    eBay: LOTS of AT & Pro38 hardware

    Everyone, Fear not that I am leaving the hobby--quite the contrary...I've been bitten by the hybrid bug! But the easiest way for me to get lots of hybrid casings is to part ways with my APCP hardware. I've posted all my stuff on eBay. Links to the auctions along with item descriptions are as...

    Show us your PicoAlt battery mounts!

    I purchased a PicoAlt PICO-P1 (peak only) altimeter several months ago but I haven't used it yet because I haven't come up with an easy to implement method of mounting it in my rockets. At best, I've gotten no further than merely contemplating some ideas about what batteries to use & how to...

    Looking for replacement parts for Impulse Aersoapce Quad-Pod

    I have been trying off & on for the past few months to contact someone at Impulse Aerospace regarding the purchase of some replacement parts for their Quad-Pod launch pads. I haven't gotten a reply back to repeated email attempts, much actually sent any money (so I've only invested my time to...

    YAGT: Glue reference website

    I recently stumbled across this website: https://www.thistothat.com/ I would hardly call it a comprehensive reference (as it's more craft related--not rocketry related), but for a quick & easy general use reference, it's pretty handy!

    Passed the exam & got my ham radio license

    I know there has been quite a bit of talk lately here on TRF about using radio locators in our rockets. In order to use them, you must have an amateur radio license. I ordered the ARRL study guide (Now You're Talking!: All You Need to Get Your First Ham Radio License, $20 + shipping) from...

    3/19/05 Spaceport Rocketry Assoc. flight report

    The weather here in Central Florida was AMAZING. I don't think it got above 70 degrees & there was always just a slight breeze--enough to keep anyone from getting sweaty but low enough to not affect the rockets. In turn, everyone who flew something really went for it all day long. My friend...

    Praise for Cowboy Rocketry

    This past Sunday I placed an order for several items at Cowboy Rocketry. I really liked the shopping cart feature in that I had 4 payment options: mail-in, fax-in, credit card, or PayPal. I was feeling lazy & didn't want to type in my CC info again so I chose PayPal. It sent me right over to...

    Praise for XAVIEN!

    I recently placed an order with cowboyrocketry.com for a few items, one of them being a XAVIEN XSSET-1 timer. I had been surfing around on XAVIEN's website during the couple of days I was waiting for my order because I wanted to look at the manual (because the manuals for all XAVIEN products...

    Creative thinking meets Richter Recker

    Cliff has a couple of brothers that fly regularly at Spaceport Rocketry Association monthly launches & he decided that he would finally build & launch a rocket. He started out big. Real big. Not necessarily high power but no one will ever call a Richter Recker small! He did a bang up job (as...

    USR Mosquito 2.2

    Well, I know that I have said in the past that I've been looking to not build basic 3FNCs too much anymore and stick to new, challenging builds instead but sometimes too much of a good thing is indeed too much! It has been a real treat the past 2 evenings to work on a U.S. Rockets Mosquito...

    U.S. Rockets praise

    I know there are several vendors that receive praise over & over for their quick service & there's another one that should be added to your list: U.S. Rockets. Long story short, I had a few incorrect parts & a couple others that were missing with my Sentra SRB 2.7 kit, which I imagine could...

    USR El Lubbo

    OK, I've mentioned in a couple of threads that I've been working on a U.S. Rockets El Lubbo. I suppose now would be a good time to present the fruits of my labor. Actually it isn't finished yet, but I am in the midst of putting the final coats of glossy paint on it... First off, the El...

    USR Stiletto

    I ordered a U.S. Rockets Stiletto a couple of weeks ago & have been working on it for the past few days... Only good things to report so far. Overall it is a 4" diameter 5FNC rocket that transitions about halfway along its length to 2.7" diameter. It also has a LARGE balsa nose cone. The...

    USR Weightlofter

    A full review for EMRR is in the works but I thought I'd give an early preview here (especially since it'll be 2 or 3 more weeks before I get to fly it!) I started working on the second of 3 USR kits that I received in the past week or so. The Weightlofter is a fairly challenging to build mid...

    USR Miniroc 1.2

    I started working on the first of 3 USR kits in the past few days. I started with the Miniroc 1.2 because it was the simplest & smallest of the 3 kits to build. A full review for EMRR is in the works but I thought I'd give an early preview here (especially since it'll be 2 or 3 more weeks...

    Any "Monster Garage"/"American Chopper"/Discovery Channel fans?

    This past weekend was Biketoberfest in Daytona Beach, FL. I grew up in the area & live only an hour away in Orlando. The wife & I went over this weekend to check out the bikes for a few hours. There was plenty to see but since I've been quite a few times, I really went to see the bikes by...
