WTR will be conducting it's monthly sport launch next weekend on April 7th and 8th. This should be a great launch as we have several folks coming from out of...
k.... "Egger I" is pretty much complete, other than the technical payload and recovery harness work/configuration. The pin-striping, lettering and clear...
Egger I is tapered from fore to aft. I'm pondering the application of the launch lug. Should the lauch lug be oriented in true orientation to the intended ...
I always find it better to have 2. Otherwise you have to worry about the torque the motor is placing on the rocket with these kinds of rockets where the motor...
Boy, the emails sure do back up when my wife has me working around the house! I apologize for any breakdown in communications for the upcoming contest. Lee...
... Personally, I'd try for a vertical flight. Preferably up. Mounting the launch lug 3 degrees off vertical sounds like trouble. Why tempt fate? A standoff...
... Just as an FYI, most competition egglofters are flown from a tower, without a launch lug. The club owns a tower appropriate for models up to about a ...
It was indicated to me our launch tower is missing some components. I have not been able to attend a launch since then to take a look. My personal tower will...

Well, the lug is not installed. The Egger airframe is tapered fron 2-1/4" at the nose, to 1-1/4" at the (aft) motor mount which is why I am contemplating the...
It's a very, very entry level IT position, almost intern-like. The candidate obviously needs to be technically oriented, but the quality of character for this...
Learn to use towers. They really simplify things and improve performance. I wouldn't recommend them for eggs (although I have seen it done) but piston...
Howdy, y'all! We're down to less than two weeks 'til AARG's All Egg Regional. Twelve days, by my count. I was busy this weekend replacing CV joints or I'd...
To be completely clear my suggestion is to have 2! One nearer the front and one nearer the rear. Now if you just want one near the front that works fine for me...
No launch this coming Easter weekend, Instead we will be hosting the AARG All Eggs Regional/ Huevos Launcheros # ? competition launch on the following weekend...
Yeah, Well I thought my idea was novel, but I observed some eggloft kits/plans and I get the picture, now. thanks, Mark ... one ... at ... attachment ... ...
I entered my first egg lofting contest in 1971 at Johnson Space Center. I place first in the B D ELA event and was hooked. Thirty-six years later, the fun has...
Hello all. The database is, and has been, open. By previewing the setup for Granger in the past, since it's a small field, all we need are volunteers for...
Egg Loft Altitude Egg-streme rules: The winner will have the highest score from the following formula. (Altitude in feet / Motor impulse) + Number of undamaged...
If I get to chose the units of "Motor impulse" I bet I can get mine "real high". Likewise, the ill-defined 'egg' unit can be easily exploited. May the man with...
This is supposed to be a fun contest, and some people seem to have more fun arguing over rules than flying. I am trying to make everyone happy. :-) The rules...
Are you going to have a theodelite available so we can do altitude without an altimeter? I was looking at my available models and motors with the eye on the...
David, I'm sorry. I forgot to include the :-) in my msg. Although those that know me understood. Thanks for taking the effort to do this. If we didn't...
Hello, Does anyone know if we have a 3/8" or 7/16" rod in the trailer? I have an egg themed rocket that needs to use a rod, and I don't think anyone in their...
