Ok I finally worked out what was causing my new issues..... I had the compiler set to compile for a 16C711 instead of a 16F88, I don't think I've ever felt like hitting my head against the wall more after I saw that.
For most people it's just fun, a progression to bigger, noisier and cooler rockets from the little ones they started on. For me, my own personal goal is to first develop a suborbital space rocket (I would be the first amateur in Australia to break 100Km altitude) and from there I would like to start an Australian orbital launch company.Originally Posted by Joe S.
I'm currently 2 years into an aeronautical engineering degree, so I know what I'm doing when it comes to most of this stuff, and nothing trumps practical experience. There is a growing market for satellite delivery, central Australia is almost a perfect location for this sort of thing and there is a huge technology vacuum in the region.
I know how paranoid people are and it annoys me know end, I've personally been looking into the laws down here before I take a step in any direction. For my next rocket I'm going to have to buy some concentrated hydrogen peroxide (oxidiser for the liquid fuelled motor) and I can already tell it's going to be difficult as a private citizen, even while being perfectly legal.
