I remember not too long ago that this group used to have some model
rocketry related posts.  Where did they go?

 I , for one, am sick of heatrig about Brad Guth's credentials or
lack of them, and whether or not Thr Govt faked the Apollo oon
landings and what is politically correct as far as drunks in bars.

Just to have some modroc content, I finished my Big Bretha  3 engine
cluster and will paint it in a couple of days.  Might  be able to get
some pics put up on ABPMR.

Ya know, I've been thinking the same thing of late, as well.

Just sold off most of my modroc bits and pieces; just don't have time
for LPR anymore.  I did keep some stuff, though, so my kids have
something to fly when I they come to a launch with me.

Also just got word that a rocket I shipped to VA for painting is almost
ready to come home.  Should have it next week; can't wait to see it!

That goes for me too, as I'd much rather focus upon the sorts of
small/compact rockets that'll best accomplish the most payload(s) of
getting microsatellites to LL-1.

GOT COMPOSITE ROCKET that'll accomplish 10+kg?

Phil Stein; Then why do you keep 'discussing' it?

What the freaking hell has that pathetic statement got to do with the
question of small multi-stage or composite rocket getting 10+kg to
LL-1?

As a one time courtesy, I want you to know that I will never discuss
anything with you unless it pertains to something on topic.  Last I
checked, Apollo wasn't a model or a rocket.   Anyway, don't bother
asking.

Mr. Stein,

I thought that there was a model rocket with the name of apollo, back in
the late 70's. single stage, 3 fins, 2 chutes.

At least, that's my memory of it.

Phil Stein - 28 Mar 2006 00:42 GMT
You may be right but I bet it wasn'tused to send 10+kg to LL-1 like
the one Brad was discussing.  I'm not familiar with the one you are
talking about but I bet there are some people hare that are and they'd
be happy to discuss it.

I'm kind of out of the launching mode for a while, and am pretty busy,
but I've got a Semroc Mars Lander that I'm building.  I'm REALLY pleased
with this kit, and (in my mind) I'm hoping it will do justice to the one
I had as a kid (which in my own memory must have been just PERFECT!).

As an additional rocketry related question, what would folks recommend
for the simplest/cheapest kit scale model rocket for a group of kids?  
Again, requirements are simplicity, cost, and an actual 'scale' model.

I like the Semroc "Aerobee Hi" (admittedly not 100%
accurate) and their "Astrobee 350".

ThrustAero also has their very nice clones of the classic
Estes "Honest John" (both the BT-50 and BT-55 version);
the "Little John", "Aerobee 300", "WAC Corporal" and the
BT-55 V-2.  They also have a very nice BT-60 sized V-2 in
their line of original kits.

I have all of the above, in various stages of construction,
and am very pleased with each.

Where is the fun in that?  If the responders can't be bothered to
eliminate the x-posts then far be it from me to do so.  

What cracks me up is a top posting git taking such a superior tone on a

Top posting is a courtesy to the intended reader(s) - it enables them to
conveniently read the response without needing to scroll down.  The only
time bottom-posting is really required, is when multiple points are being
addressed sequentially.  With quoted text clearly indented, only the most
dimwitted reader has difficulty discerning the responder's text from that
which is being replied to.  Thus, only the dimwitted have a problem with it.

Another clueless, top posting git posting in defense of the brotherhood

Top posting is not the custom in Usenet groups.  Others have already
explained why.  If you need more information, try this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top-posting

Quote from above:

   Unsurprisingly, different online communities differ on
   whether or not top-posting is objectionable; but if it
   is found objectionable in a particular community,
   top-posting in that community will generally be seen as
   major breach of etiquette and will provoke particularly
   vehement responses from self-named community regulars.

The sci.space groups have been around far longer than I have been reading
Usenet (which dates back to 1988), so you'll find these groups are
conservative and prefer the use of proper Netiquette:

IMHO, I like the bottom posting method better, as then I don't have to
scroll down to see what exactly the reply is in response to.
The one that gets on my nerves is a reply that has no content from the
posting it is a response to in it.
This makes it very hard to determine what exactly the poster is talking
about without backtracking the thread.

Context is important, but, at last with a news group on a news reader,
you can backtrack it.  What kills me is web forums where there is no
thread structure, just sequential posts. I can't understand web tools
like that not supporting threading <sigh>

Even Google, with all their hot programmers, has been challenged to
recreate the thread structure of the usenet archives.  The structure is
built into the headers via pointers, right?

I don't care if it's top posted or bottom posted as long as it's on topic
and is posted to the appropriate group and not every unrelated newsgroup on
the net.

 Think about it- the only time bottom posting is "better" is when a newbie
is entering a thread for the first time and needs to get "caught up."

 So your point is that those who have been paying attention all along must
scroll down past all the historical stuff they already know, every time a
new post is added, in order to make life easier one time for the ocasional
clueless newbie?

 Ya know, we had this one out back in the early 80s and a common feeling
back then was that top posting was like Apple- definitely superior in so
many ways, but hey, everybody else is using IBM . . .

(OBTW- anyone using "Wikipedia" as an athouritative source on *anything* has
really jumped the shark big time)

I've got my newsreader set so that it shows all the threads at once in
the order the messages were received in; therefore I can be hopping back
and forth between a lot of threads as I advance through the messages,
and the real aid there is if the poster leaves some context so I can see
what they're responding to.

I just prefer bottom posting due to  way I read the messages... however
it's a personal thing, and open to individual tastes.
Top posting is a minor inconvenience at most, and I'm not going to lose
sleep over it.

See http://www.londonslang.com/db/g/ for proper spelling of "git".

And it should read "You TOO chicken to top post", by the way.  If you
are going to be the speeeling police...

A simple snip fixes the scrolling.

To actually do that you'd have to stop posting altogether!

As much as I enjoy needling the trolls, I have to agree with you.

One of the TARC teams I mentor (Pennridge High in PA) is going to have
their qualification flight next weekend.  I'm going to witness it.  The
team used some Estes Scrambler egg capsules I got from a hobby shop
that was goung out of business.  I can't wait to see how they will do.

Are they coming to PARA Sunday?

I'll try to be there.  A robotics team I'm mentoring has their
competition at Drexel From Thursday thru Saturday.  By the time that's
over, I might be to burnt out to go Sunday.  We'll see.

It's a shame that this group is heading in the direction that it is.
At least when Jerry used to rant about things that were related to the
hobby.  The current crop of morons don't have a clue.

The date will be either Saturday or Sunday depending on the teacher's
schedule.  It will be at Pennridge HS.  I will extend an invitation to
them to come to PARA.

I have also been in touch with the local CAP squadron and they are
interested in starting a Rocketry program.  I gave a presentation at
their meeting last month.  I am encouraging them to fiels a TARC team.

Gus knows how welcome he is at PARA.  If he shows up anyway, we'll try
to keep things cordial.  

It's to bad there isn't a permanent cure for whatever is wrong with
him.

The main reason this group is heading in the dircetion that it is, is
because of the arseholes like Min & Guth who started cross posting
thier crap in rmr... and TOO many idiots in these other groups just
keep replying - probably not even aware they're cross posting.

For example, notice the groups of a recent Min post:

I'm done responding to Guth & McNichole and the rest of their type.  I
suggest everyone do likewise.
