Model Forum / General / Rockets / February 2006

I'm working on my L2 rockets, once again to be lofted on a hybrid motor
(either a 38mm Contrail J555 or one of the 54mm Contrail motors due to be
released). My question is about tracking charges.
Obviously, hybrids have no delay or smoke tracking elements. Is it

Hi Ray,
I read with interest your article in the latest ER but I had a question--
You use kevlar cord to reinforce the fin roots and seal the cord to the MMT
with CA.  I thought CA shouldn't be used with kevlar as it weakens it?

Anyone know anything about this kit or company, looks like it would be
of interest to collectors, motors look like estes motors from the early
60's but are in a pack labeled "US Rocket motors" along with an
electric launchpad and a rocket with parachute, I tried to post a link

Just post a link or something.  I want to find a die-cast, plastic or
resin model of this AWESOME machine!

I have some very sad news to announce to this list, BluesRocks #1, I was
notified today that Section Advisor and founding member of BluesRocks #657
passed away in his sleep last night of natural causes. He had been in bad
health for quite some time. He was only 52 years young.
