Greg, yes thats it. Thanks. Q's: 1) How did you thread the wires from the inside of the tube to the outside of the rocket where the electronics were for each flight? 2) Also do you have details of the shunts you used? I have heard ppl recommend AGAINST shunts as something that under G load can open up. What do you think? Or did you mitigate that? --------------------------------------- Jeff Gortatowsky, Redondo Beach, CA | Twitter: JeffGortatowsky | Yahoo: indanapt "(Scientific) Skepticism is not a set of beliefs, it is a set of methods for asking questions about reality." -- Doctor Steven Novella ________________________________ From: Gregory Lyzenga <lyzenga@xxxxxxxxx> To: roc-chat@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, June 13, 2012 4:48 PM Subject: [roc-chat] Re: Tether setups On Jun 13, 2012, at 4:10 PM, Jeff Gortatowsky wrote: Think of doing my first 'large' rocket.
