G'day all, Can anyone give me an idea of the level of cellphone reception one is able to get at the major launch sites in the US? Black Rock NV, Argonia KS, Lucerne CA etc. Not looking for anything specific, just a general idea of whether it is good, bad or none at all would be helpful...

Hi All, I recently bought a USB serial adapter cable to I could program my Beeline Units in the field with my laptop, as it only has one of those VGA ports, rather than a serial. I can't get my laptop to recognize the cable. The 'found new hardware' wizard doesn't pop up automatically...

Hi everyone, I'm just wondering what the best way to catch a rabbit (alive, without hurting it) is? There's this rabbit around our house that's really odd. It's half brown and half white. The odd thing is, the colour is split PERFECTLY down the middle. As though someone has masked it...

Hi guys, Somewhere there is a thread on my old one....it got run over by the farmers truck sometimes during the week it was lost. So i got working on a new one: Here is the finished product: Airframe is two layers of CF. I dunno what weight. I ordered 5.7oz but it is much too...

Hi Everyone, Here is my project. 38mm min dia on a J570. It is based on Mr Alcocer's (TFish)design which he uses for most of his rockets....He's been really helpful with answering my questions. Also I tend to hi-jack his threads for my use...sorry about that.... It has a PerfectFlite...

Hi everyone, Yesterday I layed up a short 'test piece' of 54mm tubing using three layers of 5.7 oz Carbon. The thickness and strength were right on, and I am going to continue with just three layers, but I need some help with the finish. BTW it was 2 layers of wax paper, 3 layers of...

Hi everyone, I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has seen or has documentation on the new AT M650 or M750 and can make some observations as to what thermal insulation they are using? From memory the M650 burns for 9 secs and the M750 for 12 - I'd love to know what kind of liners they...

Hi there, I have a project in mind but have a few problems that need to be eliminated first. I have a transmitter that must be located in the NC ( aiframe is CF ). However, it is very small and does not require the entire space of the Nosecone, and I want to use the volume of the shoulder...

Hi guys, I recently recieved my Aeropoxy laminating stuff from Giant leap so today I thought I'd get outside and make a fiberglass tube or two. I noticed that when I opened the Hardener container it was only 1/2 full. The Resin container is almost full to the top. The mixing ratio is...

Hi guys. Just wondering what experiences and feedback you've got from using the GPSflight system. I know that some say it's the bee's knees but other think its a piece of junk. Please only respond if you have had ACTUAL experience with it. Thanks, Ethan

Hi everyone, I recently purchased a J570 from our dealer here in N.Z, and I can see through the packaging that there are mfg. dates printed on the grains. They are labeled as 9/1997. Obtaining reloads as old as this is not uncommon due to the nature of our dealer. However, on this flight...
