Is it possible to make strap on boosters for some my scratch builts? like on the Space Shuttle. I want the boosters to fall off when the 2 boosters eject.
 
Check the members list. Sort it by date joined and you'll find a new member by the name of Ray Dunakin. He sells a set of strap-on booster hardware that looks really impressive. I'd contact him if I were you.
 
If you do contact him, let us know what he has and how it works.... this sounds pretty cool
 
Gerbs,

I have successfully flown a rocket with boosters using Ray's method. It really isn't too hard. Below are some pics of my rocket. It flew on 2 E30s + 1 G80.

Here's the link to Ray Dunakin's booster projects and where you can learn how to build them:
