Hi Gang: My First Micro of the New Year is complete: Finished and Decaled the T3 version of Estes Solar Flare last night. She's a Big Beasty .375" with a BT-55...
John, I know you are YEARS ahead (no dig intended) of me in this hobby and miles ahead on painting and finishing, but in my LIMITED experience I prefer to use...
John: Well they've become pretty automatic but yes I have a few reasons for my application procedure. White primer could have saved the white gloss base coat...
Have you looked into mylar gift wrap? Some of the water rocket guys found it saved weight compared to paint when squeezing the last bit of altitude out of...
I don't quite get the Mylar gift wrap reference?? What does that have to do with Polycarbonate lamp covers? I've used Mylar give wrapping for both streamers...
... According to some of the water rocket guys, it's lighter than paint. ... Many kinds of paint don't adhere well to Polycarbonate. ... I asked about...
... paint. Well Daniel: I suppose it could be lighter if your counting both Primer and Paint film but; I kinda doubt it taking into consideration adding ...
I'll tell you guys right off the top, the T3 Solar Flare is a DUD! with that 15.2g liftoff weight she only got about 10-12feet off the pad in a 7-10mph wind....
Actually, I'm in Wisconsin. The people I asked about the film are in Australia. Apparently water rockets are quite popular there because of tighter regulations...

... to ... fly ... John, Even more notable (IMO) is the listing for MMXII of delays of "1, NE", which presumably means 1 second and no ejection. What's up...
Hummm....Need to read closer, I don't know what that means? I was doing some Booster motor research over the weekend, and I can tell you for sure there is...
I was wondering how long it would take you to notice. The page was updated on Sunday. My only hand in this was doing the testing when Quest sent us the motors....
Don't waste your time trying to view that video. I had no idea YouTube compressed that much. In the high resolution version you can see the thrust time curve...
Bill: So what happened to the ejection charge? Does the motor now rely on motor burnthru to produce enough gas for recovery deployment? is Quest trying to...
Maybe you can post it in the MM group files of Yahoo? I read your explanation at the bottom of the cert file pdf. Since I have never seen this before, is your...
