you can use up to 2 spacers so that will give you an idea of what cases you might want. I also like the CTI spacer system more than the aerotech. I am not aware of spacers for any 24mm cases so...

you definitely want to follow those instructions on spray epoxies - even longer than recommended wont hurt or you risk cracking

here is a pershing-inspired one I need to finish up - bt 20, 13mm - calling it BlackJack. plan on the body being the green of the nose cone and 2-3 flourescent orange or yellow stipes so it will be...

are you looking for green or something beside BP? there are some D & E motors from aerotech but I think they are blue thunder & white lighting(maybe some black jack/black max avail too). there used...

bought these for another reason - time to re-purpose a couple into the range box96943

wont hurt a thing - just a little extra drag - your rocket wont go quite so high - but you wont be able to tell the difference unless you are doing altitude or duration contests

Nothing really wrong with them - they are stick-on so they are thicker and dont lay as well as water-slide so some people dont like stick-on decals for that reason. the other minor quibble with the...

I use co2 tank - pretty portable - 20lb CO2 tank weighs about 50lb full, plus a lb or so for the regulator so lets say 50 lb so easy enough to move around. it should last a while. Not sure about...

recently finished it and only flown it twice but all three fired both times but then I am using an aerotech interlock launcher and a 12V auto jump pack so have lots of amps available - used estes...

canon vs nikon - that can be as bad as ford vs chevy - both are good - I would just go on price unless you have friends who have either nikon or canon & would let you borrow lenses

here is a scratch bertha inspired 13mm cluster - and painted flourescent pink too:cool:9562795628

try paper/cardstock - the window portions you can color blue or black

you can also get 3/16" launch lugs & 3 or 4 ft 3/16" rod at hardware store - steel rod should only be a dollar or 2 & launch all using the 3/16" rod - slightly more drag but doesn't really matter if...

I have the aerotech one and just looked at the other - both probably work fine - aerotech has longer stock cord, the mighty d looks more versatile in the long run

launched mine using aerotech H128W's and cti H163W & H175SS's

I should be there weather permitting - I didnt go to the last 2 due to wind forcast

i ordered the fliskit mercury several weeks ago - looks good but havent started it. Also have built a Red River red strike - I think they have a couple other 13mm models as does apogee. I like the...

shouldnt be a problem - just sand it smooth trying not to sand the surrounding body tube too much

thanks - been thinking about the 3 or 4" one probably get the avbay

Possible to use internal launch lugs if the rocket is large & long enough to just place the rocket over the rod? Or internal with upper lug in the the nose or transition section so rod passes inside...

Has anyone put together one the basic blues kits from always ready? Just wondering what their impression of the kit was. and did you add their avbay or build your own?

did find a build thread...

i recently tried the rustoleum camouflage in deep forest green on a estes mini honest john - came out a nice flat deep green - probably not mil spec color but close enough for sports scale stuff -...

I like to double/triple the recoat(not the within an hour time, the 1 to 3 day one) time when I use enamel rattle cans to eliminate that problem. I think they dream up those times in a climate...

thanks - I have been wondering for a while if gesso would work as a balsa filler but never get around to trying it

ok - that makes sense then to sand it at a slight angle - normally fins need to be perpendicular to the body but there are exceptions

what kit are you building - the fin edge glued to the body should be flat & square - the leading edge is sometimes rounded or sanded to a knife edge profile but if you dont it wont matter much at all...

vinegar

I do mine separately - if you do you will want to mask the shoulder so you dont have to sand paint off it later. I always mask it after the primer coat on balsa cones - just a little extra...

you can make a line as thin as drawn with a pencil to a line/swath/path 3" wide - making pencil thin lines takes a bit of practice but for just laying down a coat of paint you use go wide and takes...

Been wanting to try micro-max so ordered one of their starter sets direct from quest along with a couple other items - they threw in one of their flics rubber band launched kits as a freebie
