My Secret Santa sent two altimeter sleds that are made by Landru13 and sold on Etsy.com These are the orange 3D printed components... Thank you very much, these will be put to good use!
 
So are we supposed to be guessing our SS? IIRC that's what the norm is but this is only my second time...

It was difficult figuring out the whole international shipping thing. Luckily, an email sent to the Sunward store led to a very helpful conversation. I'm glad you like them. :)

Otherwise, I'm here in Maine until January 2nd so I won't be home to check for anything.

Thanks again! Angelo at Sunward is great for customer service. Thank you for going to the trouble of sending to me--I really do look forward to SS each year.
 
Looks like I'll be the last to open my SS gift. I just found out that I have a box from Performance Hobbies waiting for me at home. Thank you in advance to whomever for whatever it is. :)

A package from Apogee arrived on my doorstep today. It goes "clink" when I tip it... Now what did I ask for that goes "clink"? (edit: I have a guess, but would it be sporting to post it?)

Judging from Papa Elf's list above, I can start to narrow down who my Secret Santa is...

Blackbrandt
codysmith**
Conman13
CzTeacherMan*
djkingsley
DRAGON64
HeavyLight (probably not, as my full name is on the box)
Madison Alum
Moon Knight*
RAHagen**
Salvage-1
Scott Evil*
Stan
Woody's Workshop

Who can it be now? Judging by the time of people's posts, and when the package arrived, I'd say likely candidates are marked with an asterisk. USPS tracking number indicates it departed the vendor on 12/1... Of course, if the sender didn't post that they'd sent it here, then it could be someone else...

hmmm.....

Well, I opened the package today (it was left at home while we traveled for Christmas) and discovered a Aeropack 54/38mm adapter assembly, as well as a Christmas Ornament! Very Cool SS!

The invoice also confirmed who my SS was, and whom I'm happy to announce was one of the initial suspects denoted with the double-asterisk. Thank you Robert Hagen!

Now, to see if my recipient can guess who I am...

We lost the Web for a few days. Sorry for late posting. Things got mixed up here, so if I don't remember correctly, please correct me.

From my SS: The Launch Pad K050 Dragonfly Kit, Estes Liviathan Pro II :cool: , & Plasma Probe, and a Cool set of Sirius Rocketry Decals.
Guessing Conman13. Only clues are poor ones, shipped about the right time, and I only listed the Liviathan on the thread wish list. Conman13 replied, "Is That All?" I said the were poor clues. :confused2:

As for the "Small" PaPa Elf Surprice Gift; It WAS NOT a 6" piece of vinyl surverors strip in Pink for a streamer!!! :facepalm:

Instead it was a much larger box containing Estes Products: Black Star Voyager, Asteroid Hunter, Astron Strint XL, Cobra, Orange Crunch and Top Shot Rocket kits. Also included was an Estes E Controller (Badly needed) and Altimeter (Also Badly Needed) :jaw:

So Thank You Kindly SS, Whom ever you might be for your generosity!!! :handshake:

And a Special Thank You to PaPa Elf for the Surprise Gifts. :surprised:

Other than the head phones I received from my son, TRF family made it a much Happier Xmas than expected. :headbang:

A hint for my victum: Wish list included a OOP item, you got it. Again, Thanks to PaPa Elf. :wink:

Yes you got me. I had Gloria bring the the Purple Parrot to the MDRA December launch, it's one of the first production run kits. The post office did not like the original return address (Secret Santa, North Pole, Artic Ice Mass). I had to strip the wrapping off and use my office address.

Have fun building and flying your Parrot.
