Production and sale of Loki Research reloads has begun.  Another AP motor
vendor is in business.
Loki was selling 38mm and 54mm reloads at LDRS.  These are
precertification reloads and cannot be flown at a Tripoli launch until

I know I'm a tad late but I wanted to say it was quite awesome to meet
several rmrians and Internet colleagues I hadn't the pleasure to before:
Phil Stein - you are what you write :-)>  BTW, stop that! You're gonna go
blind!

I have posted a couple of images from Perchlorathon 6-04. These are
Kosdon propellants.

    Ok I went and shopped Hobby Lobby in 2 locations about 3 weeks before the
sale this last week. I noted that both locations had Executioners (Estes E
engine kit) in stock on a properly marked peg. One had a V-2 in stock. There
were several higher end kits at both stores. When I ...

There were two people noticeably absent from LDRS: Bill Rossi and Lew
Garrow.May not mean something to many of you out there, but Bill and Lew
have been staples for us for years out this way. It really isn't the same
without their regular attendance. A lot of us miss these two ...

I've placed a couple of pics of the 100mm motor that I lugged out to LDRS--
 a semi-custom job originally intended for a Mark Simpson FTBOD, but not
 actually flown.

Last year, I successfully helped to form a local rocketry club. We've
been fortunate that a local hobby shop has been helping us (and several
other organizations in town) by lending us their multiple launcher for
our launches.

I'm considering getting an "Igniterman" construction kit to make up ignitors.
I'm intrigued by the use of the conductive primer dip, so that ignitors can be
made without doing any soldering of bridge wires or nichrome elements. It's
also enticing because it is possible to make small ...

I flew my Camiator-IIIA three times at LDRS. The Camiator-IIIA is an
Aerotech Initiator modified to carry an Olympus Stylus Epic 35mm camera,
AYUCR Timer, and PerfectFlite Alt25K/WD altimeter. The three flights were on
G80-7, H128W-M, and H180W-L.

BoosterVision went to LDRS to test our Hi Power Transmitter with the Video
Bazooka Antenna.
for a picture of the antenna, see:

Estes "Storm Caster"
First flight with C11-5 it was great
Second flight with D12-5 out of sight!!
How high did it go and how fast was it traveling ?  Can I do the arith ?

Even if you haven't built anything yet, even if you still plan to build for a
bunch of other events, you still have time to make a great entry for the
Imagination Celebration at NARAM 46.   How is that possible?  It's possible
because you don't need to worry about appearance ...
