    NAR clubs do exist in Canada! I recommend chartering with NAR rather than CAR as you can receive $250 per year in grants for your section from NAR. SWARM (in Ontario) has used several grants to purchase launch equipment. There is an NAR club in Alberta and another in Ontario. Better value for...

    Thoughts and questions on C11-3 discontinuation?

    I have heard that the entire C11 and E9 lines are being discontinued. I would also like to stock up on C11-3, as I often use them the same way you do. Glad you found some.

    Adding nose weight to balsa cones

    I like the drilling technique as well. It allows the weight to be placed further into the nose, meaning you don't need quite as much as if you glue washers to the base of the cone. I have used a drill press and a Dremel tool to make space in the cone--both seemed to work fine.

    NAR JR L1 questions

    Actually, junior fliers cannot handle HPR motors at all. Their mentor must assemble and install it, although an RSO might ask the flier to tell the mentor how to do so.

    CTI Pro29 Stuck

    I used the WD-40 soaking method. After a day I still couldn’t get it to budge even with two sets of vise grips. I brought it to my buddy’s place and after looking it over and talking for a bit I picked it up and unscrewed it by hand! Maybe some of the spray worked into the grooves...

    CTI Pro29 Stuck

    Ramming it out is not an option as it is screwed into the casing.

    CTI Pro29 Stuck

    Hey Folks! I have a 29mm CTI 3 grain casing but I left the last reload in it about a year ago. Now it is stuck. I can’t unscrew it. I tried using pliers with a cloth underneath but I can not get a good grip on the aluminum case. I have not tried pliers on the case, as I do not want to...

    Unable to open OpenRocket

    I am having the same issue. I am running on an iMac. My Mac Mini ran the version I had on it with no problems. I downloaded the Java JDK version that I was prompted. When I try to run OR, the opening splash screen shows but then I get the same error mentioned above.

    What did you do rocket wise today?

    Launched my first 7 rockets of 2015, including the Estes Firestorm on a D12/B6 combination. The Firestorm launch was the best two stage flight I've flown; I highly recommend picking one up. Also flew my Eliminator,on an E9, which landed in a creek. Rescued it with a fishing pole with a large...

    How big is rocketry in the USA?

    No rocketry in school curriculum in Ontario, Canada!😥 I have done some launches with my daughters' classes but there is no mention of it in any science units--even the ones on flight (grade 6) or space (grade 9). I do build rockets with my grade 9's though.

    clubs in or near toronto

    Got your application. I will email you more details tomorrow. We are trying to finalize use of a small field for monthly launches that might be limited to low altitude. We have a 100 acre field that could possibly accommodate G's but we can only use it at certain times (it's crop dependant). The...
