too many fun items
I have a working Adept Apogee deployment system still and some of the Robbies Rockets flashbulbs. They do come in handy sometimes :-)

Me too, and a Robbbies LES. I gave up on them when one failed to fire at LDRS in 1996.

Orangeburg, SC at the sod farm. Flew a G motor altitude attempt there in a rocket named the ripper on a G25 single use. Lost a 3" dia phenolic rocket on the opposite side of the road in the tall pine trees that drifted back over the flight line. Also lost a nice engraved motor case in that rocket too.

I remember it well...it and LDRS-19 in 2000 (same location) were by far the shortest distance I EVER had to travel to an LDRS: an hour and half DRIVE by car!
Many hours of both events on videotape.... Good size crowd for both events as I recall. Wow, I am just now realizing that even the latter of those two events is 20 years old. Geez, seems like yesterday. Earl

I bought a bunch of Robbies Rockets flashbulbs and thermalite igniters. At LDRS one year robbie GAVE me a really nice cluster igniter. It had a short length of thermalite running up to a flashbulb and then had three long leads of thermalite running in the opposite direction with black shrink wrap around the bulb where all four thermalite lead were touching the bulb. I swear the thermalite to the motors each whip had to be about 12" long. Just GAVE it to me to try it out. Worked flawlessly. I loved their products.

I know I saw you there filming and I think we actually met casually I knew who you were from buying some of your videos. I still have several of those VHS videos in my closet.

Nice! Our pop up was next to the guy who did the Flying Pyramid of Death that crashed nearby, and we were with Neil and Barb and their big SWAT. We did not get that you have to drink ice water there to survive. I Flew a 7motor cluster in a Loc Magnum (my avatar picture) that I had racked with electronics burning and they made me take it down for the Brusier Drag race. After I got it back on the rack it took off on Blue Thunder, two I357s, two H238s and Two G110s, and at a second and a half lit a K550 with a timer. It was up for ages and deployed the main right behind the pad it left. I think it got 7500 on that flight. We really enjoyed it, including the real fireworks in the host hotel parking lot on July 4th. We had to leave early because a guy I was with had a commitment. I had to pull over at 4am and sleep at a rest stop on the way back to PA or I wouldn’t have made it. Those were the days. I have Earl’s Video, I loved them, remember the anticipation waiting until they arrived? I think it might have been the first East Coast LDRS, so everyone and anyone had to be there. |

One is a LOC Lil' Nuke you can see the sticker on the payload section I added to that rocket. The other is a 3" diameter Public Enemy Ultra Fatboy that I extended. The sticker isn't visible but it was extended to have a section to carry the AltAcc2A. That flight was less than favorable but the rocket was repaired and the altimeter did survive to fly another day. I loved that altimeter
