Don't you believe it...
Sean Phelan's, Eradicator.
Are
you considering a transition from mid to high power? Check out Sirius Rocketry’s,
Eradicator. The
Eradicator contains LOTS of high-quality full-color water slide decals to make
it yet another beautiful Sirius Rocketry kit that is fun to build, display, and
fly!
Standing
almost four feet tall the Eradicator is a great demonstration rocket on midpower
motors, featuring slow liftoffs and graceful flights. When you wish to punch it
higher and faster and fly some high-power or do your cert, the Eradicator is
built rugged to accommodate a number of larger 24mm motors and reloads with its
heavy-duty thick-wall body tubes and motor mount for flights to 2800 feet and
beyond! The large 30" ripstop Nylon parachute will bring the Eradicator
back down to earth gently, ready for another exciting flight!
The
Eradicator is a large rocket that can be flown on F and G model rocket motors
and high-power motors to help the user transition to high-power rocketry. When
you’re ready to try for your Level 1 high-power certification, the Eradicator
can comfortably transition to an H motor in its 29mm motor mount and return
safely with its light, yet rugged construction on a 30" ripstop Nylon
chute! Utilizing multiple body tube diameters, fin strakes, fin and tail-ring
configuration, and sharp decals make the Eradicator a stunning model to build
and fly!
Stuart
Powley's, Eradicator, launched on a H motor.
Features:
Heavy
wall body tubes to stand up to the rigors of higher-impulse flight.
Precision
laser-cut aircraft plywood fins and centering rings.
Durable
30" ripstop nylon parachute from Top Flight Recovery.
Durable
400-pound test Kevlar™ shock cord mount and generous elastic shock cord to
soften the stress of deployment.
The
kit comes with an outstanding detailed 12-page instruction manual that Sirius
Rocketry is famous for. It includes clear step-by-step illustrations and
several pages of suggestions and tips to help you make the most of your build. All
Sirius kit instruction manuals are based on 40 years of rocketry experience.
Many
extras are also included so you do not have to purchase them separately or
modify the kit. Like a quick link for the parachute and positive motor
retention hardware. These are just some of the things that are optional in
other kits. Both a 1/4" launch lug and rail buttons for standard 1010 rail
are also included to give you the ability to launch on almost any club's
equipment.

Verna Starr Cestris Fighter!
This is our favorite Sirius kit, the Cestris.
The kit is intended to fly on a single engine but it was easily modified to a 3 engine cluster complete with Verna Starr fighter
decals, also available from Sirius.

It's A Small World After All
There have been several events in human
history that caused the planet to shrink without actually changing it's physical size. When men began to sail large ships
the world became a little smaller. Then trains did their part and not long after, single engine planes came along. Jets caused
another reduction in time and distance and finally, rockets.
All of those things had major impacts on bringing the world within easy reach of most people
but the latest and perhaps the greatest event to bring the world right to your finger tips is the internet. Suddenly, you
could travel the world, experience all kinds of events, visit places and meet people you may never have known otherwise.
Through this website and our internet connection we've made so many friends
from all over the world it's still hard to believe even after 25 years. We now have friends in 56 countries and most of them
are involved with hobby rocketry in some way.
I
don't have photos of them all so I'll just mention a few...
Pete Barrett, England.
I logged on my AOL account for the first time December 22, 1996. I had just acquired my first PC and it set me back
well over $2,400! I really didn't understand the internet or how to use it. Nor did I have any idea that I would soon make
so many friends and from all over the world. Many of them I have known since that first log on.
A lot of newsgroups and rocketry forums
have come and gone since then but amazingly a large number of the people I've met this way are still around enjoying this
hobby and are still friends.
Rolf Stabroth, Germany.
While many of these
friends are great builders and flyers, still enjoying rocketry, there are a few, like Rollie, (above) who are master craftsmen.
Thank the good Lord for internet language translators! We can actually exchange word for word emails that everyone can read
and understand regardless of their native tongue. I just type a message in English, click a box and instantly Rollie has it
in German.
David Miller, Wisconsin.
Some internet friends, like Dave Miller, are actual hobby rocket suppliers but
before he was a supplier, he was an active NAR and Tripoli member. Dave and his wife Evie, own Sirius Rocketry and they are
known far and wide for the quality of their kits and outstanding sales and service. The instructions for Sirius kits are close
to reading a good book. I've heard he even helped a sci-fi book series get off the ground.
Jamie
Hyneman, Eric Gates, Adam Savage - Myth Busters
We’ve
also met a few famous people you may know, like Jamie and Adam of Myth Busters
fame and in the middle, HPR guru Eric Gates, who acted as consultant on several episodes. We met Eric through Darrell Mobley's
Rocket Planet forum; he was very fond of Verna's rocket, Dorothy, and had planned on doing a 6 engine cluster two stage HPR
version, hopefully for one of the episodes.
The
VernaRockets Jolly Roger ball cap was a gift from us to Eric not long before he
passed. He wore it on the set and a show for Verna.
We even met a famous author, Homer Hickam,
through the hobby and internet. If you've seen the movie October Sky, it's based on his book, Rocket Boys. Homer is a great
guy, he helped our local NAR club founder, Ron Witherspoon, get things going in 2004. This photo is from a Birmingham Rocket
Boys outreach event he came to in west Birmingham in 2008.
Ron Witherspoon, me, Kim Mitchel
The two men above I met on the internet before Verna and I ever attended a BRB
club launch. Ron founded the club and Kim has been the Section Advisor almost from day 1 in 2004. They're not just great hobbyists,
they're friends we actually got to meet in person.
If
you want to meet great people and make new friends, attend a launch near you soon. If you don't know where the closest launch
to you might be, just let your fingers do the walking. I did and I can say it's been a blast! No pun intended.
