What did you do rocket wise today?

[prfesser]

It was yesterday, not today, but I flew Starover twice, F42 then G54, at Music City Missile Club's new field. Split a fin slightly on landing the second time, but easily repairable. Also helped a bunch of kids build and fly Alpha rockets, and burnt hot dogs on the grill.

Studied instruction manuals for different dual deploy altimeters. Planning on redundant dual deploy setup for L2, 54mm MD project.

Great to see everyone today at the SARA launch in Tucson. 4-H club youth are great flyers! Beautiful day as you can see from the video. Thanks.

Started uploading a bunch of launches me and my boys have done. This one is my favorite. Their reaction is part of why I love this hobby.

Had fun while relaxing and assembling an eggtimer.

Put the final major piece in place on the Nuclear Sledgehammer, the forward CR and recovery anchor.

Just purchased the boy scouts space exploration rocket. I'm going to try and upscale it x3. Should be an interesting build

Please share a OpenRocket file for that one if you have it, or where to buy it at?

I'm on the road for another week. Open rocket dosen't work on mobile. I'll look for it on my PC when I get home.

Too many rockets need primer and paint.
I've put off working on rockets until paint season.
Can't see making more rockets that can't get finished.
So I'm doing knife restorations and customizations until paint weather comes back.
bts, we are in the midst of our first big Alberta Clipper of 2019.
No school today, already closed again tomorrow.
Sub zero temps (F) wigh 15 to 20 mph winds.
Blowing and drifting snow after the snow stops.
I predict no school on Wednesday either, we'll see.

Put the rail guides I got from Wildman at the last WOOSH frostbite session to good use.

 

[jlabrasca]

Ordered a Badger Airbrush, and a regulator to use it with the air-tool compressor. Tired of rattle cans.

Went flying today !!! Some pics and a video link .....

Spent the day at Aerotech.

After CATOing a couple of E-12s at the last launch I bought some E-16s on the Hobby Lobby 40% off coupon.

"Cause I don't learn good.

 

[neil_w]

E16s aren’t CATO-prone like E12s. Fly and enjoy.

Also, what were those date codes, and have you submitted the MESS report

Nothing there contradicts my post. There are certainly *some* CATOs with every motor. I've seen no evidence that E16s are particularly CATO-prone like E12s or E9s.

 

[kuririn]

Noted. But since I've had TWO catos of E16s two weekends in a row, I'll be avoiding them for a long time. Just speaking from personal experience. Cheers.

 

[neil_w]

Can't argue with that.

Two CATOs in a row tends to sour the whole motor for me too. I don't know how to convince myself that once a motor is suspect, another batch of the same motor is ok. I've started to take the first motor out of every package, put it in a "disposable" rocket, and use that as a verification of the motor package, but even that isn't a great solution.

Spent paper towel unit at work. I think I spot art of a baffle!
