RockSim: Newsletters from Apogee
Every once in a while, I find myself needing to find the URL for Apogee Components' "Peak of Flight" e-newletter archive:
http://www.apogeerockets.com/educat...ter_archive.asp Maybe you should make this thread "sticky," Scott. :eek: :rolleyes: :cool: Cheers, |
Good One Jay!
I have most of the archive Newsletters downloaded myself. Very helpful indeed. JP

RockSim Tricks: Paper Transitions
2 Attachment(s)
custom paper transitions in the RockSim v8? thread over on TRF outlines how to make RockSim 8 print out a *traditional* shroud pattern as compared to the extremely *un*helpful "profile" printout :mad: (see examples below). Basically, the value (number) for both the "Length" and "Diameter" of both the front and rear shoulders should be "0" (zero). See the screenshot below. :D You can find additional information on the subject in "Peak of Flight" #136, in the article "Make Your Own Transitions," which tells you how to get rid of that unsightly seam, as well as propaganda about using rubber cement instead of white glue. :eek: And for Windows users, here's how to make "Alt + PrintScreen... take a screenshot of the currently selected window." |
Is semroc producing the Saros? I could not find it on the site .
I need the cone to replace the lost one on my original model. |
Quote:
They are not. Semroc only makes balsa cones at this time. It's impossible to turn a true Saros cone in balsa since there are little finlets that stick out the side of the original plastic cone. That's something where Mike at Moldin' Oldies may be able to make a resin dupe of it if someone sends him an original to make a mold from. |

That's pretty cool, Jay. What is it? The non-chunky version, I mean. |

Thanks, Jay, but in early 1972 I was a sophomore in high school and had no extracurricular activities at all. I think I missed that year's Centuri catalog (just like every other year's). |
RockSim: Paper Transitions
I wouldn't have to ask this question if I had some calipers, but here goes anyway. :o
Okay, all you RockSim gurus ("Craig? --Look at me, buddy!" ;) :D ): What thickness and which material (Paper, Cardboard?...) do you use to simulate lightweight cardstock for paper reducers (transitions)? Inquiring minds *desperately* want to know. :eek: (By which I mean "just me." :rolleyes: ) Cheers, |
