Model Forum / General / Rockets / August 2005

Gonna order me one of those Ajax SW-014 just because I like 'em!
Anyone else like the 'nostalgic' looking rockets?
Plain Jane retro colors too, although could be a bit of a snot to
airbrush that metallic gold though.....

I have compiled all the information on shunts that I could come up
with from here as well as anywhere else I could find any.  It contains
nothing that was taken directly from here (or anywhere else) so, it
can be posted non-commercially at will.

It landed just about 5 mins ago out here at Edwards AFB.

its been a while since I've been out to a launch....
will there be motorvendors on site?

To all concerned and those that are not:
Jeff Jones is a fraudulent seller.  No doubt about it - no question in my
mind whatsoever!  I bought an ESTES Sentinel from him on 6/22 on ROL.  He
then contacted me on 7/13 and asked if I was interested in an Estes NCR Star

Didn't go to NARAM this year, but still got my reports.  Lots of flying and hot
weather.
But it now seems Sunward and myself are now described as the "guy with the 4 mil
bags and bar codes."

does anyone have a spent Hypertek M grain (standard, not Hy-FX) that
they could weigh for me please? I'm working on my UKRA L3 report, and

Seems Jerry took a bunch of quotes out of context and posted them to support
his products or slam his competitors!

Does anyone use Hobbytown USA brand 30-min epoxy and can say if it's any
good or not?
I normally use NHP brand but my close-by shops are out of it. I happened
to be on the other side of town near the Hobbytown USA yesterday and

Jerry, my question has to do with AFTE permits (LEUP or LEMP)
Let's take the storage requirement out of the picture, and let's address
your own background.
Could Jerry Irvine get a LEUP even if he had legitimate storage?

Figured that would get you're attention.........
Went with the wife to town...and I hate this more than she hates to go
to launches......ya'll know how this is.....
Anyhow...I always try to make the best of it....

I was hoping that Holverson Designs would could back some day as part of
Soar Buzzard. I just got word from the Buzzard Man that Soar Buzzard
isn't going to happen. I've pretty much have pulled the plug on any HD
come back aspirations.

I was making some nitrocellulous a long time ago and, just for fun, dumped
some really thick gell into a short tube (spent motor casing).  I let it sit
for a few days (actually, I forgot about it).  I later lit it and it seemed
to do fairly well for the small amount that I put in ...

When I first started back in rocketry I did a lot of simulation stuff
with Rocksim v5 but I kind of stopped simming and just flew things and
designing by eye for quite a few years.  I'm thinking about a level 3
project now and will need to do some sims again so I'm wondering if

Any IT folks out there want to help me direct my son.  He's very much into
computers hardware and wants more software exposure.  What programming
languages are most games writen in?  Are there any good tutorials out there
to get a bright young man started?  Thanks and sorry for ...
