Hi all, Just a quick note to say hi, and... to ask for advice on putting my Saturn V back together. It popped apart on the last flight, the piston (with the...
... Your question is interesting. I took my Saturn V apart to see if it could be fixed and it is possible, although mine will never find the sky again. Round...
Has anyone had any success clustering these little things? Any advice on how to do it? I tried once but had a hard time keeping the igniters together and...
I guess the 'cryptic' description would be mine. I filled the nozzle area with black powder and sealed them with masking tape dipped in powder. You could...
Two out of three successful ignitions is about my average on Micro Maxx Igniters on just single engines. How much black powder do you recommend using? Did you...
I have about the same success on regular single engine launches. I found that crud builds up on the contacts inside the launcher and that cleaning them with...

John, I only have Corel9. Can you export it to an older version of Corel? Corel would be preferable to bitmap formats. Dick Stafford TRA #06578 L2, MDRA...
I was getting my MMXII's at Wallymart in Frederick, but I think someone said they dropped them????? Dick Stafford TRA #06578 L2, MDRA #0303 NAR #47992 SR L2,...
Sure Corel-9 is ok, can't go below corel-5, but like I said I'm pretty sure the Bomarc stuff is all pencil and ink drawings. either way I'll have something for...

Here's what I know about what you asked ... From experience I would say 10 grams is about the heaviest rocket you want to launch and aerodynamics is important....
