It's Big. Bigger than Chris Taylor! It's Bad. Powered by an H or maybe an I.
It would be a L1 cert flight except I'm already L2. And it's coming to
NARAM, to be flown on Saturday July 31st.

How do you guys cart stuff around to launches?  Mark had something that looked
like a tackle box to hold engines and other consumables, but I never actually
ASKED what it was...

Came across an Ellis Mountain I69-10 -- Interesting looking motor...
Anybody heard of/ seen flown / actually flown one of these in either a
minimum diameter (29mm) or 38mm airframe optimized for "getting way up
there" ?  

Does anyone know of a website for the BALLS launch?
Also , a local reporter was at LDRS and wants to know who owns the "Spool"

3-try one.  Remembering the suggestions that I buy more carrying capacity than
I think I'll need, I went with the 3-tray.  I still have a LOT of ...

Does anybody know how the Cd of a typical rocket will behave at supersonic
speeds? say mach 1 to mach 1.5? At subsonic speeds the Cd does vary of
course with velocity but the variance is so small during the majority of the
flight profile, you can safely assume a constant Cd for ...

Is there a calculation for wind dfirt vs altitude vs time for guesstimating
where a rocket under a certain size chute weighing x with x knots of wind
may wind up?

So, I found an original NCR Phantom 4000 set (with pad and controller)
in a dark and dusty corner of a hobby shop.  They cater to RC dune buggy
guys and some aircraft stuff, but have very little rocket stuff.  The
dilemma is that the box has a faded old price tag of $170 and it ...

Noticed on the back cover of the latest Sport Rocketry an ad for the
Estes Oracle.  Does anyone have that yet and if so, what do you think
about it?

After firing my Forte successfully on an H180W-S motor I notice that
the 29/180 Dr. Rocket casing now has a bulge in it. Never seen this

First, the disclaimer ... this was my first LDRS (hopefully not my
last).
However, with that out of the way, I wish more people could approach
it from that perspective.  I'm more accustomed to small launches
