Model Forum / General / Rockets / April 2006

It's been raining almost non-stop the last two months out here near San
Francisco and I got to wondering if anyone ever shot holes in the
clouds or wether (sic) it was always a 'skys unlimited' kind of thing.

Dear Member,
NASA's acclaimed Science Division -- the heart and soul
of the U.S. space agency -- is in danger!

thanks for getting me in the right direction I should've asked what books
are recommended . building the rockets aren't the hard part I've built level
four estes. but getting the motors a bitch!!

According to a news item:
"A sole-source supplier of a critical binder polymer
(hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) R45) for solid rocket motors
(SRMs) has informed the department that it may leave the SRM business

Just got this email from Bunny. It certainly affects us as well. Everything
from sounding rockets to heavy launch vehicles to the SR-71 kits could be
hit by licensing if we don't stop this now.
Look up your senators and representative and call them now.

As part of the requirements under the Paperwork Reduction Act, the ATF

I'm trying to "clone" the North Coast Rocketry Hobgoblin, an upscale
version that NCR did of the old Estes Goblin. I have some pictures
that I found of the Hobgoblin on the Internet, along with a page of an
old NCR catalog which gives the basic specs for the Hobgoblin: 8"

Took the family to Denny's tonight and the kids got some interesting
cups with their meals.  They are close copies of the old Buck Rogers
space ship from the '30's.  They measure 7.5" tall and are 3" in
diameter.

In candor,
I don't care about Brad Guth's credentials.
I don't care what liberals believe.
I don't care if Daniel Min goes to hell.

I don't know why I started thinking about this, but here it is:
Who has built the lightest rocket to certify Level 1? Anyone with a L1
rocket under 16 oz. loaded?
Just to get those creative juices flowing, here are the "official"
