Garbee Rockets

- -Photo of Bdale and Robert with -Horizon just before successful level 2 certification flight -

-Building and launching model rockets is one of our favorite hobby activities -right now. -While everyone in the family gets into the act in one way or another, Bdale -and Robert are the most serious and so most Garbee rocket projects end up -being father and son affairs... -

-

-Bdale is -NAR Sr member 87103 and -Tripoli member 12201, and holds a level 3 -high power certification. -Robert is NAR -Jr member 87104. -We have family memberships in (and regularly enjoy flying our models with!) -local clubs -COSROCS, which is -NAR section #515, -SCORE, which is -NAR section #632, -and NCR, which is -NAR section #565 and -Tripoli Rocket Association Prefecture #72. -We have also flown with -Tripoli Colorado and -ARS. -

-Vendors we frequent: -

- -
-See some of our launch photos in Bdale's Flickr Photostream. -
- -Bdale's L3 Projects - - -
-

-A related project Bdale works on intends to deliver a set of fully open -hardware and software designs for rocketry avionics, under the overall name -AltusMetrum. -

-
- -

-Rocketry books we like: -

-

-Note that Topics in Advanced Model Rocketry is definitely not for -everyone, as it's heavy on math and isn't a "how to" book at all! -The others are great general books for learning about and gaining greater -enjoyment from the hobby. -

- -

-We're planning to put more info here soon, including information about our -rocket fleet, projects we're working on, launch logs, and links to other -resources on the web we've found useful. -Check back from time to time and see what we're up to! -

This rocket flew beautifully but a + significant portion was lost and not recovered. Feel free to look through + my [collection of photos](http://gallery.gag.com/rockets/yikstik/) + from the build and flight. + +* A second airframe for NAR L3 certification, this one based on a + Polecat Aerospace [Goblin 10](airframes/goblin10) kit and capable of + flying at more launch sites in Colorado. Flew on 15 November 2008 at the + SCORE Hudson Ranch launch site on an Aerotech M1297W + to 5953 feet AGL for a successful level 3 certification! See + [photos by James Russell](http://picasaweb.google.com/jamesr2/StealeyMemorialLaunchSiteHudsonRanch) + and a [Jeff Lane video](http://cosrocs.org/all%20other%20videos/2008videos/11-15hudson/bdale_L3.mov) + of the flight!

Perhaps best known as the place to get the RockSim + rocket design and simulation software (which we wish came in a Linux + version!), we've also bought lots of + [parts](http://www.apogeerockets.com/building_supplies.asp) + from them for building rockets from scratch, and we really like some + of the [Dynastar](http://www.dynastar-rockets.com/) mid-power + kits like the Rip-Roar and Sky Torpedo. + +* [Giant Leap Rocketry](http://giantleaprocketry.com/) is a + good source for components for building high power rockets. We particularly + like the Pinnacle nose cone series, and DynaWind pre-glassed airframe + tubing. Local rep Joe Hinton shows up at various launches we attend, and + gets most of our commercial motor reload business. + +* [Public Missiles](http://www.publicmissiles.com/) make very nice parachutes + and HAMR retainers, which we like for 29-54mm motors. + +* [Discount Rocketry](http://www.discountrocketry.com/) + seems to consistently have the best prices on kits and motors, but often + are out of stock on things we want. We've bought lots of + [Estes motors](http://estesrockets.com), + smaller [Aerotech reloads](http://aerotech-rocketry.com), + and [Rouse-Tech cases](http://rouse-tech.com) from them. And they're + responsive and helpful on the phone. + +## Photos ## + +See some of our launch photos in Bdale's Flickr Photostream. + +## Electronics ## + +A related project Bdale works on delivers fully open hardware and software +designs for rocketry avionics, under the name +[Altus Metrum](http://altusmetrum.org). + +## Rocketry books we like ## + +Note that Topics in Advanced Model Rocketry is definitely not for +everyone, as it's heavy on math and isn't a "how to" book at all!
