Now that's a dedicated team, with all that was going on around them they all stayed focused on taking the team photo. Of course they missed some opportunities...
... Now give Dave some space on your website so he can post photo's of his SuperRoc. Fool's day would be a great day for Dave to send it in. :) <<<<< Well, all...
Hello, I'm a new group member. My name is Doug Trebor. Just geting into contest rocketry, but have flown quite a bit of fun stuff since I was 12. Hopefully...
Welcome aboard, we can use some fresh questions in this group, and it's always good to know what people new to contest are thinking, maybe it can help us tweak...
Hi, Doug . . . Welcome to ContestRoc ! Where are you located ? Dave Fitch ****************************************************************************** ...
I've decided not to post on Contestroc for awhile, since it seems it's OK for a person to lie on Contestroc but it's not OK not for anyone else to EVER make a...
Now that the big TARC push is over, I can finally get cracking on finishing up some contest models for ECRM. Is anyone else planning on heading off to...
Bruce, I don't think there is an official hotel, but Rod and I and Glenn are going to stay at the Super 8 in Ashland? I think it's a few miles further away...
Have some basic information for ECRM-35 being held April 19-20 at Pole Green Park in the Richmond VA area. No entry fee, however will accept donations to help...
Dave, do you need directions to Richmond? straight up I-85 to I-95 to I-295, then exit 38A Pole Green Rd, then 3.5 miles to Pole Green Park on the left. Tom ...
Ryan and Greg --- So do you guys then take, say, 2 lipo 3.7V 150mAh and connect them in parallel (or series)? In your answer, it's probably best to assume I...
LOL. If you know next to nothing about electronics, you might want to see if you can find someone nearby help you with it. These cells have delicate tabs and ...
... and ... To power a RC glider, you need to connect 2 3.7 V lipo cells in series, and then you need a voltage regulator to step it down from the 7.4 volts to...
I think I'm actually somewhere between knowing nothing and knowing enough to be dangerous... I'm wondering (and I know this has been discussed before, so I am...
... If this is your first RC rocket glider (or worse yet, first RC model of any sorts), I'd just stick with the NIMH pack for the time being (assuming you...
Advantages: - Lighter for the capacity (my 170MaH packs with regulator are roughly 11gr). - Very low self-discharge (Lithium packs charged last week are still...
Thanks for the info Ryan --- I am indeed trying to build my first RC rocket-boosted glider, although I have been flying 2 and 3 channel electric park flyers...
... Even for a bunch of cheaters, we are not half bad. :) ... Fight those urges, for the time being. Get something working and reliable, then worry about a...
Ryan --- I didn't follow your comment about "cheaters". On those individual KAN 160 mAh cells, how many of those do you link up in series? What are the...
... It was a joke (hence the smiley). In my case, a bit of self depreciating humor. ;-) ... up ... Generally 4. Most folks will run a glider at 4 cells and...
One more stupid electronics question and I will leave you alone: Is it normal when measuring mA (with a multi-meter) for the reading to keep falling as you are...
Yup, that's how they work. Greg (FA) Stewart ... From: contestRoc@yahoogroups.com [mailto:contestRoc@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Patrick Peterson Sent:...
