    LOC nosecone length

    I tried to back into the length using LOC's Patriot. Best I could come up with was: its advertised length of 101" minus 78" of supplied BT lengths = 23 inch nosecone, give or take. BB

    Thanks... I'm at work, too, but trying to get a jump on this project. BB

    LOC nosecone length

    Can someone tell me the tip-to-lip length of the 7.51-inch nosecone? Not the overall length including the shoulder, just the length above the BT edge. Thanks in advance. BB

    Any word on the purchases of Gorilla Motors and Polecat Aerospace?

    This post is old, but I just happened across it today - laughed out loud to the point my co-workers came into my office to see what was up. Too d**m funny.

    AeroTech Open Thread

    Is information readily available stating the amount of BP Aerotech supplies for ejection charges in their HPR reloads? I'm needing to know how much BP Aerotech provides with their 38/360, /480, /600, and /720 reloads. Long story short... a previously dual-deployed rocket has sacrificed its...

    Estes customer service

    Just a quick “hats off” to the Estes team for yet another example of their superior customer service. This past Saturday my Broadsword suffered a malfunction shortly after ignition resulting in burnt fins and a destroyed airframe. I shared my sad story with Christine who, after a few...

    Need help with an extension cord

    When my brother-in-law was getting rid of his 100' extension cord I said I'd take it off his hands. He added it had some kinks, but I wasn't expecting it to be so bad. The cord works fine so I'll likely keep it, but is there any way to straighten it out? Thanks for your suggestions.

    I've had that same problem using my camera phone... then I discovered I can rotate the picture in my phone before saving... welcome to the forum.

    LOC Doorknob Question

    My first 4-inch build seemed huge at the time - I could fit my hand and arm inside the airframe. The 7.5-inch builds have been terrific, but I'm running out of room for them. I may have to limit myself to 5.5-inch BTs...:(

    LOC Doorknob Question

    Hi jef955, My Doorknob exceeded LOC's advertised weight of 122 ounces before I even laid down the primer... coming in at ~175 ounces fully loaded - The 60-inch stock chute was undersized, but the next larger chute I had on hand was 84-inches, so that's what I used. I've since ordered a 70-inch...

    LOC Doorknob Question

    Nice looking Time Bandit, jef955... I'm very happy with the kit and, IMO, the artwork on the LOC website doesn't do it justice. Dunno know why, the but lines are noticeably sleeker in person. Now I'm thinking of dusting off my Defy Gravity Tether and boosting on a "K" motor.

    LOC Doorknob Question

    The Doorknob flew at MDRA this past Saturday on a J350... gonna drop down the chute size as it drifted a bit. Link to the video: https://youtu.be/N5QNIeD5j6s
