e-bay questions

What JW said. I’ve used GLR’s rivets successfully to hold things on that I didn’t want flying apart. Forgot about those… I’m using three to hold my Beer Boost nose on for Oktoberfest. 😉

If you need some or want to try them I have some white and black ones to choice from.

Bruce,
Did you use removable pins to hold the ebay in place or epoxy the sleeve into the VA? I was planning on using the pins so if I do another 3″ rocket I can use the bay in it too.

I’m off today, so I’m going to try and get it finished up. I’m heading to the garage to make a ring cutter for my router table like Mike B’s….. That DC20 is going to fit nicely in that cone. This is the way I redid the unit. I used epoxy to hold the antenna base in that position and re soldered the wire. I’ve only tested it to about a mile so far, in houses.

here’s the DC20 now.

How small a tube will that fit into now?

Scott,
As it is now, the port in my nose cone is 1-7/8″ diameter and it slides in with room to spare. It would easily work in a 2″ nose cone, I just checked it against my Talon 2. At it’s widest it is just under 1-3/4″. Hope that helps.

I have a bag of the GLR rivets, Jeremiah told me I would need some sooner or later and I like to be prepared. I’m starting to lean toward just epoxying it in. The next rocket I do will be a scratch built 4″ and I already have the bay for it.

Back to the basement…….

PS,
Scott, I will be in Longmont on Saturday, I could bring it with me if you wanted to check it out. I’ll be at a birthday party near the reservoir on the east side of town. PM me and I’ll give you me cell number.
