Hello everybody. I've been into rocketry since 1998ish. My first kit was an estes Mighty Mites set and that was the gateway for me! I've recently gotten the rocket bug again and from the pictures you can definitely tell. I'm currently around the Okeechobee Florida area closer to Ft Myers...

Hello all, Some of you may have known my mom & dad, James (Jim) & Sharon Turner who lived in the DFW area. My father passed away 20+ years ago and we recently lost my mom to cancer. My parents ran a rocketry supply business (Trailing Edge Technologies) consisting of Aerotech, Dr. Rocket...

Hello! I'm currently developing a small flight computer that captures telemetry on flights, and I want to build in the ability to fly 2-stage High-Power rockets. However, as far as I can tell, Aerotech motor igniters need ~12v 3A, or 36W, to fire. At present I'm struggling to find a MOSFET that...

Hey folks, Merry Christmas! Documenting the build of my level 1 rocket here. I decided to go with the Aerotech G-Force. Reason being - I'm familiar and used to 29mm reloads, and I know that with such a large heavy rocket, an H motor will fly nice, low and slow. Additionally, it's a "somewhat"...

I am new to rocket software, and mid power rockets I want to try OpenRocket and was thinking that some must have made a lot of designs. Is there a place (Website) where there is designs to download ? And then adapt it to my rocket :) I have build a Aerotech Initiator (not mega) and I know that...

Hello everyone, Just ordered a LOC IV and will be attempting a Level 1 flight next month in Lucerne Lake! I want to fly it on an H motor and want to go with the safest and single-use option for this flight. I was thinking Aerotech H100W-14A but not sure if it would handle it well. Especially...

I recently bought the Aerotech Cheetah and do not want to use the engine hook. Instead, I am using an Estes motor retainer. The Aerotech instructions say to slide the thrust ring till it hits the motor hook’s end. Can I get rid of the thrust ring or do I need to use the motor retainer?

Got my L2 over the weekend with Tripoli North Texas! Great time launching and meeting folks. Here’s video of the flight: Flight details in the video description.

A had a great launch with SCORE! Just my photos... not my rockets. It’s hard to do both!!

Well the storm is about 5 hours away. Building with my new rocket kitchen set. It’s overkill but it works great for multiple rockets. Currently, I have 4 in various stages. Scratch True Value Rocket Estes Doorknob MadCow Jayhawk Scratch Stego-rocket on 29mm

My Aerotech G force took a nose dive today due to my fault. I hadn’t flown it in 5 years and forgot it came with a heat dissipating metal sponge and baffle. I loaded dog barf and sent it on it’s merry way with a G74. It went up beautifully but didn’t have enough force to pop open and ate it big...

Hey folks, I am scaling down a tad, keeping everything except 98mm stuff and two reloads that I won't use. I have: 98mm Loki hardware consisting of: 98mm Nozzle carrier .688 throat graphite nozzle for carrier (for the 2 grain 5kns case) fired 3 times Full diameter graphite nozzle, 1 inch...

I am looking for a Dr. Rockets 54/2800 case with closures but also interested in any Dr. Rockets or monster motor cases and matching closures.

There is only one Aerotech reload for the for 38/1320 hardware, the J510. Everyone who has reported, praises the motor. But how many J510s do you burn? Or do you use adapters for 38/1080 and 38/720 reloads to expand the usefulness of the hardware? Or did you buy the case just so you had a full...
