On an abandoned runway in France, Frenchman Francois Gissy set a world...

Before I moved last fall, we lived a half block away from a set of tracks. On a normal day there would be two Amtrak trains and 8-12 freight trains passing by.
A couple times a year, it was always...

Too bad it did not log how many times someone logged into forum, and not just how many posts, to get an idea as to how many are truly active.

I normally login once, maybe twice, a day, but don’t...

Thanks for the tips. I like the idea of adding a payload section. I may go ahead an order the parts so I have them on hand for my build and paint.

I’m planning on building a Loc Minnie Magg for my L1 attempt later this summer. I’ve had the kit for a couple years, still unopened, but that's a different story.

Anyways, would this be a good...

It's a breif story, but still a nice.

If you want a cheaper 29mm moter retainer, why not try the ones from Estes. You get two complete retainers in a package for less then $9.
I've had no problems with them and others here have wrote...

Sadly nothing… Was planning on starting on my Minnie Magg build for my L1 attempt that I’m hoping to go for soon. But with the nice weather, I spent the day planting some landscaping. Now I’m too...

Here is an easy site for finding the viewing location and time for the ISS. Just select your state and closest city, and it will give you the dates, times, duration, elevation, approch and departure...

Have you tried any local hobby stores or possibly a craft stores, such as Micheals?

Why is that? I normally use a wood glue, not white glue, and never noticed a problem.

Funny, I have never seen a 2 X 4 that was actually 2 inches X 4 inches... But I know what you mean regarding length.

I like the fact it is adjustable for different lengths. Should be easier to use than the simple stand I made from PVC. For my stand I can adjust the length, but need to have extra lengths of PVC cut...

Stopped into my local Michaels store to pick up a couple cheap brushes I needed for putting sanding sealer on some fins. Noticed they had their single 1” foam brushes, in the craft section, on sale:...

Just learned something new... Thanks.
I'll try that out this evening when I get home form work.

Apogee has two different models. They have a larger model that supports from 1.75" up to 6.125".

Thanks for the link. Found what I needed as a Rocksim file, which works for my older version of Rocksim.
Was hoping to find an OpenRocket file for a LOC Minie Magg, as I have mainly been using...

Are there sites where there is a library of OpenRocket or Rocksim files for currently available kits from various manufactures you can download? I’m looking for some files for some Estes and Loc...

If you are planning to launch them to loose… and since you plan to number them… are you also going to include some contact information on each rocket? That way if anyone finds them later, maybe they...

Never really gave it a lot of thought… Thanks for making me take a closer look at my total spending :gavel:
I’m guessing between $300-400 this year, with more going to MPR.
If I go for my L1, and...

...also includes some aviation items.
Some cool stuff if you have extra cash lying around. Several signed items too.

Post a picture when you get it built and some of the test results.

Never seen them at a Hobby Lobby in Michigan either.
I wonder if they can special order it if their other stores are stocking it? Need to check into it.

Sounds like you may have packed the cellulose insulation (dog barf) to tight. When I used that I still use a sheet or two of the Estes wadding first, with the dog barf on top. The number of sheets I...

I have limited experience with rail-buttons, so can’t really say what is better, Nylon or Delrin, 3 piece vs. 1 piece, but have a couple suggestions.

For a cleaner design, it would be nice, if on...

I've purchased 100' of their 1,000LB from this ebay seller (Emmakites). Good quality, very fast free shipping, plus the price was good.
However, I found comparing their prices directly to their...

That sounds about right... 2 of each.

Is a rainbow pack of extra washers going to be available too?

I would be up for that too... I'll send off an email to Randy as well.
