The forecast for tomorrow is not good, so I'll make this decision now, and then people can sleep in if they want to. Hopefully things will be better in a...

Any contests (or ideas) for 2005 or is there usually not enough participation to bother? I would participate in "C" or "D" duration contests because I have...
Greg, Unfortunately, I haven't spent enough time doing the contest director thing (and there hasn't been a lot of interest in contests), so there's nothing...
Just needs to have enough interest now. Duration contests are always easy to mearsure. I could put up a small CF/ fibreglass tube as a prize. Any interests in ...
I still like the idea that you can run contests that you like - by that we assume ones YOU would win. Here are some other contests - see if you can pick the...

Don't forget... Most failed flights when borrowing Glenn's gear Most casing-optional Pro38 attempts Biggest cluster at an ORG HPR launch Most flights on a...
... that we ... The RCK BBQ launch junkyard wars contest was great, i think it'd be better with even more people. The rules could be tweaked a bit but aside...
I am going to glass my cirrus minimum diameter rocket in the near future. It is the first time I am doing this. So far I got the fins done. Should I also glass...
Roland, If you don't plan on separating for dual deployment, you could join the tubes and glass them as one piece. If you would like to set up for altimeter /...
... Separating the BT cleanly is going to be just about impossible if you're expecting to leave the coupler intact. I'm sure Greg will chime in with his...
You don't need to glass the coupler if there is no middle ejection point. I got some sleeve coming that'll make great tube reinforcement. You can borrow my...
A couple of months ago, Glenn told me they usually shelve their "white lightning" motors over the winter because the propellant doesn't work well in cold...
Seeing as how no one wants to hurt my feelings by contradicting what you heard me say, I'll contradict myself. (Not like I haven't done that before.) Aerotech...

Literally " is that a rocket in your pocket?" As to the weather, don't feel bad, with me everything is against me launching... I am not paranoid, I think I...
Well, that is, if whoever has the model launch pad shows up? I have some of the equipment, but not all of it. Would whover has the model gear please confirm...

Hi Glenn, I have the launcher and the wiring for the clips. Someone else has the launch controller and the launch rods. See you there. Will ... some of ... ...
I launched so many rockets yesterday, I forgot to pick one of them up. I must be getting old. How can I forget to go and pick up a 3 foot long rocket ?...
This is for Bill, Do you have any wiring diagrams for the launch controller ? There is a problem with circuit # 5 and I want to trace back the wiring to the...
After examining the black & red rocket I fired last Sunday, I am puzzled as to why the nose cone ejected but not the parachute and shock cord. One would...
If a nose cone doesn't have much mass, when ejected it doesn't have the weight to pull out the laundry against the pressure at the opening. Seen this a couple...

I'll have to look through my old notebooks for a circuit diagram, Will. It's been quite a few years. I've got a short cable that I use when I'm working on the...
Will, You definitely need your wadding to be a compact enough ball that it will act as a piston and push out your recovery gear. The loose wadding and scorch...

Hi Bill, I'm pretty sure the problem with circuit #5 is in the relay. Continuity checks showed all circuits OK, but #5 flickers sometimes. The wiring looks...
Don't remember the relay type, but I probably have some spares around. I usually buy twice as many as I need. They'd be single pole, 12 volt coil, probably...
OK Bill, I guess it's not the relays if the continuity to the LED's is not going through the relay contacts. I noticed when I was soldering the new clips on...
