Does anyone know anything about these yet? They look pretty cool, but I assumed they would spin on the way down. If they just go up a little and tumble down I'd be really disapointed and bored.

I have had my own Cosmic Cobra and Helicat lawn darts. The Cobra's was undetermined, but the Helicat failure was in the motor retention system in the rear fin assembly. I recently got my Series 13...

I've spent a lot of time myself pondering what I should get when I start MPR. I was down to CTI and Aerotech when I was given the best advice: what's most available to you? Now both are easily...

BROE does look like a good bet, but I'll wager the Phantom will give it a tough fight.

Warning: Moon Tea will not help you to avoid pregnancy. I don't care what you read in those books.

Yeah, there's still a lot of work to be done, but it's coming along quite nicely.

There was a code in PC Gamer's December issue you can use to get a bobblehead figure in your cockpit, but I've...

Does anyone have the December issue of PC Gamer?

When I say I have to "drain the lizzard," it IS a euphemism.

When I say I need to "polish my launch rod," it's not a euphemism.

Chances of getting the flu are pretty low, and if you do catch it, the odds of it becoming anything serious are also very low. On the other side the risk of having a reaction to the vaccine are also...

I prefer 5 shroud lines. After buying a bunch of Estes chutes, I found the plastic too thick and don't pop open well if you leaved them packed for a long time (I'm lazy).

My favorite chute is to...

Update: several attempts to flatten the fins have failed. I'm just going to fill in some divots with the Titebond molding and trim glue and just glue them on very carefully.

I sanded the CWF smooth on all the fins, but some of them warped durring the process. After searching the threads I took the worst one and microwaved it in a damp towel. It's been sitting in the...

I just hang my rockets upside down from the clothes line in the back yard and use the spray bottle to apply. I put in a spent motor with a string plugged in the end instead of an ignitor. It will...

I cut the fore BT this week and sanded the tip relatively flat. I won't be able to glue it in place and fill in the gaps until I have a chance to swing by the local army surplus store for some...

I decided to make this a zipper-less rocket because it's become such a pain in the ass that I want it to last as long as possible. With that in mind I went with two half-moons for the mid and lower...

I've brought up this design before, but I decided to start over since the name, materials and design are now finalized.

I've completed the motor mount and baffle with out getting and pictures...

Thank you, that's perfect. After posting I e-mailed them again and got back the scientific response of "not quite 2"."

I once dropped my car off at Discount Tire to have a new set of tires put on. I was waiting at home when they called me about a problem. I was missing a lug bolt on two different tires and they broke...

Yeah, I had to cut them wide and then spend a lot of time with the dremel and a sanding wheel.

I recently had to cut some "peace sign" fins out of plywood and realized that I didn't have the proper tools. As my small saw from the dollar store would only cut in a curve of it's own choice I had...

Did you happen to get a #13 baffle? I need to know how tall they are to see if it will fit into a project, but they don't e-mail me back.

It still has the engine block ring in it. My Viking is slip fit with that tape crap and I absolutely hate it. If I had to do that one over, I'd put an engine hook on it like the Hi-Flier.

Until now I've stored all my rockets RTF with few problems. We're talking wadding, chutes, motors and ignitors. I have had the occasional chute that did not fully open, but even a crappy chute makes...

I prefer the empy desert for my paintball games and, trust me, the cops have better things to do than drive around the desert looking for people; just remember to be fire safe. If you're on state...

No, that's not a typo. I've adjusted the name of this rocket to more accurately fit it's construction. After slapping a few EX2 rockets together with my daughter I picked this an Estes Photon...

My son is only 4 so when I got him a High Flier I had to build it for him, but when it came time for painting he wanted it pink. So we did.

I'm also attracted to the Leviathan, and plan to get that one once I have the appropriate ground support. I've just never liked rockets that are larger on the top than the bottom.
