How big do you want it? I'm several hours away from you, over around Beaumont, but maybe I can help. I can route the channel on the table saw if you can find a measuring device and give me the...

Ordered one of those fancy orange parachutes from Aerocon ( http://aeroconsystems.com/cart/all-parachutes/72-inch-orange-parachute/ ). Ordered E & F reloads from Hobbylinc. Lost control and ordered...

Got a late this morning, but drove the 2 hrs to NASA anyway. Got there just in time to watch the flight line being torn down. Harold was kind enough to leave us an 1/8" rod up long enough to put a...

All good here in the south. The storms were up in Spooks neck of the woods. My thought are with those affected.

People ask me where I am from, and I respond with, "I don't have a from." I have lived in Ohio, North Carolina, Florida, California, Idaho, Virginia. Louisiana and now Texas. In my work I have spent...

I think he is going to have a long walk... He is relying on a couple shear pins to support the entire rocket while the drogue deploys. My feeble mind believes that he will shear the pins early and...

Opened the packages that had arrived while I was away and fondled the rocket related materials.... Sanded a 3" nose cone to fit the tube. Still seems a bit snug, but I ran out of time.

It has been brought to my attention that I never updated/finished this thread. Well, the sad reality is that I slept Easter weekend away. I left my hotel room only long enough to do laundry and get...

When I was in the retail world in the '70s (small chain drug store), we counted everything on the shelf, by hand, once a year. Our weekly ordering was also done by hand, walking the isles and making...

Can't go, vision not correctable to 20/20.... dang it

68 Mustang coupe. By the time I bought it in '77, the engine and transmission had been swapped out. Was rough, and needed a lot of TLC, but when one is 16, a 302, headers & 4speed is way cool...

WD is no longer a lubricant (contrary to their labelling) The silicone was removed from the formula in the early 70's. Now days it is just a penetrant.
From the FAQ on their web page:
"What does...

Rocket money comes from my expense payments. Unfortunately, they haven't paid my expenses for 2 weeks now. When they get me caught up (hopefully next week) I'll see about ordering. If they are gone...

I'm currently in NW West Virginia / SE Ohio. I realized today that I haven't experienced a real spring in years. Here the weather is warming, and the scent of blossoms & fresh cut grass fill the...

Just dreamed and drooled... <sigh>

I had to make that trip about a year ago with mine. Mama Kitty was a stray who had kittens on our front porch in '95. I think I was her human more than her my cat. She had a large tumor on her neck...

Snagged a NIP 24/40 casing off E(vil)bay for $19.99 shipped. Not the best price I have seen, definitely not the worst either...

Looking for glasses that are on my nose...yep done that too... Launch lugs are what my gnomes seem to like. Set one down, leave the room for a short time (bathroom, beverage, etc) come back and no...

Because, that's why, just because....
I'm right there with ya. I can set my keys down and 5min later can't find 'em. In my case it is stress and old age...

On a whim, I just checked the QModeling website. They have a picture of a new building, and a note that says they are now targeting the Holiday Season to be back up and running.

It has been a...

Like Handeman, I have to say I like em all, just some more than others. If I had to make a call, I would have to say the Estes Citation Starship Vega and the BSD Thor.... Both of those however have...

Um, Mr Boren is correct. There were different versions and the fin size differed greatly..... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MGR-1_Honest_John

Would a back ground check have prevented this tragedy? NO, NEVER! The younger of the two would have passed with flying colors, and it would have happened anyway.

Yes, it would have prevented the...

I couldn't think of a second decal set that I want/need right now...sux to be me sometimes :)

Wondered if I need to give up on hobbies in general. They distract me from the rest of my life.

I didn't really have a plan. I saw a 4" THOR on E(vil)bay and had to have it. After I bought it, I realized that I needed to be L1 to fly it, so it was a given that I would certify. The field where I...

As a side note, storage... Mine is stored in an out building.When I found evidence that the mice had taken a liking to it, I bought 3 5gal buckets with lids, and still had a bunch left over give...

Very nice! Might have to pay Sutherland's a visit...

He was my hero when I was a child. I tried to get the teacher to let me turn his "Deer Hunters" monolog into a short skit for the talent show (4th grade, I think), but I was told it was too adult. Oh...

Ooooooooh shiny!! I will definitely have to attempt this when I decide it is time to wrap tubes. Thanx for sharing!!!!!
