Following is the (currently) brief list of rockets we've got... more to come later!

I thought I'd put a couple of stats about the rockets up... if there's any other obvious, easily measurable statistics that are worth including, let me know

Notice the charring on the right fin there? I'm not sure how long this rocket will last! Really, though, it's true name was Prototype I until I lost it twice in two launches

Now you need some HPR  

i think a few members in parc have a riptide they take d motors from memory, well thats how it starts a couple of smaller ones then before you know it you move the car out of the garage and fill it with some bigger rockets, well thats what i had to do.lol

Yeah, that's what my wife's afraid of!!!

my wife thinks i love my rockets more than her,   yea she is correct  

riptide takes C motors i got one was the  third rocket to enter the fleet now look at what has happened lol


you will be in trouble soon dazza if she reads that

You put 2 lanch lugs on the scratch-built?
Small rockets only need one, mounted near the CG (centre of gravity)

really? jeez... thanks for the info  

I guess i was just copying what i'd observed from the other estes rockets. The X-Ray, which I call a "pocket-rocket" has got a lug at the base and near the nose. On reflection... that may be a choice they've made to simplify the design. On the X-ray the top lug also serves to lock the shock cord down, and the bottom lug makes up part of the fin base.

Any info on the ideal dimensions of a single launch lug near the CG?

Jeebuz Wolf... is that the RipTide "front and centre" of your rocket fleet there? It's frikkin tiny compared to the rest! Or, in other words... omfg you have some massive HPRs!

on small rockets just below the middle will be fine it is not that big a deal

Those kits are quite good Mr F. Next time you head to Adelaide sing out! Have quite a bit of gear you can have to help get your section going! Lots of tubes, nose cones and other usefull material.
