Nice photos! It's been a while since I've been to the Loch Lomond Games - but I'm generally busy between preparing for the band competitions, or the dancing competitions (for my daughter) or the drum major competitions (for my son) - but when I can I like to catch some of the heavy athletic...

Don't have any of your kits - but I did give you a like on Facebook.

I hope someone can help you - I would like to know as well. But I always wonder - when I see questions like this - have you considered asking Apogee? I have bothered them with tons of stupid questions and they always give me a timely and helpful response.

Hope it was a small fire and you put it out soon enough. Things like that can ruin the public's perception of what we do.

I think the shot glass will hold up well. I've used cake decorating couplers - also made out plastic - for engine nozzles on two rockets without any trouble at all (one of them is in my avatar).

Not that you need more non-medical advice - but here is my story: I had lower back pain from doing nothing. I went repeatedly to chiropractors with limited success. Finally one of them told me that the problem was NOT in my back but instead with the muscles on the back of my thighs. They were...

Wonderful news! I have one, and she is my joy.

That is one big motor tube!:eyepop: Do you think Aerotech makes reloadables for that?

Very cool - will use them on my PC - but my iPhone has a photo of my granddaughter and I'm afraid these can't compete with that!

Half Fast

I went though my collection of motors and found some 10.5 mm motors from Apogee. It looks like I fired one (I have a pack of three, and two loose ones). I probably lost the rocket. I noticed Apogee no longer carries these. So I went on eBay to see if I could find anyone selling them (I'm not...

Here's a table I found: https://topflightrecoveryllc.homestead.com/descent_rates.html It would indicate 24 inches.

Nice looking project. I love your approach and your imagination.

One thing I have also done - with regards to primer, is use different colors with each layer. This lets you more easily see where the low spots are.

I've had good luck with spray primer and fine sanding - repeat until desired effect is achieved.

With an ego that big, I think we could handle a little compression.;)

Even if you decide to scrap it (which may be your only solution) I would at least do an autopsy and try to determine what caused this - so you don't do it again.

You are absolutely right. This is exactly the point of Clarke's Laws. The thing is, we tend use existing technology to solve future problems. You never know what new technology is around the corner. The laser is a good example - the transistor another. Can you imagine how big a computer would...

I'm really liking this project. But I have to say, I almost wish you had stopped before this latest addition of beads and rods. However, I suspect your vision will surpass what I am seeing and I am hopeful that it will be as spectacular as what you have done so far.

kid...;)
