One of the first mid power kits I built was the LOC Onyx sometime around 2005-6? I had many fun flights with it until one of the fins broke off on landing. I repaired it but the fins kept cracking. The rocket ended up in the box of 'someday'. After a move last year I ran into it again as I was...

I found the first midpower rocket I ever built- a LOC Onyz. It hasn't flown in many years because of cracked fins. My plan is to cut off the fins and rebuild it as a 7 tube fin rocket. While I'm at it I would like to add positive motor retention. The original design is for friction fit. Any...

Has anyone used Van Sickle Super Premium rattle cans? It comes in a few cool colors.

I found an old Fliskit's Frick-n-Frack kit in the stash. It's missing the Fin Alignment Jig sheet. Does anyone happen to have the kit and can scan the sheet for me? I've sent an email to Fliskits as well. I'd like to start the kit soon so any help would be great. Thanks!

My church is replacing the Christmas Candle holders. That hole looks just about perfect for a 18mm motor... How about a few rocketry related ideas for them?

I'm in the process of moving to Moscow, ID. Any rocketry specific state regulations that I need to be aware of? Mostly LP and Mid because I'll head back to TriCities Rocketeers launches outside of Pasco, WA for HP. Thanks for any info!

I found my sons 29mm Polecat Goblin in the 'need repairs' box. IIRC it didn't deploy on its first flight and buried itself in a foot of snow. There is a bit of body tube compression- My plan is to glue some 1/64 ply on the inside below the nosecone and then sand down the paper bump. Other...

Does anyone know where I can find a dimensional plan for the Bumper 2? I would like to convert my US Rocket 2.2 V2 into a stand off scale version. Thanks!

I have a Polecat 5.5" Skeeter kit I would like to modify for dual deploy. How would you do it? I'm thinking of some type of doughnut AV bay but would love to see your ideas.

Does Tripoli still match NAR Certification Levels when joining? Thanks!

Any experienced arborists around? Sad to say my favorite tree in the backyard is in trouble. The trunk has cracked: Yes, the crack goes all the way through. I'm afraid it will split in one of our windstorms which hit somewhat frequently. I could wrap the trunk with thick chain as a...

My all time favorite rocket is a tube rocket conversion of the Estes Vagabond. It has canted tube fins and a 29mm motor mount. It has flown with a C11-3 to a G64. I believe it's H capable but haven't tried it yet. At least I'm not sure if I did. A CTI 3 grain H54 White Longburn would give it...

Any links to resources for this? It's for an engineering project at school. He has access to mid power through Lvl. 2 HPR (also known as Dad:)). I'm not sure what the project parameters are so I'm looking for pretty much anything. Thanks!

I had fun helping out my daughters science teacher with a rocketry presentation today. Let me tell you carrying a couple large rockets through the halls of a large middle school as the students are moving between classes is quite entertaining! I did a short presentation on the rocketry...

US Rockets Mosquito 2.2 (Shortened) Estes F15-0, F15-6

Ever since I built and flew the Fliskits Richter Recker I've dreamed of scaling it up using 3.9 tubing. The original Richter Recker had a 3x 24mm cluster configuration. For an upscale I want the flexibility of a 3x 29mm cluster or a 54mm single. I have seen interchangeable motor mount systems...

I built this rocket several years ago. I don't remember what it is. It has a wood nose cone and I added the Estes 24mm motor retainer. I might have modified a regular kit which is common practice for me. Any ideas what it is?

Anybody know the details or recognize the cool tube rocket on the back cover of the Make: High-Powered Rockets book by Mike Westerfield? It's one sweet rocket!

I have an extra 5.38" LOC nosecone and a short length of matching body tube. I would like to build a stubby tube rocket with them. I have lots of foam core that is easy to reinforce so I'm thinking of a square tube finned lower section that transitions to the 5.38" body tube. Any thoughts on...

Has anybody flown the Estes Ascender on a AT G75M-10, or something thereabouts? Or know where I can find a ROC file for it? OK I found one file on here. Setting up the rocket for tomorrow. I could try the CTI F240 for smiles:)
