(ROL Newswire) --  Announcing phase 2 of the Save Rocketry Now

What were they called?  The name escapes me, and I'm passing on a couple to
another flyer...

Any suggestions ?  I tried some test cuts in a scrap area and the results
*weren't* pretty.  Knife / razorblade is a no-go...can't apply enough force
to cut and still stay on the line.
Scroll saw just tore the material apart...

Has anyone used these???
Picked up a pack out of the "Oldies Box" from local hobby shop.
They're 38mm long,  8.75mm Dia. and have an 8sec burn time.
Nozzle exit dia is about 2mm.

Hopefully this is viewable to the "outside world"...

Voting begins... NOW

Thanks,

I just got my L1 cert and plan to get L2 in the future. With that said
I guess that I will need to apply for a LEUP?
Finding the application form is easy. I'm looking ofr some instructions
on how to fill out the form. How much does it cost? And does it need to

Anyone have a Rocksim file for this rocket?  Failing that, is it a straight
scale-up from the Extreme 38?
Thanks ;)

I have a Maxi-Alpha that broke one of the fin retaining tabs on the back
of a fin, leaving it loose enough that it will come off on the next
flight.  No big deal, I'll just glue it down.
So, I put on a little bit of gap-filling CA in that area, but...  The

  I don't wish to start a contentious thread but I have a quick straight
forward question I think someone knowledgeable can answer.

there is usually an engine vendor onsite, right?  I certainly would be
