Model Forum / General / Rockets / March 2005

Well, before everyone starts hang ringing,
ABC funny videos just started;
and the opening screens showed a 3" diameter rocket by about 4 feet tall
being launched by adults on what looked like a desert ground.

OK, I finally made it to Level 1...
I ended up using my PML Black Brant Vb on an H128W-S, instead of my
previously planned 1/4 Scale Patriot (due to field/rocket size).  The
Patriot was too heavy to launch at that field without a waiver, but the

Can IgniterMan igniters be used for dual-deployment using a 9v

made up using my 3-year-old bottle of IM conductive primer / pyrogen.
I sent the note below to Robert B, but thought that I'd also post it

There have been many times I've wished I could know what the exact wind
speed was at a launch but just had to guess. At the last SEARS launch Jack
Kale had a pocket wind gauge that was really cool. It gives wind speed,
