    Carbon Fiber Centering Rings?

    Hey Gang! I've been doing some digging and can't find what I'm looking for. I'd like to find some 4" x 3" carbon centering rings. I know 'glass is available, but I'd prefer carbon for this pet project I'm working on. Anyone have a recommended source?

    Way OT: Check out the Kite I built!

    Hey gang, I just wanted to share a few pics of my first sewing project: A big, custom, "scratch built" cellular kite I call a Compound Cody Variant. (those are my sons in the pics, btw)

    4:1 Ogive cone for LOC 7.5" tubing

    Now that I'm finally getting settled in to the new pad in Ohio, I feel comfortable pulling together the parts list so I can start spending towards a L3 project of my own. :) Being somewhat of stickler regarding up-front design and the look of the rocket I have in mind (an upscale) one of the...

    What are you or have you been reading? (a book thread)

    I just looked up at the stack of books that I read in 2007 - and the total is about 35. So I thought - do very many TRFers read books for fun with any regularity? This year, I read all 11 books of the Jack Reacher series by Lee Child and those are BY FAR my favorite books that I've...

    RockSim Favor - Pleeze pleeze please

    Hello, I'm getting ready for a launch this weekend, and I'm many, many hours away from my "home" computer where my copy of Rocksim is located. Would someone who has the new AT Mojave Green motor files loaded do me a huge favor? I uploaded the RockSim file for my Seahawk in another...

    Zen and the Art of Cleaning Motor Cases

    No, this isn't a motor case cleaning how-to. Just to get that out of the way. Some people hate cleaning motor cases. It can be a pain in the rear, they can be stubborn, etc. I like it. :) I just spent the last hour or two cleaning my cases from my last launch. Sure, it was a week...

    Jackson Model Rocketry Launch, Oct 13, at MIS

    Perhaps I'm spilling some information relative to me for the first time on this board, but I'm taking a new job in Ohio. That said, I see there's a launch with Jackson Model Rocketry at Michigan Int'l Speedway on Oct. 13 that I'd like to attend to check it out. I've already called ahead and...

    Der Red Max: A Fast Build!

    Hello, I picked up a couple of DRM (new) kits in St. Louis at Schaeffer's hobby this morning, drove back to my house in S.E. Iowa this afternoon, and in abot 2 hours worth of effort I've got the 24mm mount built (with kevlar harness), the fins sanded and attached, and the first round of...

    Holy Mach Diamonds, BatMan!

    WOW! Take a look at the pics of a rocket flown at the Tripoli Quad Cities club launch last Sunday on EX day. I don't know the details of the motor, other than it is a *big* home-brewed green in an equally *big* rocket. EDIT: I just found elsewhere that the motor is an N-3500! :burnout...

    The new "Simpsons" movie

    Ok, this is stemming from a conversation I had yesterday. How many folks are planning to see the Simpsons movie? The content of the poll gives you the gist of that conversation. That "Spider Pig" bit cracks me up everytime I see it! :rotflol:

    Build Thread: 307% Upscaled Estes Space Station Aquarius

    Well, I don't normally do build threads, so this is kind of a new one for me. I've been kicking this project around for a little while now, and am finally getting down to business. When I consider an upscale project, I like to go for things with a bit of a challenge, and that I haven't...

    Wrasp file for the AT J 575 FJ?

    Anyone know where to get a wrasp file for the 9-grain AT J575-FJ reload? Thrustcurve.org doesn't have one. In fact, I can't find a thrust curve for it at all (perhaps I'm not looking in the right place?) Even if I did find the thrust curve, I'm not sure I'd know how to generate a wrasp file...

    Biggest/Best 'Chute for a 3" airframe?

    Hey gang, I'm currently building a High Powered Model Rocket (yes, I typed that correctly) that will have a 3" main airframe for laundry and all the guts. I'm not too concerned with vertical space, by the way - I should have around 20" or so to play with, and I'm using around 20-25' of...

    Some of you may have already seen my thread featuring pics and a flight report of my BD Samurai over in the High Power forum. I put together a review for EMRR that has been added to their site, available for review here: https://www.rocketreviews.com/reviews/kits/bd_samurai_38.html :flute:
