I am happy to report that Layne Pemberton of Pemberton Technologies has been re-scheduled for his missed fireside chat on the 31st of October. He really expects to be there this time unless some Zombie llamas come trick or treating.

Oh Lord, not Zombie Llamas....
:bangbang:

But yes, we will be there!
Chaps and spurs at the ready.
 
I WANT YOUR BRAIN!

Oh man, I really didn't need to see those Llama pictures again.

OK, just a bump to let everyone know the Fireside Chat is on schedule and we look forward to to our Halloween event. Trudy will also be available if you have questions for her (the Art Department).
We will be answering questions, refuting charges and dodging bullets as long as you folks would like.
:bangbang:

See you there!!
:bat:
 
Just a friendly bump to remind everyone that we WILL be there on All Hallows Eve for the Fireside Chat.
Below is a shot of part of the Pem-Tech work bench. You will see scratch builds, future releases, crazy ideas, OOP kits, clones and more crazy ideas.

Anything in the picture is free-game during the Chat, Trudy has sworn me to tell the truth, but just during the Fireside Chat. So get your questions and comments together and we'll have a rippen' ole' time.
:bangbang: :bat:
 
Don't forget that Layne will be hosting the Fireside Chat this Halloween.

Have plenty of llama comments handy!:rolleyes:
 
To assist those who may want to ask questions about the various rockets in PemTech picture I decided to take the liberty and number the rockets in the picture.

I think I got all of the major ones.
 
OK, here it is...
To be sure that I do not miss this chat, Trudy tied me to a chair Monday night, and supplied me with soda and chocolate for the duration. Looking forward to talking "Rocket Geek"!

That doesn't look like a llama...

No, instead it looks like a very happy Layne (probably something to do with being tied to the chair) and dog thinking, "Why? Why me? Why do I have to live with the guy with a thing for Llamas?"

:neener:

Nov 01 02:09:26 <les> So, being Halloween, after your accident, any issues with changing into a werellama?
Nov 01 02:09:44 <Pem> BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Nov 01 02:09:52 <WiK> can make a big speech if you want, or just start going down the list for questions ;)
Nov 01 02:10:23 <Pem> Well, thanks everyone for dropping by
Nov 01 02:10:50 <Pem> There is very little chance of me changing into a wereLlama, but stay at your own risk
Nov 01 02:10:53 * hcmbanjo has quit (Quit: Using The Rocketry Forum chat page.)
Nov 01 02:11:13 <Pem> From the top....
Nov 01 02:11:21 <Pem> BlueNija?
Nov 01 02:11:39 <WiK> BlueNinja, Elapid and troj are probably not paying attention, so feel free to skip them
Nov 01 02:11:58 <Pem> Hows about grog then?
Nov 01 02:12:06 * tibadoe has quit (Quit: Using The Rocketry Forum chat page.)
Nov 01 02:12:41 <Pem> les?
Nov 01 02:12:59 <les> Obvious question - when is the next kit coming out, and which one?
Nov 01 02:13:12 <Pem> Oh goodnes...
Nov 01 02:13:25 * briancPASS is now known as brianc
Nov 01 02:13:29 <Pem> We have several in developement
Nov 01 02:13:46 <Pem> But it looks like nothing new will be out by the holidays
Nov 01 02:14:04 <Pem> We are still trying to get the HMAS Bonestell on the market
Nov 01 02:14:30 <Pem> The Beta testers are having issues that I can duplicate
Nov 01 02:15:07 <les> Build issues?
Nov 01 02:15:15 <Pem> Flight issues...
Nov 01 02:15:36 <Pem> Two beta testers have reported that the roket corkscrews on ascent
Nov 01 02:16:07 <Pem> it is stable but that has be baffled
Nov 01 02:16:31 <Pem> It may be the alignment of the outboard rudders
Nov 01 02:17:26 <Pem> OK, we have a double ring fin model we flew at SOuthern Thunder this year that is close to being released
Nov 01 02:17:41 <Pem> https://www.rocketryforum.com/showthread.php?t=6376
Nov 01 02:18:04 <Pem> Check out the image lower on the page, number 17
Nov 01 02:18:32 <SooBaldwin> Is there a photo of the HMAS Bonestell?
Nov 01 02:18:45 <Pem> Give me a sec to locate it..
Nov 01 02:19:17 <Pem> https://www.rocketryforumarchive.com/showthread.php?t=33079
Nov 01 02:19:33 <Pem> this is the MPR version that I have been flying for sometime
Nov 01 02:19:45 <Pem> The LPR version is in Beta testing
Nov 01 02:20:50 <les> Which one has the corkscrew problem?
Nov 01 02:21:12 <Pem> https://www.rocketryforumarchive.com/showthread.php?t=33079&page=3
Nov 01 02:21:28 <Pem> Here she is in full dress
Nov 01 02:21:51 <Pem> The Lpr version
Nov 01 02:21:58 <WiK> mmmmmm
Nov 01 02:22:18 <SooBaldwin> Now that a cool looking rocket
Nov 01 02:22:20 <Pem> So far the rudder issue seems the likely suspect
Nov 01 02:22:24 <Pem> Thanks
Nov 01 02:22:25 <SooBaldwin> thank you for the pics
Nov 01 02:22:43 <Pem> My twp LRP versions fly great
Nov 01 02:22:48 <Pem> your are welcome
Nov 01 02:23:53 <Pem> https://www.rocketryforumarchive.com/showthread.php?t=33079&page=4
Nov 01 02:24:00 <Pem> and thos are flight pics
Nov 01 02:24:41 <Pem> We are looking into having the wings and rudders laser cut to avoide the alignment issue
Nov 01 02:24:50 <Pem> on the LPR version
Nov 01 02:25:16 <les> Will you release the MPR version?
Nov 01 02:26:14 <Pem> Eventuall yes
Nov 01 02:26:20 <Pem> Eventually
Nov 01 02:26:29 <Pem> can'r spill
Nov 01 02:26:59 <Pem> The MPR version is pretty much ready for Beta testing
Nov 01 02:27:16 <SooBaldwin> What are the deminsions on the MPR version?
Nov 01 02:27:19 <Pem> But we wanted to get the LPR version out first
Nov 01 02:27:24 <Pem> https://www.rocketryforumarchive.com/showpost.php?p=469149&postcount=4
Nov 01 02:27:41 <Pem> Here is the LPR version in primer
Nov 01 02:28:07 <Pem> the MPR is 2.6" in diameter,
Nov 01 02:29:12 <SooBaldwin> That will be a neat bird. Have to keep following that one.
Nov 01 02:29:25 <Pem> 31 inches long
Nov 01 02:29:33 <SooBaldwin> Of course the LPR one will have to be added to my list
Nov 01 02:30:02 <Pem> with a 20.6 wingspan
Nov 01 02:30:58 <Pem> We have been looking at releasing a cool little retro called Redshift
Nov 01 02:31:22 <Pem> it is #7 on the afore mentioned picture
Nov 01 02:32:03 <Pem> 2.6" in dia, 24mm motor with 1/16" ply fins
Nov 01 02:32:14 <SooBaldwin> On the MPR version, surface mounted fins or through the tube?
Nov 01 02:32:23 <Pem> pretty much a nose cone, a tail cone and a 1 inch body tube
Nov 01 02:32:34 <Pem> TTW on both versions
Nov 01 02:32:42 <SooBaldwin> cool
Nov 01 02:33:10 <Pem> with wings that large even balsa needs TTW
Nov 01 02:33:31 <Pem> Any other questions?
Nov 01 02:33:47 <brianc> OK, I'll admit to not currently owning any PT kits... Which kit you would consider the #1 'must have'? And why? (hint - I like all kinds and skill levels)
Nov 01 02:34:06 <Pem> *SHOCK*
Nov 01 02:34:21 <Pem> Well, we will have to see about fixing that..
Nov 01 02:34:22 <Pem> OK..
Nov 01 02:34:34 <Pem> Our #1 kit is the Kraken
Nov 01 02:34:49 <Pem> the LPR or MPR
Nov 01 02:35:03 <Pem> there is nothing else on the market like them
Nov 01 02:36:04 <Pem> For those not familar with the Krkens, they are sculpted tube fins with extended leading edges
Nov 01 02:36:12 <Pem> Krakens
Nov 01 02:36:20 <les> I vouch that the Kraken (LPR) is a great kit. You can see my review on EMRR
Nov 01 02:36:22 <Pem> sell can'r spill
Nov 01 02:36:46 <Pem> Thanks Les
Nov 01 02:36:58 <Pem> they are easy to build
Nov 01 02:37:02 <Pem> fun to fly
Nov 01 02:37:06 <les> It's the wereLlama changing your fingers into hoofs...
Nov 01 02:37:16 <WiK> lol
Nov 01 02:37:33 <Pem> hdjkskf fkslduwe iccgf
Nov 01 02:38:27 <grog> What's the #16 in your photo?
Nov 01 02:38:29 <Pem> The King Kraken is a 3" dia monster that goes together quick, is super tough and flys on almost anything from a F40 to an I240
Nov 01 02:38:49 <Pem> #16 is the Arturus
Nov 01 02:39:15 <Pem> She is our first "futuristic" sci-fi kit
Nov 01 02:39:34 <Pem> 41" long with a 24mm MM
Nov 01 02:40:19 <Pem> This is second verion of the Arutrus
Nov 01 02:40:36 <les> When will it be available???? (and yes - I'm pushing for more of your great kits)
Nov 01 02:40:48 <Pem> the first was a 3" version of heavy tubing, but we decided to thry light weight 2.6" tubing
Nov 01 02:40:58 <SooBaldwin> On the Kraken, so you have to cut the angles on the tubing?
Nov 01 02:41:25 <Pem> The Arcturus is still in developemnt, next year, maybe
Nov 01 02:41:41 <Pem> Yes, on the Kraken and King Kraken you have to cut the angles
Nov 01 02:41:57 <les> But they are easy to cut
Nov 01 02:42:06 <Pem> but it is super easy, the Destructions give you step by step directions
Nov 01 02:42:29 <Pem> Yeah, what he said..
Nov 01 02:42:45 <Pem> Speaking of the King Kraken...
Nov 01 02:42:47 <SooBaldwin> I have to admit I don't have any of your kits yet either but have been wanting one of the space arks for quite a while
Nov 01 02:43:07 * Peartree ([email protected]) has joined #TheRocketryForum
Nov 01 02:43:14 <Pem> We would be glad to share one with you..
Nov 01 02:43:15 <WiK> hey john
Nov 01 02:43:23 <Pem> The Space Ark is our sign ature kit
Nov 01 02:43:31 <Pem> John! Welcome!
Nov 01 02:43:41 <Peartree> Hullo!
Nov 01 02:43:49 <Pem> Back to the King Kraen for just a short bit
Nov 01 02:44:15 <Pem> we just recently went with shorter section of tubing and added a coupler
Nov 01 02:44:35 <Pem> this drops the shipping costs from $22 to more like $15
Nov 01 02:44:58 <Pem> Those long boxes are murder...
Nov 01 02:45:16 <Pem> ANy more question before we move onto John?
Nov 01 02:45:53 <Peartree> I really just popped int to see what's going on. I've got nothing. Pass.
Nov 01 02:46:02 <Pem> :p
Nov 01 02:46:10 <Pem> NEXT!
Nov 01 02:46:32 <Pem> Don't make me go WereLlama
Nov 01 02:47:52 <brianc> Been eyeing the Bucky Jones too. Any trouble protecting those loooong pointy fins on landing?
Nov 01 02:47:56 <Pem> Just a quick announcement then: Just recently Apogee ROckets began carrying our kits!
Nov 01 02:48:04 <Pem> HAHAHAHAHAH
Nov 01 02:48:06 <Pem> NO!
Nov 01 02:48:14 <Pem> Well, yes but we take care of that
Nov 01 02:48:27 <Pem> The kit is equipped with horizontal recovery
Nov 01 02:48:56 <Pem> it comes with KEVLAR cord that you make into a harness
Nov 01 02:49:09 <Pem> in connection with the shock cord
Nov 01 02:49:20 <Pem> the Bucky comes down on hi s belly
Nov 01 02:49:50 * Thorn ([email protected]) has joined #TheRocketryForum
Nov 01 02:50:32 <Pem> As further protection you could glass them, but the only time I have broken a fin was during transport to a launch
Nov 01 02:50:42 <Pem> THORN!
Nov 01 02:51:10 <brianc> Do you know if anyone has bashed one into the Futurama rocket?
Nov 01 02:51:26 <brianc> "D
Nov 01 02:51:32 <Pem> No, not that I know of
Nov 01 02:51:42 <Pem> But that would be a cool idea
Nov 01 02:51:54 <Peartree> How often do you get out to test fly your designs?
Nov 01 02:52:01 <Pem> Love the Futurama rocket
Nov 01 02:52:08 <Pem> :(
Nov 01 02:52:17 <Pem> Sadly, not much anymore...
Nov 01 02:52:23 * brianc is now known as briancPASS
Nov 01 02:52:38 <Pem> When we moved from Ward I lost my flying field
Nov 01 02:52:59 <Pem> The great hay field you see in all of our launch videos
Nov 01 02:53:18 <Pem> Trudy has been trying to find us one close by, but nothing so far
Nov 01 02:53:37 <Pem> Used to fly once a week, when the field was a mile from the house

Nov 01 02:54:08 <Pem> Living close to the city blows
Nov 01 02:54:30 <Peartree> I hope never to live near the city again.
Nov 01 02:54:47 <Pem> Yesterday I was actually considering micro max just so I could fly in the back yard
Nov 01 02:55:16 <Pem> We are in the "burbs" but that is too close for me
Nov 01 02:55:49 <Pem> But that would open a whole new area for us
Nov 01 02:56:07 * RandyT0001 ([email protected]) has joined #TheRocketryForum
Nov 01 02:56:18 <Pem> We could produce a lot of tiny cool kits
Nov 01 02:56:44 <Pem> The floor is open for questions
Nov 01 02:56:48 <Pem> comment
Nov 01 02:56:54 <Pem> or accusations
Nov 01 02:56:59 <les> Sorry - MMX does not "do it" for me
Nov 01 02:57:13 <Pem> I never even considered it before either
Nov 01 02:57:24 <les> I went quiet since I seem to be monopolizing the chat. I do want to take the opportunity to thank you for all the great kits - different from the standard 3FNC
Nov 01 02:57:27 <RandyT0001> Sorry to interrupt but my chat connection was fubar'd before Hope I didn't miss much (just an hour)
Nov 01 02:57:39 <Pem> But being able to step out back and burn a couple is an attractive alternative
Nov 01 02:58:01 <Pem> Thank you Les
Nov 01 02:58:07 <Pem> That is our goal
Nov 01 02:58:13 <Pem> More than 3FNC
Nov 01 02:58:30 <Pem> Actually, that is why our first kit was the 3FNC
Nov 01 02:58:56 <Pem> sort of a poke in the eye of all those boring tube and fin jobs out there
Nov 01 03:00:01 <Peartree> Ever thought about gliders?
Nov 01 03:00:11 <Pem> But, I have to say that the rocket industry is now producing the greatest variaty of kits sonce the ole' Mars Lander and Andromeda days
Nov 01 03:00:25 <Pem> Actually..
Nov 01 03:00:28 <Pem> *cough*
Nov 01 03:00:35 <Pem> I have never flown one..
Nov 01 03:01:01 <Pem> Well, I have flown aa SST glider and the old Estes floding wing job
Nov 01 03:01:19 <Pem> What is that kit called?
Nov 01 03:01:35 * hcmbanjo has quit (Quit: Using The Rocketry Forum chat page.)
Nov 01 03:01:53 <Pem> Welcome back Randy, we are just getting started
Nov 01 03:02:52 <RandyT0001> When you design a model do you start with concept and draw some or do you see something (like a car body styling or plane) and proceed from there?
Nov 01 03:03:08 <Pem> Good question....
Nov 01 03:03:28 <Pem> Yhe process is self running
Nov 01 03:03:56 <Pem> Usually I will see something, in my head or a car, or an other object and the wheels start turning
Nov 01 03:04:20 * Peartree has quit (Quit: Using The Rocketry Forum chat page.)
Nov 01 03:04:50 <Pem> My favorite method is watching old sci-fi movies
Nov 01 03:05:15 <Pem> finding a wiicked cool silver ship that was never meant to fly
Nov 01 03:05:23 <Pem> then reverse engineering it
Nov 01 03:05:39 <Pem> and then make it fly
Nov 01 03:05:53 * RandyT0001 has quit (Ping timeout)
Nov 01 03:06:08 <les> Do you use any design software, like spacecad or rocksim?
Nov 01 03:06:14 <Pem> On occasion I have started out with an ide that I wanted
Nov 01 03:06:23 * RandyT0001 ([email protected]) has joined #TheRocketryForum
Nov 01 03:06:38 <Pem> like a heavy lift vehicle or a manne launch vehicle
Nov 01 03:06:55 <Pem> I use Rocksim
Nov 01 03:07:21 <Pem> It will simulate most of the design I come up with

Nov 01 03:07:27 * RandyT0001 ([email protected]) has joined #TheRocketryForum
Nov 01 03:07:39 <Pem> but there are those that I just have to eyeball
Nov 01 03:08:07 <Pem> But that is usually the last step..
Nov 01 03:09:16 <Pem> Trudy is trying to log on but is having troub;e
Nov 01 03:09:30 <Pem> it is telling her, Invalid User Name
Nov 01 03:09:40 <Pem> can we get a hand?
Nov 01 03:09:53 <WiK> hmm
Nov 01 03:09:56 <WiK> what's her TRF username?
Nov 01 03:10:27 <Pem> PemTech's Squeeze
Nov 01 03:10:38 * WiK won't ask...
Nov 01 03:11:00 <Pem> hee hee hee
Nov 01 03:11:04 * WiK digs up an alternative link, 1 moment

Nov 01 03:11:29 <Pem> wait..
Nov 01 03:11:40 <Pem> dman spillng
Nov 01 03:12:11 <RandyT0001> Do you use software (like RocSim, VCP, etc.) to help design rockets?
Nov 01 03:12:14 <WiK> ok, send her here - https://www.mibbit.com/chat/?server=irc.hashnet.org&channel=#TheRocketryForum
Nov 01 03:12:24 <Pem> Yes, Rocksim
Nov 01 03:12:57 <WiK> if you have any more trouble I'd sugggest that link, Randy
Nov 01 03:13:21 <les> Before you discussed #17 briefly - it looks similar to the old Estes Manta. Is it based on that?
Nov 01 03:14:23 <Pem> Yes, that was the original seed of idea
Nov 01 03:14:56 <Pem> ALways loved tail rings and it is such a clssic
Nov 01 03:15:19 * RandyT0001 has quit (Ping timeout)
Nov 01 03:15:20 <les> It looks like it had a hard landing (or 2)
Nov 01 03:15:26 <Pem> Care to guess what the nose cone is made of
Nov 01 03:15:39 <WiK> tic tac box?

Nov 01 03:19:18 <les> What is the nose cone made from?
Nov 01 03:19:20 <Pem> Nope...
Nov 01 03:19:29 <WiK> still no luck?

Nov 01 03:24:16 <pemtech1j> Anyone local?
Nov 01 03:24:27 <pemtech1j> Anyone have a Pemberton Tech rocket already?
Nov 01 03:24:34 <briancPASS> local to Planet Earth... ;)
Nov 01 03:24:42 <pemtech1j> Snerk-!
Nov 01 03:24:59 <les> I've got 4, but I humbly admit I've only built the Kraken
Nov 01 03:25:07 <pemtech1j> lol, that's fine.
Nov 01 03:25:22 <pemtech1j> I don't even want to know how many my darling Layne has unbuilt.
Nov 01 03:25:28 <pemtech1j> I'm sure it's around 40!!
Nov 01 03:25:35 <briancPASS> I admited to not having any earlier, but have been eyeing the line-up
Nov 01 03:25:55 * briancPASS is now known as brainc
Nov 01 03:25:59 <pemtech1j> I recall seeing along thread about that a while back. The backload of shame. :)
Nov 01 03:26:04 * brainc is now known as brianc
Nov 01 03:26:08 <les> ONLY 40?
Nov 01 03:26:48 <pemtech1j> Er.. Layne sez "in the box or just laying around??" 8o
Nov 01 03:27:19 <pemtech1j> It may be my java is up to snuff.
Nov 01 03:27:36 <pemtech1j> Any ideas on gettin gme on there at same time, different computer??
Nov 01 03:27:55 <pemtech1j> It says I'm there by whatever I type doesn't post, and it lists having only 1 user.
Nov 01 03:28:06 <WiK> did you copy the URL or re-type it?
Nov 01 03:28:11 <pemtech1j> both
Nov 01 03:28:15 <WiK> hmm
Nov 01 03:28:24 <WiK> try going straight to www.mibbit.com and...
Nov 01 03:28:26 <pemtech1j> @Les How did your build of the Kraen go?
Nov 01 03:28:53 <WiK> hit "Start Chatting Now", on the next page click the Server link
Nov 01 03:29:02 <les> Great - nice and simple. Flew great. I did a writeup in EMRR
Nov 01 03:29:19 <WiK> put irc.hashnet.org as the server address, whatever you want for a nick and #TheRocketryForum in the channel box, and hit Go
Nov 01 03:29:20 <pemtech1j> Did you stick with the so far "traditional" black and red pain job? -asks the glorified Art Department of Pemtec
 
Nov 01 03:29:26 <pemtech1j> Ooo! Cool!! Thanks!!!
Nov 01 03:29:40 <pemtech1j> Thanks ot les, let me clarify
Nov 01 03:30:07 <pemtech1j> @WK it says "server address:"
Nov 01 03:30:20 <WiK> irc.hashnet.org
Nov 01 03:30:41 <pemtech1j> Ok, he's trying that for me. Thanks.
Nov 01 03:30:52 <pemtech1j> So anyone talking rockets then?
Nov 01 03:31:04 <pemtech1j> Or do I start talking about his boxers or something ;D

Nov 01 03:31:18 <brianc> Llamas
Nov 01 03:31:20 <WiK> well he has been talking about your corset ;)
Nov 01 03:31:29 <pemtech1j> I made him some groovy boxers last year for Christmas
Nov 01 03:31:40 <pemtech1j> True, no pictures allow. PG forum and all that.
Nov 01 03:32:12 <pemtech1j> No pics of corset allowed. However...
Nov 01 03:32:23 <pemtech1j> I think there were some pictures of the boxers posted.
Nov 01 03:32:32 <pemtech1j> If not I'll have to make sure they are! :)
Nov 01 03:32:39 * hazegry has quit (Quit: did I do that?)

Nov 01 03:33:19 <pemtech1j> fm Layne: ask me questions guys! She can type faster than I can
Nov 01 03:33:31 <les> Back to the Kraken, I added a touch of yellow on the edge of the tube fins and the canards. You can see my paint job here https://www.rocketreviews.com/reviews/all/pem_kraken.shtml (not sure if the link will work)

Nov 01 03:36:57 <pemtech1j> fm T: Ooh!! He's joining me on the Cuddler lounger!! WOOT!
Nov 01 03:37:05 <les> Looks good - if you produce the kit will you be able to get enough bottles from Target?
Nov 01 03:37:08 <pemtech1j> fm L: I'm here and ready for questions fellas

Nov 01 03:39:51 <pemtech1j> fm L: Sadly no. Said llama tasted quite good, and no longer needs any sort of dental work.
Nov 01 03:40:15 <pemtech1j> fm L:I'll shout your regards for him down the loo though! :D

Nov 01 03:43:09 <pemtech1j> fm L: the landing pods are proving to be a bit tricky
Nov 01 03:43:27 <les> Are the fins cut to accept the tube and cone, or is the cone cut in half?

Nov 01 03:43:50 <pemtech1j> fm L: The nosecones are cut in two

Nov 01 03:52:44 <pemtech1j> fm T: actually he won't wear them as the Sharpie would fade, and keeps them safely tucked away.

Paul,
We wish you could have been there too.
Just so you know, I am still jealous of how well your Bucky turned out. Makes mine look like an AMC Gremlin.
:neener:
 
Yeah, glad the transcript was posted..I decided to be a nice guy and go in and work(on my day off at that!)..A little more jingle in the pocket always helps!;)
