lost rockets and a reflection on costs

Jun 05, 2005 130 Replies

That's true, the "U.S. Rockets Sonoroc" was just a "stock" (1.25" dia.) raw beeper with no switch or battery holder, just the power supply wires sticking out of it. How was that "ultimate"?

It's not identical, but this looks like it.

Try this, the unit is a little pricy, but it's a quality piece of work.

Objections

Per part cost Size "missing key features"

Mass-market rocketeers are FAR too cheap.

That's a good thing; helps to keep consumer price down... However, with some venders, it causes them to take short cuts in there regulatory compliance or component quality, the latter resulting in poor product quality. Of course I'm not naming names, but they know who they are.

Aren't you going to share your vast knowledge???

I was tracking down Ada code on the net this weekend. I discovered a package called "Advanced Simulation Development System (ASDS)" that was created by McDonnel Douglas.

Would someone please help me find this software?

Thanks, Jason C. Wells

Answer the question......

You cannot have "take backs".

Neither can I.

Are you really this stupid Jerry??

I can add another 'victim' to the list now. I lost my 3" BSD THOR yesterday, complete with MissileWorks RRC2, 38-720 motorcase, and various chutes and harnesses. I'm so bummin'!

Yesterday was definitely hard on rockets! I think we lost more yesterday than we've ever lost in an entire weekend!

Not sure what was up with that; many of the folks who lost things have better track records than that!

Fred's post was a heck of a lot more useful than yours. All you did was brag about some product you once had, and didn't even mention until later that your product isn't available.

It's only not available to Tripoli and "sport rocket" members.

That simplfies life.
