The struggle is real! In 2013 I attended a launch with my wife and daughter, and had a great time. My wife, grabbed some nice images of flights, but also grabbed an image of me and my daughter walking some rockets to the RSO table (RSO pictured in the distance). The picture would have been...

This has been discussed a number of times in the past, but I bring the topic back up again, as the prices of altimeters keep coming down. I was curious as to how many HPR fliers use dedicated altimeters for each of their rockets(?) I used to fly one altimeter, and build similar Avionic...

I ordered a new Creality Ender 5 S1, as a dedicated printer, but I am not replacing the CR-10S I bought 4-years ago. However, in 4 years I have never upgraded anything on this printer, and so I am posing the question here, what are some upgrades I can do to improve print quality of this unit...

So I am trying to install CURA 5.2 on my new computer, and in order to use CURA 5.2 I have to create an account (great! More Spam!). And then I get this 'next' request, in my opinion, an intrusive request... What am I missing here? I just need a slicer, not digital intrusion. If I do not...

Back in the day Rocketry Warehouse (RW), owned and run by DiDi & Floyd, kinda took the hobby by a storm, offering kits and making good on orders and promises. Whenever RW released a new kit, they would offer them to The Rocketry Forum first with killer low pricing. Anyone remember the "Hump...

This is my 3rd `73 Camaro, my first, purchased back in 1982 was a Type LT with a Z28 High Performance package... I drover her straight into the ground over the next 8-years. My 2nd was a Plain Jane 350 2-barrel car, completely unmolested. I tinkered a bit, but took care of this car for the...

Times they are a changing, and as such we are adapting best we can... The wife and I have decided to go for our Technisian HAM license on the 18th of June, with the free option to take the General test as well. We bought us some no-frill analog radios; his and her Yaesu FT-60R radios w/ extra...

My true hobby is collecting hobbies to throw money at... But one hobbie that did not get off the ground for very long, was RC sail plane flying. While looking through my old files on my new laptop, I happened across a folder that contained my one and only sail plane venture (circa 2006); I had...

In my search, 3X the length of your rocket is an accepted 'rule-of-thumb' length for shock cord design. But it is a little vague on dual deployment; so is the 3X(Length of rocket) to be yet divided again for each deploy event, or does each deploy event get a 3X length of cord? In other words...
