Model Forum / General / Rockets / August 2003

Who's going to BUFROC in Geneseo this weekend and what are you flying?
Looks like the weather is going to be excellent and at last check, the
Day's Inn still had a few rooms left.

Does anyone know where in Canada LDRS 2005 is being planned for?  I google
searched this group, but didn't find anything specifying where LDRS might
actually be held in Canada.
I thought I heard it would be held at Roc Lake, but Leathbridge Rocketry

Just a reminder that the 4th Annual BUFFROC launch is on for this weekend.

I currently have AOL, but I will be switching to high speed cable which does

high power and ExHP rockets.
Thanks

All Day 5 content is online. George Kicked but in F Dual Egg Loft with
nearly 22 minutes !!!

I'd like to know if there is a model rocket kit, large enought to send
an adult-sized individual, up a couple thousand feet, with reliable
parachute system?
Would the rocket engines required cause too much of a scene?

LDRS has come and gone (in a grand and glorious faction), so it's time
to continue on with the TRA Legal Fund Raffle.
This month's prizes are another fine selection that everyone will want
in on, I'm sure:

Does anyone out there know of any websites where I can find technical drawings
online of the Russian R-7 booster.  I'm sure I could find it in "Rockets of the
World" but being an unemployed teenager I'm a bit broke and most likely will

Jerry,
I just bought a USR Banshee kit originally manufactured in what appears to
be the mid-eighties (the orange instruction sheet says "designed by Jerry
Irvine, updated 7-84).

The only way I can get this altimeter to power up is to move the Jumper off
the Altitude block(3 pin) on to the the next set of pins(250 on 750 off) It
will not power up with any of the wires from the 5 pin connection block.
Anyone have the instructions for the older version?
