EVERYONE PLEASE READ THIS

Glad to see you're feeling up to getting back behind the keyboard!

-Kev> My "BIG" project ...

----------

I have one in the pot... I better go check on it.

HDS

Don't be sorry. We wasted enough time and energy on OT politics. I, for one, will take a moratorium on political discussions for the near future. As for projects:

1. I just finished rebuilding a 5.38" V-2 that I bought as a wreck in an ROL Auction a few months back.

1. I'm also in the process of trying to decide fin patterns for a 3" mailing tube rocket that is using one of those egg-shaped air fresheners as the nosecone. The slotted middle makes a cool appearing nosecone.
2. I'm building a coffee creamer oddroc, using one of those slick new plastic bowling pin-like containers.
3. I'm redesigning the subframe for my full-scale FTBOD in order to shed some weight and accomodate a 42" long, 100mm Hybrid "M" motor. Instead of building the subframe with a series of concentric rings like the original, I'm going to use 4 vertically-oriented stepped plywood pieces that will start at the top and attach to the ringfin at the bottom. A couple of horizontal rings will also be used to solidify the structure.

As you've probably already guessed, I'm a multi-tasker. I can't just work on one project and see it through to completion before starting another one.

So, your "big project" is getting better so that you can build and fly some big projects. Take it easy and don't try to do too much, too soon. Coming from a bloodline with notoriously quirky tickers, I've seen what happens when one tries to overdo it. Speedy recovery,

This project will fly at BALLS (Black Rock Desert, Nevada) next year. Come on down, I could use a hand lifting it.

Anyone have any Kit Bashing ideas for an AT Wart-Hog ?

Picked one up at Hobby Lobby for $19.00

Insert into trash can and get a LOC Legacy?

Build with no thrust ring or through hole blocks and fly with a USR

It can handle it no prob too.

Well, I did a rather simple one. I picked one up a while ago at the HL half price sale. Finally built it this spring/summer. I left off the extra rings and conduit thingies, and just built a 4FNC version. Then after looking at the name a while it just sort of came to me:

WartHog WartHog Wart Hog Wart Hog Wart Hog Wart Hog Wart HogWart HogWart

So I painted it gold and covered it with Harry Potter stickers. HogWart and it's cousin the Golden Snitch flew at NARAM on F20-4 and C6-0 respectively. There's a picture of the Hogwart on either Chris and/or Craig's NARAM site.

Yow. Good luck, and best wishes for a speedy recovery.

You'll be wanting one of these then:

I'm just starting on my Level 2 project for next spring. A 2.3X upscale of the Estes Pathfinder. 4" to 3" and 8 feet long. I'm going with a PML

Switch to a USR 2.6 inch interchange mount (3x29mm + all the Kwick Switch-tm mounts you want to add) or USR 3.0 inch interchange mount (4x29mm + all the Kwick Switch-tm mounts you want to add).

You're right. I delete a lot of the OT and POL stuff and "sometimes" there is little left.

I'm in the process of building 2 PML kits. The Little and the big Lunar Express. Great kits.I plan to use these kits for CAR level 2 and

It's funny that you find it necessary to attack me. I've never proposed that my motors are anything better than "experimental". I do it purely for the fun and education of it.

Who's being a troll now?

Since we agree with each other, why pick a fight? I assume this makes us best friends again.

Let's fly rockets.

Jerry

Whoa! That'll be awesome!!

Is there something wrong with making a 6 inch P, or is that just morbid rocket geek humor? :)

-dave w

Morbid geek humor and let's face it, an inordinate number of "TRA member" P's explode/dissassemble interestingly.

I have identified 48 distinct SRM failure modes. Plenty of them are seen in EX motors, and exponentially more in big-ass EX motors.

So when I say people should buy mine I am not being egocentric. I am making a helpful suggestion, expecially considering the price I charge.
