We’d have a ceiling of 2000ft I’m sure from CASA perspective it is fine....but I’ve contacted CASA anyhow. From my understanding anything 500 foot or above requires an instrument and therefore CASA involvement. That said I'm not 100% certain on that as I'm a consumer of these instruments and I've n...

Out of curiosity is the Uni Rocket Challenge associated with AMRS? Anyone have details about the program? Yes SMM, the inaugural AURC competition will be at THUNDA in April. On a more "on the ground" level UWAA (University of Western Australia Aerospace) took a trip to QDL (Quantum Digita...

Hey Joe, I've been meaning to chime in on your update post shakedown flight but sadly life has conspired to get in my way! Regardless, I've got a few minutes so here we go. Specifically, I'd like to bring up your nomex blankets and how I suspect you're using way too much. From Top Flight's site you'...

Timely post Lamp! Congrats to Blake, Scoop, and everyone else who was involved in the Black Sky Aerospace launch! Well done gents!!! But the really important question is when can we expect to see this offered as a kit? Maybe ping Blake? ;) There's definitely a mock up making the rounds... https://ww...

I don't think it's the Google Bot as that appears as a registered user. Baidu, I'm not so sure. That said I would expect web crawlers would only appear as a handful of users, not dozens and dozens.

mmm Maybe I'll get a SCR 29mm motor. They are single use, It'll go higher, but we have plenty of space.

I don't want to be rolling my dice with this 5 month project.

I think that's wise Joe. If it were me I'd be going SCR SU or a CTI 29mm 3 grain, like say a G106 Sparky.

Yea, I'd be really interested to geolocate the IP addresses to see where all of these requests are coming from.

joeman wrote:Any concerns?

I get worried any time someone flies a hobbyline case with a fairly grunty G like the G64 or G76. I've had two G64's CATO on me, both with the forward closure letting go. I've seen others suffer a similar fate. They're just a bit of a roll of the dice imo.

Drew: I'd quite happily do something up if I lived down that way. Seriously :-). Unfortunately, I am all the way up in Cairns. I will be travelling light when we come down to Thunda2. Will be sending everything else ahead of our departure. On the topic of Thunda2, is it a safe bet that there will b...

Excellent work Joe! How do you feel about building a tower that supports 4 fin rockets in 54mm and 75mm airframe sizes?

I could definitely use one come April...

Can't tell from this whether the carbon fiber fin can is attached directly to the motor casing, i.e., with no airframes being used. It was a "flying case" design with Robert. Look at the picture upthread, you can clearly see the fincans are slightly larger in diameter than the motor casin...

I’m sorry , I prefer to send it directly to the presidents of other organizations so that they can decide for themselves how they wish to act upon the information. Thanks for understanding. Of course the reports are both available to all Tripoli members on the Tripoli Forum. Hi Steve, Are you sendi...

Never heard about these guys until today. Tip of the hat to aRocket for the movie URL.

Thanks Steve, I'll chase this up with Dave directly and get back to you if he didn't receive it.

Finally got cable cutter. The piston part doesn’t have a sharp end which surprised me a little. That surprises me too. You ordered the Archetype model, right? FYI the "original" cable cutter that the Archetype model copied used flat cylinders that didn't have a sharp end. But it appears y...
