Wow !!!
Awesome work, as always!
Thanks again guys. But does anyone have a company that does dry transfers?

Do you mean Vinyl decals? Like Stickershock does?
No, dry transfers are rub on. They are not vinyl. They are ink with an adhesive on the back. At least I think so. Since they are ink, they are printed and you can get much smaller lettering. Pro-Mark was great but they are now out of business. I talked with Mark, and he does great work, but could not make some of the lettering I needed that small. So I ended up painting on all the markings.

Stenciled?
No, made paint masks on my wife's Circut.
Okay, since you don't want it I will take it off your hands.
Small brass tubing in a wooden handle. Touch it to the aluminum tape and kind of roll it. Don't twist as it cuts the tape then. And just one at a time
Gentlemen at LOC Precision: if you build this, they will buy it!

Thanks, yes flown once on a K2050ST. Motored CATO'd but she still went to 3000' and blew the back end off rocket. Rebuilt and ready to go again. If I ever get the 1706 case from Aerotech.
It is an awesome build and deserved perfection from it's motor.
Ugh. High Power reveals the engineering equation in all its quiet nastiness.

The more parts required for a device to function, the more likely there is to be a failure.
For an HP rocket to fly and return dual deploy, there are a lot of things that need to happen correctly in series at the proper time.
And in general the equipment isn't quite as reliable as its ad copy either.
