It's that time of the year again! We need your suggestions for podcast topics! What are some things you'd like to hear us talk about?

Keep in mind the topics need to be something we can dwell on for 45 minutes or so.

Also, let us know who you'd like to see as guests!

Launch contests! Most exciting, interesting ideas, your history with them, iconic ones, etc.

I think an episode on unique or non-standard building techniques would be really neat. You guys have done quite a few cool things on the fins and nosecones of the double Arcas and 12" Punisher, and I know personally I've done some non-standard stuff. Things like using a balloon to composite the inside of a cardboard/phenolic coupler tube which I've done several times, or like the giant Punisher fins have a foam core with layups over top. Or a hot-wire cut foam nosecone. I think the mailbag would be really fun with that idea too.

You mentioned recently how you modify your BP charges for high altitudes, what other tricks are recommended when flying high/fast?

Rocket Vlogs

I think we should wait until after BALLS and see how our high altitude flights go before we start giving advice. Haha

Ernesto

Ernesto

The pros and cons of different shock cords … use for different size rockets

Ernesto

An in-depth look at the differences of nose cones

Interview with one or more of the companies producing rocket electronics. Eggtimer, Missleworks, Featherweight, Raven, Jolly Logic. Pros/cons of the sensors they use. Issues reengineering due to component supply or need to miniature to better compete. Quality of GPS data and it's future in tracking. Issues with high altitude and high G and how that affects product design. I'm sure their are tons of other questions.

Brian Kelsay

Interviews about large rocket projects or high altitude and multi stage projects thru the years. You probably know more names of people than I do that are into this. Heck, Interview Cory from Kloudbusters. I saw him shred a big multi stage in Argonia. Maybe don't start off with that. 😆 😥
