Model Forum / General / Rockets / August 2008

Does anyone know where Greg Deputy can be reached?  I have been
attempting to contact him for two weeks now with no success.  I have
tried his e-mail address, pager, MSN hotmail account, business website
e-mail, and home/cell phone.   Thank you.

I'm going to be spending some time with some friends near
Gettysburg Pa soon, and their son wants to go fly some rockets.
Are there any rocket-friendly launch sites near that area?  We'll
be flying low-powered stuff, nothing over 1 lb or greater than "F"

Does anyone know if Estes plans to offer C5s again? I haven't flown my
old LTV Scout in years.

rockets today.  The weather at the Fiesta Island launch site used by
the DART rocketry club was initially quite good at 8:00 AM with winds

Would someone take the time to explain to me what the poundage designation
means for black powder rockets, ie  4oz, 1 lb, 3lb, etc... Thanks for your
kind help.

I observed an interesting and rather scary thing this weekend. A long,
skinny (~3" diameter) rocket suffered a recovery harness failure at apogee,
and the booster section did not come in on chute. What it did do was glide -
a relatively long way, and very fast. It was amazingly ...

I've had a couple dozen NAR members among my LinkedIn connections, and
just added more from the NARAM-50 / ORR list. I thought it was time
that we had a group presence on LinkedIn so I created a National

I would like to make my own dense foam nose cones using a mold and casting
method.  Making the mold is the easy part.  The foam, well is another story.
Expandable foam insulation doesn't work.  Does anyone have any ideas on foam
products that could be poured into the mold?  ...
