Phil here,except for two launches I have hauled the launch gear for about a year,I feel it is time for someone else to take on these duties.Whoever does take...
As Phil mentioned, he is transporting the equipment for a long time. I am willing to take over from him for the time. I am not sure yet if I am at the next...
Phil, I told you a thousand times not to exaggerate......... Phil has been hauling the gear since January (I had it before that), and the normal term is 3...
Glenn brings up some cold hard realities! I want to help out with this but I just don't have a vehicle that could deal with an 8' launch rail - I'll have...
Hi Bill, Teresa and Roland, Are you guys coming to Rage at the Gage this year? Anyone else? Glenn? I think the dates are August 30th and Sept 1st and 2nd and...
Before anyone asks, Bill and I did it for about 7 years or more, so 7 months is just short haul. I am proud to say that I live in Stittsville and not Ottawa! ...
I don't mind bringing the equipment. Since the 8 foot rail does not fit into a normal car including mine, I was looking to find a solution to have it at the...
The G-switch on my timer for my air start rocket does work reliably. By swinging it as hard as I can, I could only trigger it once. I triggered an other...

Hi All As I read these, it seems to be getting more and more complicated. Is it possible to cut the 8 foot rail in half and then bracket it together each time...
They're a bit tough to find, Roland - I should have a couple around though. Show me the one you've got, and I'll be able to tell whether I have a replacement. ...
Pam, It should be possible to cut the rail in half and make a couple of joiner plates that would bolt onto the sides of it. I can take a look at doing that. In...
Tom, Doesn't look like Teresa and I will make it out this year - we've got a trip to NYC planned for that weekend. Perhaps next year. Bill _____ From:...
Good idea Pam - so much easier than my shenannigans! Can I make the suggestion of attaching the joiner plates in the appropriate location BEFORE cutting the...
The manual that came with my Perfectflite HiAlt45K altimeter suggests using a "normally closed" switch so that one can rig it up in such a way that the...
... Traditionally, people used mini phono jacks - mono 1/8" ones, that had integral switches. These are the ones that when the earphone is plugged in, the...
Hey Bill, Darn! And I was looking forward to seeing you guys! I haven't seen the dates yet, but perhaps I'll see you in Quebec this fall. Have a great day, Tom...
Phil here,hope the heading was not too dramatic!I just went down to my local hobby store(discount hobbies)and was picking up my engine order.I was surprised to...
Thanks Chris - I found the screw-in switches you mention at Coast Rocketry - looks like a good solution. Being a Scotsman at heart, I'm thinking one could...

Hi Guys, A little while back, I remember something about this on the CanadianRocketry list (March 2007). As I recall, these motors were approved as 1.3C by ERD...

Theresa, I don't mind. I said I will take it for the time being. I am at most launches, except when I fly out of town. Yes, we should switch every few month,...
I've agreed previously to take the launch equipment, and I expect that once the 8' rail is split, there'll be no impediment to my doing so - my car isn't very...
