One of the few guitarists that you can recognize immediately by their sound. He'll be missed, for sure.

It it was shipping on 4/9 or 4/11 then you're missing a big bag of parts that has the AV bay hardware/wiring. We shipped them out on Wednesday to all customers that had shipments go out on those days.

Damn I wish we could get Loki in CA...

We built all of our prototypes using Bob Smith 5-minute epoxy. Titebond yellow would be fine too. West is probably overkill... but if you already have a ton of it laying around, better to use it than let it age out.

Home away from home when I was in school...

Yup, it doesn't make sense to me that a static firing wouldn't have the same safety guidelines as a flight. If anything, the chance of a cato is higher with a static firing... you're trying to see if it's going to work, right?

Why don't you just fly it and get some data that way?

The entire excursion into Gaza was that. After the attack on Israel last October, somebody commented that Hamas had put Israel into a no-win position... if they go after them in Gaza it will be a bloody mess, if they show restraint the government will get roasted at home. Politicians being...

I remember people saying how worthless the Brat was... and guess what? Hyundai just came out with a mini pickup, and I bet some others do too. Those bed-mounted jump seats were scary...

I doubt Baldwin will be found criminally liable, but there's a pretty good case for finding him civilly negligent.

This is an unfortunate incident, however it is positive to the club and NAR/Tripoli that the media is reporting that they were not involved in the fire. Unless we hear definitively why the club declined to assist the college students, any comments on that matter are pure speculation and don't...

Darn near any 2S Lipo that will fit in the AV bay will work... you can probably get by with a really small one, maybe 200 mAH, and it will save you some weight over a 6LR61 9V battery. I got a few flights with the EZ-DD in at ROC yesterday before the wind kicked in, went to about 2600' on a DMS...

FYI, it has come to our attention that some of the kits may have been sent out without the bag that contains the hardware and wiring bits for the AV bay. Let me know if you're missing them... we're going to be proactive and send out emails to each purchaser, however it won't be until Tuesday...

Overlap them in-line, twist them together, then solder. You'll want to cover them with some heat shrink tubing, too. You'll need a "third hands" to hold the wires.

I've never had any problems joining pigtails, if it's like 18 ga and you're going to 22 ga then you may want to actually clip off some of the stands on the 18 ga cable.

Estes had some problems with crumbly nozzles awhile back. Inspect them carefully... if the nozzle looks intact, the clay is probably from the ejection side, and shouldn't be a big deal. A pinch of dog barf over the top with a little masking tape will fix that.

My HS best friend liked Vega's so much that he had two of them... and of course both of them blew the motors up. Aluminum block, cast iron heads... bad combination. It was always one overheat away from a cracked block.

Folk/Bluegrass/Progressive Rock/Jazz... this was a really cool album, no airplay whatsoever.

So I did a test with some shooter wire and #40 nichrome, the EZ-DD altimeter easily lit the nichrome. I used a fresh Amazon Basics 6LR61 9V battery (voltage beep-out was 9.7V). You can use that, but I would recommend dipping the head in some kind of pyrogen. I will "probably" light BP...

I'm with SolarYellow, an Estes F15 isn't enough for an Argent. Any of the Aerotech 29/40-120 F's and G's would be fine, and you could cert L1 with a small H. The Argent is a solid rocket.
