I'm already thinking about my winter project. I would like to put together a
1/2 scale harpoon. Using something like an L motor or maybe three 38's with
a 54 in the middle. Any thoughts? How about any pointers for details. This
will be my first scratch project. Anyone have any ...

Hello Rocket Comrades!
There has been some talk about the project that the Community Space Program is doing for
BALLS. I have not commented much because I wanted to hold comments until I was sure that

Any thoughts of piston vs. nomex to protect the chute during deployment? I
have used mostly piston with no problems but I have noticed lately that my

Will someone please tell me where to get Ace nose cones?

I've been interested in getting involved in some of the more high
powered engines (just shot G's up to now), and have been reading a lot
(and getting somewhat confused) on the different ways to get access to
them.  From what I've read, I can purchase them if I've been certified

I've searched high and low and can't find this eng file.  Anyone know where
I can get it?

hold ups is the ejection charges. The re-occuring thing I've heard is to
use flash bulbs wrapped in paper with the charge. Ok, nice and simple,
just like me. I'm curious about other methods out there and ...

Hi, I'm looking for an old nose cone used on the Estes Mark, their part
number BNC-30E, or a plastic equivalent.  Does anyone know of a source for

out how to prime and pant it. Normal spray paint seams to melt it. any
