[I know I'm going to regret this, but...]
I'm thinking of modifying my LOC expiditer to do dual deploy.  It's got
a nice 3.1" payload bay and a large motor mount for big motors.
Any suggestions for an electronics package?  Electronics bay?

I received an email recently from a modeler who is considering hybrids.
It occurred to me that his questions are probably pretty common, so I
asked him if I could post them on some newsgroups, and he kindly
consented. Herewith our conversation. I hope people will find it

I'm trying to sell my remaining rocketry materials. My health is such
that I don't have the energy for model rockets anymore. I also don't
want my wife to have so many of my belongings to dispose of after I'm
gone. Here's a web site I quickly put up with what I have left:

I posted this info to ROL as well. I am in the process of building a new
website at:

I haven't uploaded the rocketry section yet, but it should be up in a few

    Anyone have websites for homemade launchpads?

My daughter and I are at a loss for what to do for a good but relatively
inexpensive science fair project; an idea that would have required getting a
wing segment to rise in a wind tunnel didn't work out, which makes the rest of
that experiment impossible.  We're now looking at ...

We are launching a camera up in a high altitude balloon (no rockets
invovled but high altitude, I figured you all know about that) to
hopefully 80 000 feet. We are worried about frost forming on the
windows and blocking the veiw.

Thank you.
Hi all,
Apologies for the length of this post, but I know some of you enjoy a
little bed time reading!

I can't say that I'm surprised by this - I'm just saddened by this
inevitable result.  But I knew it was happening at Boeing even before

       Has anyone heard from or seen Joe lately? I've been trying to
contact him since well before Christmas. I've e-mailed him, and left
messages on his answering machine, all to no avail. Has he fallen off the
planet? I'm in serious need of a transmitter!

Anyone ever plug the forward end of silver streak motors, I'm thinking of using
epoxy, they are H-220s later called H-330s, they seem to have a lot of forward
failures, will epoxy be able to hold the preasure in, any thoughts at all?
Thanks in advance, LeRoy

ok, before i even start. lets try not to turn this into a rant about all the
things that went wrong or havent been done inthe past to keep rocketry out
of the regulators hands. you got the whole of RMR ro do that.
lets try to work out a bill.

Does anyone know where I can purchase customer nosecones?  Mabye a machining
service that will customer lathe them from balsa?  I am looking for
something in the 4, 5, and 6" range.
Thanks,

Niall,
