Sadly it looks like I'm not going to be able to fly this at URRF I woke up this morning before school to test out the electronics and switches one last time however I guess it was too early for one of my Eggtimers that didn't want to cooperate. when I turn it on I am not getting the light or any beeping. I tried to flash update it but that didn't solve the problem!!! I am basically stuck in a rut until I get this working because I don't have any more electronics. Hopefully I can get it working again but I have a feeling it is dead.. I will try to contact Cris but I have asked him so many questions already and don't have time to send It to him.

ordered the white today. am going to have to do a lot of sanding and filling this weekend to get rid of the cracks.

 

[conman13]

maybe someone will be willing to lend me an altimeter at URRF to have this bird fly if I don't get mine fixed

 

[conman13]

The build is back on for URRF.


I would like to give a huge shout out to Cerving for the great customer support. He is sending me another eggtimer gratis. He has a great product and replys to your emails fast. Anytime I had a problem with one of them ( which was often) he would be able to solve the problem pronto. Thank you Cris.


Finishing up the sustainer EBay.





Going to get the ejection charge tests done this weekend. Then paint.

I feel your pain, brother. I never figured out what caused it, either.

 

[conman13]

ya it sucks I have sanded most of it out but also picked up some filler/primer to fill in the rest. Yours seem even worse! i am going to have to google it to see what happened.

Let me know if you figure it out. I even contacted Rustoleum, and they couldn't help me.

Did you order it directly through them? It sounds weird.

 

[conman13]

Yes off their website. The receipt said I ordered a 3" nose cone but the one I got for on my 2.56" rocket.

Huh, that's weird. Have you talked to them about replacing it? I think they would.

 

[conman13]

I sent them an email.

My dad was also nice enough to drive 30 mom to get my black powder so I can do my ejection charge tests this weekend.

got my 3'' nosecone today. cut off the bottom part so I can make my detachable tracker sled. Also was able to get the booster primed and ready for paint this weekend. Will prime the rest this weekend as well This is going to be hard to finish with all of my final exams this week but I think I will pull through even if that means I have to put the decals on in the car and clear coat it I my hotel shower

Wow, You are still in school? I finished a week ago... either way, I think you should be able to get it done.
