Model Forum / General / Rockets / January 2004

With all the excitement of the Mars rover landing, we had to do something
here in the Midwest.
We have a blizzard going however.
So we posted pictures of our Blizzard Lander and a photo taken from it on

Howdy,
I don't know how Aerotech is going to fare with the news that got
announced on RO recently but I have to tell you that it's been close to 2
years here in Canada that mid-power motors (E/F/G) have been unavailable

Just curious if there are elected officials and stuff like that.

Been a long winter..  To much arm-chair rocketry!!
Hauled the family over to our little launch site.. Plopped down my home-brew
launch pad and controller..   That's the way it is during Winter.. Plenty of
time to burn on new rocket kits and projects!!

Please end this pointless bickering! It does the rocketry community NO GOOD!

Have a look:

I just repaired a rocket that had a large triangular piece torn out of the
leading edge of a fin. The rest of the rocket was in good shape, so I didn't
want to trash it. Here's how I made the repair...
The fin is 1/16" G10. First I sanded off all the paint from the damaged fin,

Need help...
Our club is assessing using Splash to assess launching waiver class ships on
relatively small fields with adjacent buildings and stuff you don't want to
come darting in on...

yee haww

I was browsing East Coast Rocketry online model rocket engine
museum,when I saw that one of the old vintage mod roc companies was
located in Albany, NY: Uni-Jet.
The engines on Dale's site are labelled D1, D2, D3, D4, and E2.

In an effort to save my Centuri Iron On transfer, I cleaned up a
scanned image of an old transfer and put it on a t-shirt on the Cafe
Press store...

I got this message from MDRA group email (last night after I'd shut down the
computer), who'd gotten the word from the Virginia club:
"With the renewal of the insurance we’ve decided to go on ahead and hold a
one day launch on Saturday, Jan 3 from 10:00 am until 4:00 pm.

hi I'm a bar as so many in this hobby seems to be:)
It all started a month before x-mas I was picking my brain.
My son is allmost 7 years and suddenly I had this bright idea, how
about rockets?
