I ran across this on ebay:

Anyone have any idea if this might work for a rocket speed trap?

What is the greatest angle of canting that has been successfully used on a
clustered design (like Deuce's Wild or Tres)?

My Aerotech strongarm hit the deck and destoyed the nose cone and the
top half of the airframe.
I had to cut the airframe off flush with the coupler tube and now I'm
at a loss as to how to fix it. The plan was to find something that

OK, it's been way too long since I took a stat course, and I can't find my
old textbook.
How do I convert experimental data from percentile to a normal distribution?
What percentile is 1 standard deviation above/below the mean? Was this

Has anyone calculated, determined, etc., the Cp for the Tintin rocket?  It
is a bit unusual so I am not sure if the usual methods were accurate.

Hi, in keeping with the last post,
I am building a launch rack , saw horse style.
for the launch rod adjustments however, I was wondering where to find those
adjustment swivels like I've seen used on the NorAm competition launchers.

Bought my son his first model rocket kit. I was wondering if there is
any place out there with plans for launch pad? Though maybe he would
get more out of building from scratch than just buying a cheap one.

Does anybody have any kits that they like for 38mm motors that would be good
for dual deployment ?  I just got done with another scratch build and I am
looking for a good kit that can fly on 38mm motors.
Thanks,

Fellow Rocketeers,
   From all the Sky Busters in Cleveland, OH to all rocketeers everywhere and their families, have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving holiday.  Please keep those serving in the United States Armed Forces in your thoughts today.  Many are along way from home doing ...

If you have a Michael's near you, and they carry any rocket supplies,
there is a 50% off coupon in the newspaper today, but it's only good
tomorrow from 6-8AM.  If you want to score a blast-off pack for about
$27.50 (my Michael's lists them at $55), this is when/where to do it.

Has any one tired http://www.aerosleeves.com/tut.php or just using the sleeves
as a way of reinfocing your tube??
My search for a carbon tube is looking bleak or a glass one...so this might
have to be it.

I saw and article that I think was in Extreme Rocketry but may have been an
older HPR magazine.  The article was about filling out the FAA7711-2 form if
anyone can direct me to Issue number or month year etc I would greatly
appreciate it.
