If your concern is price than do a search on kaplow clips for motor retention.

I have used them and they work great.

Cool kit. I painted my yellow tube also. At first I thought it was some kind of long coupler. After looking at the instructions I too grabbed the yellow paint. :roll:

I left my fins square and...

My clip snapped off my elec. beam II launch controller. Since I lost the clip and was getting a new one I went ahead and picked up 50 ft of speaker wire. Soldered it on as well as the new clips...

Just as stated above.


Give him a call. Sure it may be a day or two, but don't just send off an e-mail and hope someone reads it. BTW, I tried the web master email and it bounced me. So I...

Back in Feb, I ordered a 24/40 case. Didn't see or hear anything for a while, so I called. I was told they were on backorder from Aerotech. Not really RAH fault.

Sure a site with updated...

If you put an E9 in there, you won't need to worry about it after the first flight... You'll probably set the thing in orbit somewhere between the hubble telescope and the moon.

Mainly in my office but generally all over the office. I have a shelf, some sit on the desk. I have one on top of the printer. Have some in the garage. Also found one in the trunk of the car.

I placed an order with RAH 2/26. Didn't hear anything on it over the week so called them Monday. Talked to some nice lady who said they were waiting on an order from the supplier (Aerotech) for...

Is that like going to a garage sale and seeing posters in a mailing tube, thinking is it worth buying the posters just to get the tube?:D

Or walking around the office seeing mailing tubes with...

When first I got back in to rocketry I would drool :eyepop: over the BSD kit reviews on EMRR's site. I like the Horizon kit! The THOR is another! Reading the reviews on the site, the kits are top...

It is sad when a day comes where stores like JCPenny's announces they are cutting costs by doing away with the catalogs. I remember as a kid moving all the phone books off of the catalogs to look...

Funny how times have changed. I got a letter from my neighbor that my clothes line was visible from his backyard. So much for doing my part to go green and save a little electricity. This wasn't a...

I soaked a few paper towels in borax and water, then let them dry. Then cut them up into squares. I even cut a slot in the cornet and use just like a nomex cloth. I can get about 5-10 flights out...

I saw a video where they used the FnF then scraped a flat razor across the spiral to pull off the excess. Haven't tried it myself, but seems like it would work. I got one waiting for primer now so...

There is a post on here somewhere (archives???) where they used a spent 24mm case to make a 18mm adapter. For the life of me I cannot find it.

As Sandman stated 18mm motor fits nice inside the...

For my son (9) and I, we went with the Solar Scout set at Wally-world. Motors were fairly cheap there also. My son is a little impatient with glue, sanding, and painting, however these kits are...

I bought an starter kit with the porta pad II also. I have launched all my stuff including the estes eliminator on a D. I haven't had issues with any of them. I do recommend weighting the legs down...

Never thought about sticking the rocket in my mouth.:eyepop: But now that they mention it.....:jaw:

:roll:At first I though ooh no... But then I got it..... :roll:

All I have to say is thank god for the Internet! Its the only way I can make sense of some of this stuff. Then again, the Internet is where I run into all this jargon.... :roll:

Most important thing I found is the launch lug. Make sure it slides well on the rail. Sure it should work out fine on an A motor, although some kits in the 22" range call for at least a B. on TRF...

I too had the plesure of trying out the modelrocket.us kit. I had the Centauri kit, which comes in pieces. Very nice kit with quality parts. At first the balsa wood seemed a little cheap, but...

Holy fins batman! :y:

Sorry to here that. I too have been put on hold for any new builds. Got some motors on the way so we shall see how long they last.... Sad thing is I only have 4 kit builds. oh, well christmas is...

For small towns like mine, online is really the only option. A few years back there was a Michaels store here. They closed after their lease was up, just not enough support for that kind of stuff. ...
