Wow! I didn't know they were out there! Thanks Sven and everyone who made this happen. The copies posted only go through 1971 though. I would be happy to...
I am in the process of scanning the last five issues for Sven. I also have most of the NAR Model Rocketeer up to the Feb.74 issue located (3 issues still...
...is an accelerator for carpenter's glue! Also waiting half the day and counting for the "30 minute" epoxy to set up on my AstroBlaster rebuild. Something...
... Intuition (and the swing test) will get you a long way and then you have to get analytical. Is software any worse than graph paper or doing the barrowman...
When designing my own rockets, I make a design that seems like it should work, find out where the center of gravity is by balancing it, design some fins that...
In a message dated 9/1/2002 5:02:22 PM Eastern Daylight Time, ... IT depends on the model. Designing the 1/19 scale Astrobee 1500 is 100% centered on scale...
... I agree that fun is the measure, but it just depends on what you're trying to do and what you find fun. If you're just slamming something together, it can...
... AAAAAAAAIIIGH!!!! Much as I hate to cast aspersions on the Good Ol' String Test (tm), but it is to rocket science what voodoo is to biology. Or, to use...
... It seems to happen to a lot of Alphas, especially if it's the first rocket that a kid builds. I've even seen it on a Tangent or two. BTW- I heard that old...
... A really neat piece of software is GliderDesign, despite being a 10 year Mac beta (no final that I could ever find). After I tweaked it and made new data ...
Well there is a model rocket in this picture that I drew (and am kind proud of!).... http://showcase.netins.net/web/flexia/golden.jpg One of my better states...
I have a fair amount of NAR material from the mid-late 1960's, which I may try to scan in and then upload to or burn CD's for some of the archival websites....
... IMO, the best format for this stuff is PDF with some small web previews. Depending on what's on the page, if you cut the resolution down enough to make it...
If you are considering copying a document, then pdf is probably the way to go. The pdf format is widely accepted as a standard for handling documents. The only...
You're correct about the Bertha. That Shatner film is a real hoot. The rockets built for that film were disasters! The launch sequences, shot with a...
Why, a 1/100th Redstone of course. Remember that the Saturn 1 was designed around the redstones forming the 8 tanks. Don't know if the 1B was this way, but...
Software is something us poor Dinosaurs have a hard time with, I am of the school of if it looks right then get your C/G and the string test...... But I have a...
Well, there are certainly levels of rocket design far more advanced than what I do, and for them, well, as I said, the software has its uses. ... From:...
Ladies and Gentlemen; The help of a few volunteers is sorely needed for a very short-term project regarding the Team America Challenge. Response to the TAC has...
I stand corrected. I am rapidly moving from thinking about to actually installing WordPerfect. I recently heard that even Dell is moving away from MS Word and...
I use WF for all of my writtings, not only on this intel box, but even on my old Atari TT030 and Atari 1040ST. So I've been a user of it for some time. The...
