I have seen a device the attaches drop-off boosters to an airframe and with
an e-match and a little BP or Pyrodex breaks a nylon screw for a clean
separation.
I need to find this product.

I'm wondering about the fin configuration on rockets like the Talon
(http://www.giantleaprocketry.com/products_kits_talon.asp); is there any
aerodynamic purpose to having larger fins further up, and smaller fins behind,
or is it just for appearance?  Seems like it would be more ...

I'm in the process of updating the cosmodrome rocketry website
(http://www.cosmodromerocketry.com) and would like to have some opinions on
it.  I've still got some background images to go, but the main content and
layout are in place.  If anyone finds any technical errors or has ...

Cedar City, UT (ROL Newswire) --  The AeroTech division of RCS Rocket

Launched my 24mm RMS again today, this time with an F engine reload
kit.  Had a heck of a time with the Copperhead, but I was given a dipped
igniter that worked great.
Upon cleaning the casing, I noticed that there was a burn-through spot

What the heck is going on here?
Every post I have is duplicated up to 10 times and it's all in some kind of
stupid code. Can anyone read this?
Please respond.

I have (2)Flintec load cells for sale, model # SP4-30.  They are 30kg (66lb)

asking $15 (US) a piece.
Thanks,

It has been a while since I gave a report on the website, and so I
thought I'd share with you some stats...
Since the BARCLONE site was first opened to the web in 2003, we have had
12,371 hits to the main page. This is truly encouraging.

In the middle of your holiday celebrations with family and friends, I
hope many of you have had a chance to read my latest Model Rocketeer
column, "Pressing the Fight Home".  There, I outline the future we
face unless we win our current legal struggle against BATFE.

I'd like to beg your indulgence for just a moment.
The recent magnitude 9.0 earthquake and resultant tsunami in
southern Asia has been utterly devastating.  The UN is saying
that this will be the largest relief effort ever mounted.

Well, Jack Hagerty's article in the Sept/Oct SpRocketry on the 'Snoop
inspired me to build a clone.  I never owned the kit when I was younger--the
cooling fins and all that sanding scared me!  Now that I am older and wiser
(at least older), I decided to bite the bullet, download ...

27 CFR 55 subpart K outlines the requirements for type 4 magazine
construction.  Type 1, 2, and 3 requirements are specific as to the minimum
metal thickness.  Type 4 does not mention a minimum gage only that the
outside must be metal clad or covered.

I was checking the links page on NOVAAR's home page today

Tubular, LOC/Precision and Rocket R&D anybody know the story about
these?
