    Video editing S/W

    Hi All, I've got a Mobius camera, which records good quality video in 5 minute chunks, in AVI format. My problem, and the help I'm looking for, is how to edit the resulting clips into a viable movie WITH SOUND. For some reason, every video editor that I've tried, aside from the old Windows...

    Tango Papa 2x Mars Lander - looking for help & advice!

    A few years ago I purchased (what the instructions refer to as) a "pseudo-kit" from a fellow in the Seattle area: The Tango Papa 2x Mars Lander. Based on the instructions and materials included, I'm guessing this must have been a very early version of the kit. Old receipts for hardware that...

    Sold Zooch Saturn 1B

    Hello all, I picked this kit up a few years ago but am realizing (as so many of us seem to) that I have too many kits to build and that I'm enjoying mid/high power more than low power, at least for the moment. This is a Dr. Zooch Saturn 1B (ant scale) AS201-205 kit. It has been opened and...

    Kosdon Nozzles

    Hi folks, While I have seen some information regarding case, nozzle, and liner sizes for larger Kosdon cases (specifically 54+mm), I still haven’t found any information regarding the 24-38mm sizes. I have recently come into a number of reloads and cases in this size range, so need help...

    Multi-stage motor selection

    For those who have played in the world of multi-stage rockets, I have a question: When selecting motors for two stage rockets, what sort of thrust curves do you seek for each stage? The booster stage needs to have enough thrust to get the stack moving off the pad quickly in order to ensure...

    When to use T2T for MD rockets

    Let me preface this by saying I don't have a whole lot of experience with minimum diameter HP rockets. I'm currenly L2 certified (have been for a few years) and am working on my L3, but all of those have been bigger birds. The closest I've come to MD before was perhaps 54mm birds with 38mm...

    Mega Red Max deployment issue

    Hi folks, I built a MDRM with my son last year and took it out for a launch. We sent it up on an F52 reload with the standard ejection charge (included with the reload). Launch was beautiful, but the rocket came in ballistic. Kiddo was very disappointed, as might be expected, but is...

    Need ideas/plans for a low power launch rack

    Hi folks, I am the rocket launch coordinator for our local Cub Scout pack, and run the pack launch each year. Since I took over, I have migrated our setup away from a bunch of un-coordinated Estes launch pads and started running launches using the GSE from my local club. This works great...

    54 mm Thick walled FG segment for vent band

    I am looking to replace a vent band on an older 54mm Darkstar Jr. This was the thick walled version, pre thin-wall FG. I've already checked with Wildman, but they don't have any thick stuff available. So, if anyone has some extra 54mm Thick walled FG airframe tubing around... I'm looking...

    Estes Sonic igniters on AT 29mm motors?

    Has anyone had experience using the Estes Sonic igniters to light an AT 29mm motor? In particular, I'm thinking of those times where my copperhead (that came with the motor) doesn't work, and I need a backup. Normally I've gone with a first-fire Jr igniter for something like a G64, and they...

    The Big 4-0 (and Giving thanks for my blessings)

    So, despite my best intentions and everything I've tried over the past 39+ years to keep the day from coming, I'm going to turn 40 around the end of the month. Seeing as it's a big milestone, my wife asked me what kind of birthday present would be really, truly special. Of course, after the...

    Nylon all-thread for an av-bay?

    Has anyone tried using nylon all-thread to secure end-plates on an av-bay? I'm considering a pair of 1/4"x20 nylon rods for a 2" dia., 7" long bay on a ~2kg rocket (Darkstar Jr). I'm trying to avoid steel all-thread due to potential interference with a 900MHz GPS system. Back of the...

    Coupler length/BT overlap & e-bays

    Hi folks- Working on a new scratch build and wanted to get folks to weigh in on a question I'm pondering: What is the minimum overlap you should design for a body tube & coupler? I'm thinking HPR, in case that changes anything. Normally I'd like to see ~1 body diameter of separable...
