There is another source for the Nomex Honeycomb. https://store.acpsales.com/categories/334/panels-sheets-laminates ACP has several different thicknesses and some panels that have the coverings already bonded to the Nomex. At one time they had some available as factory seconds for a reasonable...

This is so true. The rockets you have built, the motor hardware and reloads you have bought do you no good if it is impossible to attend a launch.

Cases are the same as is the aft closure. Forward closure acts as the adapter between the case and the Nitrous tank and I don't think they are made currently. I also don't think AT makes any new reloads for the 54mm Hybrids. There are folks on this forum that still fly the AT hybrids. One has...

Ah yes Black's Beach. We used to go there often when I was stationed aboard an Gator Freighter out of San Diego. Great place for body surfing but not for body viewing. Fun to watch the young Sailors and Marines just out of Boot Camp climb down to the beach expecting to see Glamor models or...

John is this a Gen1 case? It looks like it from the picture.

Thanks Jim I didn't think about reducing the size of the fins. I might have to look into that. I also have some carbon cloth I could cover the G-10 fins in to add stiffness. When I built my 6" Endeavour I used 1/8" Fiberglass/Honeycomb Sandwich Panels from ACP Composites. They were inexpensive...

John Thanks for the reminder on cleaning every thing before assembly.

Sorry for the meandering post. It is hard to concentrate when my three year old great granddaughter is competing for my attention.:wink: Thanks for the replies. They allayed some concerns I had and gave me some ideas. Motor retention is with a Giant Leap Slimline. I think my best option for the...

I am planning to build a 4" FWFG version of a PML Endeavour with a 75mm motor mount. I have a 3 grain CTI case I plan to use. I have been running some sims in RocSim but not having final weights limits their accuracy. Parts I have in house. 60"X4" Rocketry Warehouse FWFG tube. 4"X8"...

Are you talking about this Power Perch https://www.featherweightaltimeters.com/uploads/1/0/9/5/109510427/perch_orig.jpg it has the Apo, Main, 3rd,& 4th connections plus a connector for a small 130mAh 10C 1S 7v Li-Po battery. I have one and have used it successfully.

When I had a Question about a Rocketman chute I just called Ky.

Thanks everybody for your help.

kuririn Thank you for the suggestion on 3-D printing for the nose cones. I am going to look at some that Ken @ Performance hobbies has. Tubing I figured out where I was going wrong, so that is sorted. The Falcon has been flown so much on motor ejection that the motor mount tube has burned...

Measured the old tubes on the Falcon and found out the original tubes are LOC size but a repair/extension tube someone put in has a OD 20 thousandths smaller than the LOC. so LOC tubes will work. Problem solved.

Kuririn. I will have to do some measuring later tonight on some LOC tubing I have and compare both of those to the tubing on the falcon. I wrongly assumed that because this tubing is glassine coated it was different than the white paper LOC tubing.

dhbarr Thanks for the source.

I am trying to rebuild an old THOY Falcon. It does not use LOC style/weight paper tubes. I have the correct ACE Nose Cone. The Body tubes are Glassine coated 3.90 ID X 4.00 O.D. I think the length was 36". And I need at least 3. I am also looking for Fat Boy style nose cones in 3 and 4 inch...

Congratulations Noah Joraanstad! It is extremely impressive what some of our rocketeers can do! I know that there is no way I could manage one of these on my own but they are so much fun to watch and Kate totally improves the experience.

Thanks Eric. The EZI-65 will be the easiest just need to shorten the payload bay tube and get some decals or a wrap for it. The Falcon will take a little longer as I plan to replace all of the tubing to bring it back to stock dimensions. The tubing appears to be a thinner cardboard than LOC...

Kev you planning on attending AirFest this year? Hope to see you there.
