Rocketry goals review for Jul 2015 | Rich's Rockets

Born-Late Rocketeer Tells All. Rocketry goals review for Jul 2015. August 6, 2015. This has been a month. Fly an I motor. Not yet, but I’ve bought one, and the hardware. Put an entry (however pathetic) into at least four club launch contests and four club launch themes. Completed the Rose-a-Roc for the August contest. Worked on the D-Region Tomahawk for the September theme/contest. Built a saucer which is mildly odd for the August theme, not that I don’t already have odd-rocs to fly. Adhere to a budget.

The Rocket N00b: August 2015
http://rocketn00b.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 27, 2015. This is the one year anniversary of The Rocket N00b blog! I started this thing as a total n00b, just weeks after launching my first kit, the Estes Der Red Max. At first, this blog was just a way for me to put up some pictures of what I was doing, and maybe coax the few friends I thought might read this into joining me in the awesome hobby I'd just discovered. In the intervening time, I have:. Found out just how alive and well the hobby of rocketry really is. Here is the Ventris.

Building the Quest MLAS (part 4) | Rich's Rockets
https://richsrockets.wordpress.com/2015/08/06/building-the-quest-mlas-part-4
Born-Late Rocketeer Tells All. Building the Quest MLAS (part 4). August 6, 2015. It’s a little too humid for my liking for paint this week, so I’m devoting rocket time to assembly. Having at last done the paint foam test on the MLAS nose cone, I no longer need access to the bottom of the nose cone, so I finally could proceed with gluing on the shoulder. Here’s a test fit of the stack, with the nose weight in place. Those were glued into place. August 6, 2015. Building the Quest MLAS (part 3). Rich’...

Repairing the Sky Condor | Rich's Rockets
https://richsrockets.wordpress.com/2015/07/20/repairing-the-sky-condor
Born-Late Rocketeer Tells All. Repairing the Sky Condor. July 20, 2015. When I went to fly the Condor yesterday I realized I’d never gotten around to repairing a problem. The Condor is designed without a thrust ring, so only the tongue on the motor hook stops the motor from moving forward. On the last flight, the hook was shoved forward into the body tube. That should allow future flights without needing a tape thrust ring, and without shoving the hook forward again. July 20, 2015. Glide, glided, glade.

Building the FlisKits Buck Shot (part 1) | Rich's Rockets
https://richsrockets.wordpress.com/2015/08/06/building-the-fliskits-buck-shot
Born-Late Rocketeer Tells All. Building the FlisKits Buck Shot (part 1). August 6, 2015. There was a lot of glue-it-and-wait on the MLAS, so I decided to multitask by starting on the FlisKits Buck Shot. I suppose there must be a good reason why they call this model that; I just don’t know what it is. Anyway. My first MMX rocket. Here are most of the parts. The motor mount is pretty much standard, aside from being tiny. I’ll seal the balsa nose cone before completing assembly. August 6, 2015. I think the ...

Building the FlisKits Rose-a-Roc (Part 6) | Rich's Rockets
https://richsrockets.wordpress.com/2015/07/24/building-the-fliskits-rose-a-roc-part-6
Born-Late Rocketeer Tells All. Building the FlisKits Rose-a-Roc (Part 6). July 24, 2015. I didn’t much like the thought of gluing the other ends of the rubber bands to slits in the nose cone, so I decided to give the other way a try. I drilled small shallow holes in the nose cone above each rotor. Then I pushed pieces of wire into the balsa at the bottoms of the holes, pointing away from the rotors, and filled the holes with epoxy. Is this going to work? July 24, 2015.
