know that my order shipped and that they credited me for a postage overcharge. Great stuff! So far, that is best service I have had yet. Well, tied with Roachwerks and Shrox Industria...

Hi there, Does anyone have a scan of the plan set for the Super Big Bertha? Failing that, I am mostly interested in nailing a scan of the actual fin set. The nose cone and BT-80 tubes are easy enough. I looked at JimZ's site and Ye Olde Rocket Shoppe and cannot find these. Rocksim files out...

Hi there, I just read on another thread where someone has seen troubles when a person decides to build fins in a single piece when a two piece fin glued together lengthwise is called for in the instructions. I'm at the point of assembling a clone of the Estes Andromeda (easy to do btw) and...

I've been working on a Big Daddy (aka Very Bad Daddy) for a while. My idea was to make one that looks just like a regular kit except for the bottom view. I'm making it with a 54mm motor mount. I thought I would post some pictures of mine under construction. I'm happy to see that someone else on...

Hi Everyone, I just finished a stock Estes Honest John (re-release). It took me a long time to finally get around to painting it and applying the decals. Anyway, it came out looking pretty good and it weighs in at about 350 grams empty. That's actually a little less than what the box says...
