 Basically now that I have the bugs worked out of my dual deployment
system I'll stop using the motor ejection charges soon (want a bit more
experience before doing that just yet). Obviously that means saving the
BP for something else, but what about the delay elements? Is there ...

Just wondering. Any concerns regarding how long we hold on to the BP for
ejection until we should start to worry. I have not had any problems but
....!

Could people please comment on my website
http://www.freewebs.com/jandjrockets and suggest any improvements. In
particular I would like to make sure the thing in the techniques section
makes sense to everyone, and if not, what the problem is.

Well, it'll be the first chance I've had since moving to Ohio from
California. Them there crazy Skybusters are going to convene in a farm field
in Amherst tomorrow, in what will probably be about 35 degree, to launch
rockets. My thin California-ized blood isn't going to be able ...

I have read that this rocket can be easily modified to accept an "E" engine.
Any tips on how this can be done?
Thanks!

a nosecone for my upscale Freaky Flyer and came accross a problem in finding
large enough pieces of wood.  What I was thinking of doing is taking some

and lawn darts into a wall. (the wife's flaky sister had launched ...

Got mine yesterday. Looks like a "ton O' fun" in a box.

 I was looking at the subject tests, and I see that #4 and #6 nylon screws
were tested, but not styrene rod.  Is there any particular reason?  If I
donate some rod, can it be tested?
Thanks,

Does anyone have a link to "How to make your own Hybrid motors" type
sites. I have checked out Flyhybrids.com and the others but they seem to
support aerotech hyperteck and the others. I want to make them from the
ground up.

Could someone please help me. I'm considering an slight upscale Mars Lander,
but I need to know what size a BT-100CE, so that I know that my JimZ plans
from my printer are coming out correctly.
Thanks!

       I am new to model rocketry, and when I mention that to anyone, they
always ask me if I got hooked after watching the Rocketry Challenge.  When I
tell my story (which is a no to the Rocket Challenge question), they tell me
that I absolutly have to see the program.  Does ...

Ok,
I'm getting ready to try the 3 stage Saturn again. On the first 2 attempts,
I was 6 out of 11 and then 9 out of 11 respectively. The only problem I'm
still having seems to be core engine ignition. I'm chad staging and I'm
