Thank you for the info. I've heard something to that effect......I guess I'll just use it for fishing.....and that 30 cell Tiger train kite that I'm planning to build for my girlfriend.

30# works just fine with MMX birds......it's also lighter and easier to get into those BT-2.5 tubes.

Anyone have any idea about the heat resistance of Spectra line?

I think I earned mine using miles of it to hold together some of those really junky oil drilling rigs I used to roughneck on. Nowadays, I jury-rig gas analyzers and find ways to make certain...

One thing I love about MMX birds........I've had some failed streamer deployments, but none that were catastrophic in any way (i.e., no broken fins, crushed body tubes, etc). As long as the nose...

I'm not sure if this is my oldest, but I built it around 1997.

I'm not sure if this is my oldest, but I built it around 1997.

It will usually come back in one piece. Finding it......'nother story.

OK. I want one, too.

I saw that on PBS.....that story turned real sad, real fast.

I generally stick with my Xacto knives, but I have used a breakaway knife for long cuts before.

I ordered mine through E-Bay. When it arrived, the main body tubes were damaged. I replaced them with 2 24" body tubes, giving me an extra foot in length.

...

I haven't got to that point, yet. I'm probably going to give it one final coat of paint today.

I'm using Krylon semi-gloss white for two reasons, one, even though they were painted flat white...

I'm currently building a Dr. Zooch Saturn V, myself. I didn't take any pics....sorry.

I'll post pics of the finished product.

Same here.

BMS also sells BT-80s and they will slot them to your specs.

A 24mm Dead Ringer?

Several years back, I was looking at some microfilm of our local paper from 1972. I recall 2 ads; a new Olds Delta 88 for $2995 and an electronic calculator for $295. The calculator price kinda...

I was involved in some epic flame wars on MySpazz before they abolished the groups. I used Photoshop with devastating effect.

Here, I just chill and discuss rockets.

I got one in MMX.

I also have a Tres.

When I build, it's just me, my tools and supplies, my kit or parts, and my imagination. Good times!

I do MPR, will probably get into HPR, but I'm not planning to abandon MMX or LPR because of...

I've been toying with the idea of getting a few. They sort of remind me of the old Minimax motors.

Are those the Quest 20mm motors?

I need to get another #5 tip for my Paasche VL.

I'm toying with the idea of some sort of rotary space station thing using the MMX tubes and some depron foam.

2295' with all C6 motors.

What about........a million dollar gift certificate valid with any vendor?

The act of being made a guest On the Oprah show?

Off the top of my head, about 1/2 mile. I'll post a RockSim file in the morning.

I think I'll clone one. I used to have the regular Farside, but the rocket gods took it.
