    A shout to some great vendors

    I wanted to take this time and thank some vendors: SEMROC: Just recently I ordered a new balsa nose cone from SEMROC for my Bat Ray kit from Mad Cow because the one that came with was messed up (out of round). When I received the nose cone it was well packaged and bagged. I was very impressed...

    Lining airframe with aluminum

    Has anyone tried lining an airframe with aluminum. One of my scratch builds I'm thinking about building has the motors set back in the airframe and rather than using a tube coupler and epoxy to protect the airframe I want to try something different and use aluminum tubing/foil. I was thinking...

    Hobbylinc and AT

    I contacted Hobbylinc about when there RMS hardware will be in. If you look at some of their items it states "Not in Stock Due Date unknown" https://www.hobbylinc.com/model_rocket_engine_supplies when they word it that way it makes you think if they are ever going to carry it at all?

    MAD COW Bat Ray nose cone question

    Is there a place where I can get a replacement nose cone for this kit? I don't care if it's plastic, in fact it would be better. The shoulder on mine was out of round and I tried to sand it to make it fit, now it's too sloppy loose and I don't feel like wrapping it with tape. It's out of...

    Nomex

    I know the answer, but want to verify. When using a Nomex chute protector 9x9 is it safe to use on a body tube between 2-3"? Some say up BT-80 size other sites say 12x12 from 3-4" I would think a 9x9 is good for a 3" body tube

    Laser cut parts

    I'm going to upgrade a couple kits I have and I need some parts laser cut. Who would do this work? I'm thinking about replacing the balsa wings and parts with lite ply 1/8" I don't see that it would add much weight. Also upgrading the center rings with lite ply.

    Filling balsa nose cones

    Well in my build of MADCOW's Bat Ray I'm at the point of filling the nose cone. This is actually believe it or not my first kit with a balsa nose cone. It's a nice cone, but has some minor imperfections. I decided to try some Aerogloss Balsa Filler. I applied a couple coats letting it dry...

    Epoxy Fin Fillets

    For a long time I always used the two part epoxy clay, which IMO seems to work well and provides plenty of time to form fillets, but afterward you have to spend some time filing, shaping and sanding the fillets to get that desired smooth and uniform blend we all look for when we make our...

    Level 1 Question???

    If you are Level 1 certified are you still able to launch Level 1 HPR outside a club event if the rocket stays below a certain altitude? Or do all the launches you make using Level have to be an an organized launch event.
