<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 10pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;">The LOC IV is a good, classic mid/high power rocket with a nice bigg 4" BT (body tube).. Great choice! Have any pictures of your build you want to share?</p>

<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 10pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Did you have a 38mm motor or casing for it yet? Did you have a certified/HP mentor? Please feel free to ask questions here and we'll answer what we can. I know that Bob, Pete, Carlos, Steve myself or others would be glad to help with any design/build, or cert questions you might have.</p>

<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 10pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;">As for your lugs.. We have all the common rod, rail and unistrut sizes out there. That rocket could fly on either a set of 1/4" lugs, or the more common/modern 10/10 rail buttons or conformal railguides. Most of our guys seems to prefer the new, easy to use well-nut style rail buttons like these:</p>

<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 10pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;">They're a little more expensive, but a real dream to use.. not like the old days we used to mess with blocks of wood, T-nuts and epoxy. :)</p>

I will bring a Loc 1V for an H engine and a couple of<br />> others that fly with the Apogee F10 which are neat with about an 8 sec burn<br />> time. <br />> <br />> What type of launcher do you use as I need to know what to install in lug and/or<br />> rail button sizes.<br />> <br />> I have been in and out of rocketry on several occasions since 1958 right after<br />> Sputnik. I started up again this past Dec. I am 78 yrs old this year and this<br />> will be my first launch since late 60s so not of much help now but will assist in<br />> the future.<br />> --------------------------------------------<br />> On Tue, 3/6/18, Thomas Tweeks Weeks <tom@theweeks.org> wrote:<br />> <br />> Subject: [NRVR-Members] Need Helpers for March Launch, and Outreach events<br />> To: nrvr-members@nrvr.org<br />> Date: Tuesday, March 6, 2018, 12:11 AM<br />> <br />> Hey<br />> all!<br />> <br />> Launch on March<br />> 24th!

Plus we'll also be getting<br />> the word out about our club, and attracting science-minded<br />> parents. Just the kind of folks we need to grow the<br />> club. Right now it's just me and my ugly rockets<br />> and Bob's showing up later.. But WE NEED SOME BIG and<br />> COOL LOOKING rockets to show off! and if we play our cards<br />> right, we might even get a tour of the VT Aerospace wind<br />> tunnel (the kind used in the Hidden Figures Movie!).<br />> <br />> Reply<br />> to me if you can help out.
