I've been scrambling like a mad man to get a few rockets completed to fly at FITS this weekend in Eastern Washington.

I cut tubes and fin slots, filled seams with bondo spot glazing putty, sanded...

Holy thread resurrection, Batman!

Hey....and look on the bright side....if you do end up with kids with a few extra fingers, the gypsies will pay top dollar!

That makes sense....thanks

Are you referring to well nuts?

Hey guys,

building my first rocket with rail buttons....only one question....HOW?

Thanks!

My point is he asked why the FAA would prevent someone from restoring certain aircraft. It isn't a matter of restoring the aircraft that is in question....it is the FAA preventing someone from flying...

When I first saw this thread I couldn't believe it...A felony for a science experiment? Ridiculous.

Then I read the linked story....that was no science experiment. You can't just go around mixing...

The post read "The FAA would not give him an LOA (letter of Authorization) to FLY the 104. From what I have heard, the FAA will only allow ex fighter jocks to FLY the 104."

You are free to restore...

Just to put that into perspective....one of those shots showed just the back half of the fuselage along a tape measure....22 inches. For just the back half!

Yup...was just about to say the same thing. I corrected that problem by getting a longer rod so I could put the safety pin higher up the rod so it wasn't so close to the deflector plate

There is a 1:32nd scale kit on it's way......my wife just gave me my birthday present a little early and booked two seats on the Wings of Freedom B-17 at the end of June. Expect pics


BTW....I...

Bears are like the ninja of the animal kingdom.

It's insane how fast they appear and disappear for being such a large beast

You guys should come up and visit the PNW.....Paul Allen has a gorgeous collection of warbirds up at Payne Field and they have a "fly day" once a month. Coming up in June is Flying Tigers day, and...

you darned cotten headed ninny muggins!

That looks like my accident, only on the drivers side and I was in a 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage. I was driving on the freeway and got t-boned by a drunk in a Ford Explorer. I heard tires squealing and as...

Check your lease man! You're living in fudge city!

Saw a dude the other day in the mall with a shirt that said "Bluth Banana Stand" so I told him I would meet him at the Big yellow joint. He...

For some reason.....I see this rocket and get an Eddie Van Halen guitar solo stuck in my head!

Looks awesome!

Open Rocket can save the file as a RKT.

There is only one way to find out for sure.....it isn't like the programs are going to explode if it doesn't work

I am sure the same could have been said in 1961 after Kennedy chose to go to the moon.

ACK? ACK ACK ACK ACK!

Well....for 15 bucks, you can get plans.....and as an added bonus, they will throw in parts to build a wedgie! :D

Wait.....is this thread about your first mid power rocket, or first non Estes rocket?


My first mid power was an Estes Pro Series II Leviathan and Ventris. I built that at the same time, the...

Go for it

Hey all,

I am looking at some nosecones and need some info.

Looking on PML's site, and it says their "2.5" nose cone has a diameter of 2.56....is that the shoulder or the exposed diameter?
...

Classic

Well how about that! Thanks for pointing that one out!

I've been playing around with the decals...love it!

Heck...just go build a pad. Go get some PVC pipe at Lowes and build a nice little tripod. While you are there you can grab a launch rod and a a clay plate (the kinda that goes under a flower pot) for...

One thing I would love to see is reorientation of fin templates when saving to PDF.

Currently, fins are orientated across the page. Which is fine IF your fin is shorter than 8.5 inches.

The...
