Wow - the penetration of this stuff is unreal. The bottom of my rocket tube soaked it up when gluing in the motor mount and is real solid now. The mixing...
... We use 30ml plastic medicine cups (also available from LV), and use the graduations on them to approximate the 5:1. Of late, I simply eye-ball it...
For the a smaller amounts with pumps I've got an idea but I have no clue if it would work. Put some spacers of the same length in both pumps, that way the...
All, Glenn, Doug and I seem to be making other plans for Easter Sunday, so there's a possibility that there won't be anyone to run the launch. Certainly...
I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work, Alex. You could probably find some tubing which was a snug fit over the pump shaft and slit it down one side so...
Alex, That is a good idea. If the proportions did not work then you could adjust the size of the spacers. Personally, that is too much work for me and I just...
Walmart @ Southkeys has a couple of these cameras but they are only 16mb onboard storage and 2.0megapixel. The capability of stills was impressive with 4x...
All I put my name forward and was accepted to run the model rocket launch on Easter Sunday March 27th. I assume the attendance will be lower than normal that...
My wife and son are going away for three weeks starting on the 12th (the day before my birthday - the nerve!!). If I can manage to drag myself out of bed and...
I'll be there too Roland. Thanks for taking on the task of running the launch. Rich ... launch on Easter Sunday March 27th. ... maybe the week before the...
Roland I plan on making the next launch but as to the Easter Sunday that is an uncertainty. I am on call that weekend so I can't commit to it. I now have the...
Thanks Alex and Bill - That's a great idea. **************************************************************************************************************** ...
If the launch is a go on Sunday, can someone bring some D12-3 engines ? I can trade you a D12-5 for a D12-3. This is for our double rocket/dual deployment...
We would like to remind you of this upcoming event. ORG Launch Date: Sunday, March 13, 2005 Time: 10:00AM - 4:00PM EST (GMT-05:00) Model Rocket Launch at...

Will, I've got a bunch. More than happy to trade with you. Can't wait to see it go off this time! Rich...
Does anyone have any thoughts on launching a 2 pound rocket with 1/2" lugs on a 1/4" rod? I've got a very full car this weekend, and I can't find room for my...
Hi Richard, I have no idea if this is OK but what you could do is just bring your 1/2" launch rod only, and we can put it on the quad pod for that rocket. Then...
Richard, On several of my rockets, I have both rail buttons and lugs. I know Glenn has a couple equipped that way as well. If there's nothing on the rocket...
Ken will be coming to Ottawa tomorrow. If anyone needs anything, please give me a call today on my cell phone: 613-540-4368 and he can bring it with him....
Hee hee hee.......thanx guys Just a footnote : we did not get a permit to fly HPR this weekend, so it's just the regular stuff. Glenn ... From: William Hughes...
Looks like a great day for flying. Clear skies, low winds this morning, picking up a bit in the afternoon. Again, we did not get a permit for HPR this weekend,...
Thanks Doug! Got your reply when I arrived home on Monday, that's why I didn't say anything at the launch. Ya, I've got some buttons coming, as well as some...
We had another good launch day yesterday with many "F" and "G" rockets flying (in spite of the wind). Nothing drifted more than about 1000 feet. I would like...
Will, Thanks for taking care of the launch gear. It's in better shape than it has been for quite a while. We'll look forward to seeing you in a couple of...
What is a good colour and substance for high altitude rockets where hi visibility is needed at 7000ft? I have a little rocket that needs some ejection...
Chalk or Tempera paint seem to work pretty well. You need a fair amount of it, and the challenge is to keep it from plugging the airframe (it's prone to...
