I like fin reinforcement modification. I augered a Aerotech Mustang from nearly 700 ft and the middle of the model sustained the most damage, but the fins were absolutely golden. So I will try this...
I began this build a few days ago and when I got to the part where i was about to join the BT together I realized I missed an opportunity to deviate from the destructions. Although this new line of...
Thanks for the response Bob, but I forgot that the baffle also acts as the MMT centering ring and I was going to retract that post.
I am actually working out the particulars of lopping off the...
Wow...here I am on vacation in the OBX and brought my rocket stuff to work on...It is June 29th. My last post was March12... So, I will post the images and what I plan to do. It looks like I will...
Hi I saw a couple of posts and then saw the "HARBOR FRIGHT", thats right. no misspelling.

I just began the forensic work on the MUSTANG and it doesn't look good.
The cooling mesh almost looks rusted.
The top of the motor tube is crunched in and the bulkhead has a crescent missing. I...
Well I'll be hornswaggled. I guess he means to say allude and boy do they ever. They casually mention this with the urgency one uses to apply a ^%$#%$@#$% decal. This should be written in bold and...
Hi Vincent,
We have the 1.9 rocket components in stock, the instructions that come with the kit elude to the care of the cooling mesh. In a nutshell you take a coat hanger or other stiff wire and...
Wow I was surprised to see such a response!
I went to the aerotech site and the list 1.9" unslotted tubes
12" #11912
22.75" #11926
1.9" coupler #11804
then there is a bulkhead assembly:...
Kurt you left Early.
It was bound to happen sooner or later.
I do not know what actually happened but the forensic evidence points to the Aerotech baffle fouling with previous ejection gas...
Acrylic dissolves with WINDEX or ammonia. Sounds like everyone here is NOT using an airbrush and i can't imagine using this stuff without one and the mess it would make as it dries and it dries fast....
ugly!!!!
I PRIME ALL PAINT JOBS with 2 coats from a can.
I never thought of using CA to fill in the spirals!
How are you applying the FUTURE GREEN? Sounds like it is going on heavy and...
UGGGGGG! Been there DONE that!!. AINT goin back. You can't be sure of the organic solvents used in paint cans and just when you are proud of the work you've done: CRINKLE WRINKLE. I have just gone...
I think I will go with some mesh and epoxy..The mesh is to localize the repair and maintain a uniform thickness of epoxy i guess....here are some pictures, will prime and shoot some acrylic...thanks...
DANG!!!! When our birds go into the repair hanger it is a big effin deal isn't it. Thanks!!!:cheers:
all i want to do since we are a million miles from anywhere is if I patch the outside whether I want to use a mesh or perhaps tissue paper but more importantly what cement should i use? CA, Epoxy or...

Hello Everyone!

Call the company, I think you may be able to order some directly.
You can probably use it on any kind of paint, I didn't mean to imply that it may not be compatible.
I was saying that spray canned paint contains organic solvents like xylene or acetone and being...
I am happy to report that I have used Future floor finish ( product in the picture ) for 3 models: Arreaux, Mustang and the Big Dog.
