Lets do something unique and talk about rockets... :)
I am about to pick up a used LOC Bruiser. Right now! :)
I need to get the paint off of it. Whats the best way without f'ing up the
surface.... just a ton of elbow grease? A palm sander?
Next, its a 54mm mount with two 38s... I was going to use a old but working
Olsen Timer 2 or an old but working Timer-One from the old blacksky for air
starts. Do you all cut a hatch in the airframe for accessing the timer down in
the fin can?
The new perfectflite timers seem to be more of a do it yourself project now
days. And I don't want to by yet another altimeter like a Raven with airstarts.
I have plenty of DD Altimeters. Thoughts?
Ignitors? I know CTI's have the pellet making then great at airstarts and
staging the doddle, but are their igniters suitable for low current
applications. If not, whatcha all using (you can PM me if need be).
Rockets. FTW.
