Podcast Question Thread!
Tonight we're doing an ask us anything type episode, so fire off some questions for me, Matt, Shane, and Taylor in the comments!
Rocket Logs iOS Open Testing
Hello!If you are an iOS user, you can now download Apple's TestFlight app and use the above link to install a test version of the Rocket Logs app. I am looking to get as many people testing as possible to ensure it's operating smoothly. The app is effectively in its "final form," so what I'm looking for here is bugs or crashes. So far, none have been reported, which is great to hear! Please feel free to download and test it out. Please also take screenshots and submit them to me at rocketvlogs911@gmail.com so I have a variet...
Airfest and Contest Video
Launch videos are going to be more like my older style ones with a lot more vlog style elements mixed in!Enjoy!
Silicdyne Reperix Unboxing
Figured I'd share this raw footage with ya'll!
Macho Matt L3 Early Release
We'll be debuting this on the live recording episode tomorrow, but figured I'd give ya'll a chance to see it ahead of time!
LOC Saturn V Updates
A lot of folks have asked about this build since my dad and I started it a few years ago. It's still in Idaho and my dad has recently been cracking away at it. It's looking pretty awesome!
N1560 Update
Hey ya'll!I'm part of a team based in Idaho that is flying an R motor at BALLS this year and still don't have all materials in hand for my N1560 project. So, while I still plan to start building it soon, it will not fly at BALLS this year.
It's Together!
Weighs in at 62lb without motors
Florescent Paints Are Always...fun
Yellow fin is going to have to look the way it looks and we'll try to take it easier on the remaining orange coats. Florescents are really prone to crackling like this, and the time constraints are what they are! It'll get repainted eventually. At least it'll have color!
Who wore it better?
I decided to bring the Minie Magg out and get the party started with an I800 VMAX
The Fins
They look so good
Fins Are Done
All Tip to Tip is on, and we coated it with West System laminating epoxy filled with 410 filler for sanding and smoothing today. Yesterday I painted the upper tube and nosecone and the plan is to paint the whole fin can white today, ground test tomorrow, and paint the fins from there. We're getting close!
Last T2T Set
This thing is a TANK. We think it'll handle pretty much anything that'll fit.
More Nike
That's a wrap for day one folks!
Fun Little Project
Landlord of the new place gave me the okay to put shelving up in the garage. These modular closet shelves are perfect for hanging rockets. Interlocking fins and airframes keeps them from rolling away and 16" centers make for a very usable 32" split between the brackets. 10/10 would recommend.
A Sneak Preview
Alriiiiight here's a like little something I've been planning and working on for the past few weeks. Please DO NOT SHARE OUTSIDE THE PATREON/CHANNEL MEMBERS SPACEMeet Rocket Logs: An app where all your rocket details (weigh, chutes, charge sizes, flight logs, photos, dates, etc.) can be tracked. It also has a page full of cool stats about all of your flight data and toggle-able advanced stats like GPS coordinates (that can be copied for future reference of your landing point) and total impulse tracking based on user inputted data.

Best Kits Under $100
We'll be doing an episode on best kits under $100 for mid and high power rocketry! Fire away!
Tips for First Big Launch
We're going to record an episode giving tips and pointers for folks attending their first big launch and want your input!What advice would you give to someone attending their first big launch?
Thank you for your patience!
The move, as expected, took a lot of annoying little turns, but we're successfully in. We're still setting up the house, but I'm hoping to start working on the N1560 rocket by the end of next week.That project will be documented exclusively on Patreon, YouTube Members posts, and on the Rocket Vlogs Discord supporter section until AFTER the rocket's flight. Of course, the big Nike Smoke project is coming soon too, and we will have all sorts of behind-the-scenes photos on that project as well!
