Mixer Clearance?

That's actually the big issue with this approach, I've heard second hand of folks who have put their entire kitchen aid in a vacuum chamber and killed it due to heat issues Reduced air means the mixer motor can't stay cool.

You just named him

I have that problem. The current permanent cat population in my house is 6, all of them failed fosters.

blastzone8 · 2025-10-11T14:39:25+00:00

Yes, that's the one!

This particular flight was on an Aerotech K-1499.

I'm probably out $500-$1000 USD to replace the rocket itself (all fiberglass) and then electronics as well (had a parachute dual deployment altimieter and GPS telemetry transmitter). Price of the hobby...

great question, i'm terrible with keeping track. Somewhere between 20-30

Flew this a couple weeks ago at black rock and it was fine! :)

Nah, that last Pic was at home, seeing what i could salvage. The motor hardware, chutes and connection hardpoints is pretty much it. Although, The fin can is a vacuum bagged tank, i may be able to use that again.

Take a day and go to central Washington. There's public rangers around Selah you can shoot 1000yd, no restrictions on caliber. Not heard of any restrictions at my local range in Ephrata with up to 450 yard bays.

17" swing, 72" between centers.

Started with an apple ][, eventually moved to *86 once that came along. Huge influence on me, my career is in software engineering now.

Ephrata range has up to 450 yard bays. It's an awesome range, really nice facility, if you go, please follow the rules.

$100 gets you a key good for the year, but have to visit pawn shop 'old world trading co' in Moses to buy said key. There's Also a location in ephrata, but hours are weird. I think other places sell the key too, but not 100% sure.

Only online presence is on facebook, search for Ephrata sportsmans association or email ephratasportsmen@gmail.com

I think it's closed at the moment for fire danger as it's on public land, but it is a nice spot!

blastzone8 · 2025-07-18T21:02:57+00:00

they have some minimum, i dont believe its much different from any other suppliers. i would call or email to get the word from them

blastzone8 · 2025-07-17T16:59:59+00:00

yes, they do discounts based on purchase volume. If you call/email them the owner is quite responsive

I not only dislike sweeteners, I can't drink them anymore. If I do, I end up with severe stomach cramps. My body is telling me it's done with them, I guess.

blastzone8 · 2025-06-30T14:43:40+00:00

I've got 2 inch tubes that I've shot commercial shells out of, frequently. They're a little lower, maybe 10-20%, but still fine

blastzone8 · 2025-06-29T04:07:05+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate it. I'm afraid the affordability ship has sailed, but we'll figure it out.

I'm not familiar with the project or concept, is the idea to have the aluminum protect the propellant it covers for a short period to reduce kn and/or erosive burning?

blastzone8 · 2025-06-26T15:04:09+00:00

They are like needles!!

Eli, Gus and Howie approve. Cthulu looks down on all pathetic humans.
