Put in an order to ACSupply. Some parts, some kits and an AstrocamHD.
Launches look so cool against the snow, especially a skidmark.My favorite rocket season is winter. Bigger fields (lakes), recovery with snowmobile, soft landings.
First flight of the Majestic. I mistakenly aimed the launch rod with the wind and lost sight of the rocket, but finally spotted just before landing over 2000ft away. After correcting the rod, the Arreaux finally got its first flight. I tested a Marco Polo tracker in the payload bay. ARMY4 took some decent images with a Runcam2. ARMY2.6 flew with a 24mm CTI 6 grain motor.

Pulled the overlaying parchment paper from my first attempts at installing brass shear plates in the payload tube and nose cone shoulder (3” LOC tubing and GLR Pinnacle nose cone).

I now have a question…I’ve tapped the body tube / shear plate for 2-56 threads, but what should I do with the plate inset in the nose cone shoulder (currently it is drilled using the No. 50 bit sized for the 2-56 tap). The set also included a No. clearance drill bit, should I use that bit for the nose cone / shear plate?

Yes, yes you may.Completed painting. May I present "Saint Yalga".
Please share where I can buy this candle/rocket holder? Great idea!
As in, "I really think it would work!"Finished the drawings for THUNK!
I finished sealing the spaces of the motor mount on my Anacond-15 so the ejection gas doesn’t escape.

Where is the New guide? I think the one I've been studying is old tooI'm glad I looked at the new level 2 study guide as I had been using the old study guide and didn't realize that they had changed 18 questions out of the 108. I had to go back and hi-light all the correct answers of the 18 questions, now I'll have to start memorizing them, but I should have plenty of time. cold weather has finally arrived here.
