About my experiences while learning to build and fly High Power Rockets. Other TIR Member Web Sites. Other TIR Member Sites. Tuesday, July 1, 2014. Another small step forward. So I received 8 aluminum bulk plates from a rocketry friend back in Idaho. These were cut on a water jet, which left the edges rather rough. A coworker offered to make me a arbor to mount the plates on so I could easily sand/file the plates to size and keep them round. Works like gang busters! The mounting surface of the arbor.

About my experiences while learning to build and fly High Power Rockets. Other TIR Member Web Sites. Other TIR Member Sites. Saturday, September 29, 2012. ID Rocketeer in Texas. The last post was actually posted long after the event, as I forgot to take care of it right away. Lots of screwy stuff was going on at work which culminated in permanent layoff in December. I'm hoping to get back to flying soon and discovered the launch was missing from the blog. Austin Area Rocketry Group). ID Rocketeer in Texas.

About my experiences while learning to build and fly High Power Rockets. Other TIR Member Web Sites. Other TIR Member Sites. Monday, January 31, 2011. A New Rocket Begun. Tonight I started work on a new rocket. It actually has been in process for a little while, but up to now it has been planning and parts acquisition. This is going to be a scratch built, 54mm, minimum diameter rocket using the practice tube I did before building Flying Colors. That was picked up for me at the 2010 XPRS.
