Ok I searched about the web and found nothing, so I ask here.
anyone have a URL to some examples of best practices using a BlackSky
AADR on a big large rocket for droge to main deployment ?

There's a nice spread about LDRS in the latest issue of Air & Space
Smithsonian (just arrived in the mail).  Thought folks might want to know.

Has anyone tried using a pair of cell phones as a data link to onboard
telemetry???

As I move slowly from hobby to sport rockets, I was wondering if I could get
a line on where to get some swivels for Parachute mounting. It seems for my

If a  NAR section  holds a HPR sport launch, is it required that the RSO or
Safety Check person both be L2 if you plan on launching L2 models? Could

Mark,
I apologize for my tone in my post of yesterday, and for reposting your
contact information with the obfuscation defeated.  I agree that it was
uncalled for.

Anybody know if they are still around. They don't answer their email
and aren't returning phone messages.

Opinions wanted please, and I know this is the place to get them! ;-)
I am looking to build my 1st mid power rocket, and wanted to know if it
would be better to build my own launch pad, or get the one from
Aero-Tech?

Does anyone know who bought Aardvarks product line/inventory?  Is anyone
currently selling these kits?
I seem to remember some good 24/29mm military scale kits from this
manufacturer.

Who does nose cones in this size?

I'd like to get a tower launcher, and am wondering if you can direct me to a
supplier or a good set of plans.  It doesn't have to be real big.  Just
launching 29mm and 38mm stuff.  Thanks for the help.

Kind-of like an Interceptor-like rocket but black and 2 staged, And seriously low priced.
