    How do you view Mid Power?

    I am a huge fan of mid power. I have my L1, but I very rarely launch anything of that size. I love the Big E to G range of engines. They are affordable as well as you have a much larger choice of diameter and weight choices! The ProSeries II estes to some great madcow kits have been fun to...

    Upscale Flutter-By?

    only thing i notice off the bat is that your second set of fins are cardboard and not basswood... also look at using more presets but it looks ok... I also have never built the flutterby so the back end is a mystery to me.

    Estes Pro Series II Nylon Parachutes

    I popped one shroud line on a estes chute with a leviathan, i just took some Kevlar thread and resewed it by hand - 3 min good as new. I checked all the other lines and all seemed secure.

    Minie magg nose weight? Confused

    huge fan of Open Rocket - but also LOC gives you the location were the CoG should be (i believe) so you can just tie off the rocket at that point and see were it balances. If it slowly noses down you are good - if it drops back to the fins, not so good... make sure to do this with a motor in...

    My first "clone"! Mini Mean Machine

    The mini mean machine was one of my favorites as a kid. I found a great replacement in the fletcher. I just took out the motor mount and put in a thrust ring to make it minimum diameter. That thing moves on a c6-7.
