    Too small RMS casing

    Did you ever had a casing which was too small? I have here a rouse-tech 38/720 casing which is to small for AT liners. The liner is ok it fits in all other 38er casings I have. I've tried to sand down the liner but the casing is really a lot too small. Finally I broke the phenolic liner. I...

    So today is the 20. of may and I have still heard nothing from the old RW management. Paypal decided the case today in my favor, since there was no answer from RW to the claim and they were able to recover the funds from RW. Very sad that this had to end this way, since I have ordered almost...

    The 3.3$ Altimeter

    I wanted an altimeter which is so cheap, that you can give it away to kids during launches. Model rocketry is quite uncommon in Germany, and where are happy about every kid that shows up at a launch. While we regularly give away model rocket motors, altimeters are normally too expensive. So...

    Subminimum diameter CTI K445

    You think the motor casing is the minimum diameter, every tried flying without it? This is a CTI K445, it even has the packaging as tube fins and flies on a D9-3.

    Estes CATO Clone

    Some of you might know the Estes CATO. It is a kit from estes which is designed to disintegrate during flight and come apart into 7 pieces, triggered by the ejection from a booster motor. I wanted one for some time but it is quite impossible to find one in Europe, so I designed one on my...

    Altimeter with Accel based Variometer

    Hi, does anybody know an Altimeter with a variometer which is based on acceleration data, which can be used as a high speed falling detector after apogee? I would like to have something like this: If Apogee was deceted by acceleration based speed and after that speed gets lager than x or...

    Gap staging Querry

    I launched a 2 stage rocket today D12-0 to E9-6 beautiful flight, staged perfectly. But when I recovered it I found that the entire engine mount tube in the booster had been completly incinerated. The gap was about 8 inches. Anybody know what may have caused this?

    Burn Time Question

    I made a 2 stage rocket, 24mm upper, 24mm booster with 2 parallel 18mm on the sides of the rocket. I want to make sure the burn time on the 18mm engines doesn't exceed the burn time of the 24mm booster engine. But my question is, does the upper stage light exactly at the burn time on the motor...

    Minium Velocity

    Im doing some studies on Max Lift off weight, In one method (with Rocksim) you need to input minimum velocity for stable flight and compare it to the speed at launch guide departure. So how do you determine the minimum vel. for stable flight.

    ejection charge question

    SORRY ABOUT THE SPAM Does any one know how to find the ejection force values on standard BP estes engines. or if 24mm motors give a more forceful ejection than 18mm and so on. Im creating a recovery device that may require a very low blast or a way of de-pressurizing the sustainer. thanks.

    Umbrella Chute

    I've been kicking this idea around for a while. Ever since I built the Estes Sizzler (with rear ejection) I thought I'd try something where the nosecone stays attached.I finally came up with something that I think will work. I built this Proto type. The one thing I'm worried about is, if she...
