Just curious if there is an online source of SolidWorks rocket parts like ebays, airframes, fins, etc. Just trying to cut down on some of my design time. What I would really like to find is Hypertek components; tanks, grains, retaining hardware, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

I want to upgrade a 54mm electronics bay to a TeleMega and an EasyMini. I currently fly two EasyMini. If I do not change the design of the electronics bay, specifically the coupler tube and its center section, two screw switches will be on either side of the antenna at the midpoint. (See...

I built this rocket in the mid-90s. Not long after, it landed hard on a paved road and one of the fins broke off. I finally got around to repairing it after more than 20 years. Can anyone tell me the name of this rocket? Thanks!!

I upgraded my 16" MacBook Pro to Monterey. When I run Rocksim, the fonts are very bold and fuzzy. No other program seems to be affected. Has anyone else run into this?

Flew my first Hybrid in some time at the SC Rocketry Launch this weekend. The rocket was a 54mm G10 with Acme Fin Can. The max altitude on the I-260 was 3,085 feet. Many thanks to Johnny Hoffman for his GSE, Robert Carson for continuing to support and sell the Hypertek System, and Chuck...

I purchased a RunCam Split 4 as an internal camera on some smaller rockets. After some research, it appears I need to purchase a BEC to stabilize the power. Can anyone offer some guidance on how they set Split 4 up? BEC if used? Battery? Thanks!! -Sam

Looking for the RocSim database files for the 54mm and 38mm Acme fin cans. RocSim 10 does not have the Acme Fin Cans in the database. These parts were available in earlier versions. I found a .rkt file, but when I try to import it, the .rkt file does not appear in the import window of RocSim...

I installed the Altus Mac software on my MacBook Pro running Catalina with no issues. When I launch Altus, it errors out asking for Java 6. I tried to install the AdoptOpenJDK project but an install error stated there was a later version running. Where to from here? I went to the Altus site...

Anyone out there got a 5478 cc tank they want to sell....... Sam

Anyone have a Hypertek 5478 tank they would like to sell? Sam

Just wondering how many of you still fly Hybrids? Our big issue in Orangeburg, SC has been aging GSE. One of the issues I hear from the AP and Sugar crowd is "it's too complicated !" Is that the main issue or is it something else? Here's what I see: 1. Commercial AP motors - Generally...

This video shows the test results of our FC Launch Pad prototype circuit designed to protect Ground Support Equipment (GSE) digital circuitry against conducted and radiated EMI/RFI from the ignition arc and flame. Outcomes were 100% positive and exceeded expectations. FC Launch Pad will...

Anyone remember who did the Scale Gemini project with Gimbaled motors? I've seen the build page before but can't seem to find it now. Thanks!!

Anyone using a "Club Management Software" to mange membership and dues? Would like to see something that would support a tablet for the field. Thanks, Sam

Looking for a little feedback. Having grown tired of our Hypertek GSE, complete with windshield wiper motors to turn the ball valves, we have started from scratch. Our new system will support 2 pads and is wireless. We have tested the range at over a mile and it works like a charm. Just...

808 Keychain Camera Mount: We have noodled around with several designs for the 808 Keychain Mounts and have settled on a more robust unit than the first 808 prototypes. The unit has two mounting holes under the camera and can be fastened to the airframe with two wood screws or two number 6...

As many of our projects are inching toward beta, we figured it was about time to start a Vendor Thread here on TRF. I think you guys are going to like what you see in the coming months. I am really excited about FC Deploy. This is a Completely Non-Pyro Deployment System. FC Deploy will work...

A short history ..... In the late 90's I watched a friend build and fly a video camera with transmitter. With the exception of the time it triggered the altimeter when he turned it on, the system worked great. From that time on, I have been interested in packing a camera or a video camera on...
