Back in August of last year a post was made about homemade terminals that go thru the bulkhead wall and get glued in so there is no corrosion and no gas leakage. You can find it at: Forum

I use my electronic reloading scale that I use for measuring powder. Works great fro small amounts. I also have the Harbor Freight scale good to 75 pounds and I have an Ohaus scale for weights up to...

How come no one has suggested a scratch build of an A-5 Vigilante? I think the wingtips were movable and could down-slope, so you could have downward wingtips and use those for more directional...

Wait, I have done sailing. It is a hole in the water that you pour money into. but I think there is something worse. Keeping an aircraft flying. Parts on a sailboat or a rocket do not time out with...

If you have any scrap tubing, preferably larger than what you need, you can always make a tubing coupler. I do it more often than buying, these days; mainly because I do not want to wait, and I do...

FWIW, I wrote an article for Apogee's Peak of Flight weekly e-magazine on how to make your own rail buttons. Maybe it might give you some ideas. On the other hand, it might be a complete waste of...

Now hold on there boy, and keep your wings on! (LOL) Now I always thought the DeHavilland DH-2 was a beautiful plane. You might be able to do something with that!

I may have mis-interpreted the comments, but I was under the impression that starting in September of 1939, according to some Spitfire and Hurricane pilots, (so my information is second-hand at best)...

My mom had a '68 Lincoln Continental with the suicide doors. It had a 460cid V-8, Holley 4 barrel, duel exhaust, electronic ignition, water injection and a C-6 (?) transmission. The car could move...

I was always taught that if it's weird, it's British. If it is ugly, it is French. And if it is weird and ugly, it is Russian. I am stating no opinion here, just restating what was stated to me.

You might also consider the Feuerlilie f-55. It is more unique than the Natter. I will say they are rocket aircraft, vs something as creative as the Lanc. If you are going in the direction of the...

Have you considered building a Ba 349B Natter? You could build it with 1 or 5 motors.

Not much to report here. First car that I bought was a Fiat 2000GT coupe. That was my first experience with a dual overhead cam motor. I also had an interesting vehicle that was designed to operate...

Congratulations on the great flight. The video looks great. Very stable platform and well balanced, which means the build was very good also. MY regrets at the damage sustained, but you accomplished...

Find yourself a tire inner tube. Slice off a patch bigger than you need. Poke a hole in it and have at it. It stretches real good. I used to make rubber band rifles using inner tubes. Wicked. I hope...

FastCargo, I read the same thing, and I agree. Cargo shift aft, tail heavy, trim is off, no way to recover. Not enough elevator to ever recover. You could not get the nose down, ever. It was horrible...

Which day? Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?

I been to New York City and two worlds fairs and I ain't never seen nothing like that. Lets see, NCR is flying this weekend at the north site Friday through Sunday. Will your presence be felt? IF so,...

I just saw this video, one of several, and it was absolutely amazing to me. In this video, a 747-400 freighter takes off and stalls, then it falls out of the sky and explodes. Mixed reports, either 7...

Thanks Chris. I appreciate your comments. I believe I meant that at 2500', I can observe everything from the ground, I can see how the chute(s) deploy, the ejection charges at work, etc. With these...

4kids49, I like how you are doing it. I am ready to fly my L3, which is an Intimidator 4. I am going to fly it on a "J" which should keep it around 2500 feet. I can fly it on a "K", but RockSim...

I use smaller motors on complicated high power rockets on the first flights. This is done so the rocket will be lower in altitude and I can then observe everything going on, ejection charges,...

I do the tube wrap, but I use lite stick masking tape for my paper. It stays put. I wrap, then cut wherever I want, unwrap, and then take a pair of dividers to help find the middle of the strip. Then...

:cool:That should be really hot to handle, unless you are wearing gloves, on that hot summer day in the direct sunlight. That is my first thought about it. Excuse me while I's get my sun...

I have an Intimidator III FG rocket. I did my L1 and L2 certs with it. It has iron-on monokote on everything but the nose cone. (It is so much a PITA to tape on a finish on a nose cone, can be done,...

FWIW, I purchased some .002 thick chrome mylar from a hydroponics supply house. It is 48" X 200'. I paid about $30 for it. Now I am making streamers any size I want. Of course I have more streamer...

I live in northern Colorado where a number of the ACE Hardware stores also carry the aircraft plywood, besides the Michael's, Hobby Town's, and Hobby Lobby.

I bought my 1010 on ebay in 4' lengths and then made a connector to make 8' long. Shipping was around $20. I do not know what it would be to Alaska, but normally 48" length is cheaper to ship than...

You are correct for consumer quality equipment. Commercial grade is quite a bit more hefty. I had a consumer grade that I paid $109 for and it was gone by the end of the first season. The second one...

I bought a canopy on line at SAM's Club. It is a commercial grade EZ-Up. Cost about $200+. Has big feet, so that I can tie it down and if I desire, as I did last year, I took two five gallon buckets...
