Hi Rob, I'm in Mary Esther. Went to Samson last weekend with my grandsons School Rocketry Club. Had a great time until I went into the parts trailer....finally got out after spending a couple hundred bucks LOL. Yes I joined the SEARS Rocketry group and have visited the website. I plan on making this a monthly trek with at least two of my three grands. Good times, people and launches. The BBQ that I believe Chris made up was excellent!
Thanks Huxter
Hi Oz, I like to build anything unique and that looks fun to fly. I'm going through all my boxes of rocketry stuff from over the years just to see whats still good. I can say most builds to date are low power up to C size motors. Picked up a mid power kit at the launch we had last Saturday, so my and my grandkids entry into F and above has begun LOL
Gary,
. Like the infamous Helicat and othe helicopter recovery rockets. They are beautiful when they work correctly LOL. I have been looking for someplace local to get rocketry supplies, are you aware of any? Oh, and I'd like to meet you at the June launch I'd you don't make the May. I'll be the old geriatric geezer driving a red Explorer with anywhere from 1-3 grandkids in tow.LOLOh, was the Zephyr the one the went sideways just off the pad? I wondered what happened.Well, those things hapoen
That wasn't mine. I remember that one. I almost had to stop at Walmart on the way home after that incident.
The mid power motors are most likely to cause a cato. Black powder motors become more likely to have a crack as the size increases and when the flame gets to it........ kaboom. So always treat them with care and don't do anything to put a crack in them. Don't drop them... The composite motors are better, but can be harder to light especially the single use ones. If they don't light with the first e-igniter try, you then have to fight through the charring caused from the first igniter to get it lit. The RMS motors you can take apart and add a little bit of helper..... at the top. G64 is my favourite motor.
