    7 good flights, 2 bad ones.

    Dusting a plastic chute with baby powder will help make it open more easily.

    7 good flights, 2 bad ones.

    Sounds like a good day All in all. If I may make a suggestion fly the Astra with a streamer instead of a chute. I fly mine this way all the time.

    Return of Fat Boy

    Here is the thread on TRF1 regarding the 4 by 24mm Fat Boy. I used 4.4 oz of nose weight. I also cut off the base of the nose cone and pack the chute there. The 24mm and 4 by 18 mm has 4 oz of nose weight with the base of the nose cone cut off. Both flew very well.

    The Estes C6 and D12 have a similar burn time see D12 and C6 data sheets from the NAR web site. I think I used a D12-5 and 4 C6-5s.

    I had the same thing happen with my green crayon, should have purchased the RED one. I did manage to find the fin unit, gotta figure out what to build around it.

    Water-based acrylics: looking for a quickstart for rocketry

    I have the Badger 155 Anthem dual action air brush and have had good luck with it. I believe most folks here will recommend the Paache single action. I do wish I had known about using a CO2 cylinder, I have a Craftsman compressor it works great but it is loud, the silence would be nice. I...
