I have your prize sitting in my office. It was delayed due to no having the right size box to ship it in, and then life took over and it kinda got forgotten about! Thanks for the reminder :p
 
Yep.
I'm in. I'll work on my list and get it sent in.
This is always fun.

List Added: Yeah...there is quite a bit of stuff but also a wide price range.
Most can be had for around 30 bucks or cheaper.

Perfectflight MiniTimer or MicroTimer2
Additive Aerospace 808 #16 camera shroud &#8211; 2.6&#8221;
Mobius actioncam kit from LiquidFyre rocketry &#8211; 4&#8221;
Rocket Junkie aluminum charge wells, four would be great.

Loki 38/120 case
Aerotech 29/120 case
Aerotech 38/120 case

Pieces for a scratch build coming up
Mix and Match so long as they are all from same place
LOC, Binder or Madcow components
Length of 3&#8221; BT
Length of 54mm BT (2 if from Madcow)
3&#8221; Nose Cone
3&#8221; coupler
54mm coupler
2.63&#8221; coupler stiffener

A 24" piece of tubing from MAC Performance, 3" or 4". Maybe someone has some lying around.

36&#8221; or 40&#8221; X type parachute

I would love LOVE to have a plugged forward closure for 38mm Loki that worked for commercial loads so I wouldn&#8217;t have to build the infernal delay. This would likely have to be a custom job so if a machinist gets my name, YAY

Likewise for the Aerotech 38mm. Doubly so in fact, their delays are even worse to fiddle with. I use electronic ejection anyway.

Eggtimer Quantum
Eggtimer WiFi Switch

I don't really need anymore kits but I would greedily accept a Madcow 2.6&#8221; fiberglass Goblin

All else fails:
Gift certificate to Chris&#8217; Rocket Supplies, LOC, Madcow, PML, Wildman, Performance Hobbies or Mac Performance - but I really like opening things. :)

Any HP scale missile. (A 4" Madcow scale kit would be ridiculously appreciated :) )

Loc Norad Pro Max or Expediter

Aerotech Mirage or G-Force

Binder Design Jackhammer

I'll be happy with anything. The above are just high hopes.
 
I wish for:
Kits, fantasy / sci fi types (skill level 3 or higher)
Scratch building parts
Motor hardware
A paint gun (Detail or touch-up type)

I also asked for a shirt or two. Cool "nerdy / aerospace" type shirts. How cool would it be to show up at a launch with a General Dynamics or Lockheed Martin polo!
 
I may have a general dynamics cap. I may be able to score you one of the polos or Ts as well.
 
Beat me to it.

But maybe he is talking about something else. :confused:

I doubt he was talking about something else. Just being annoying. Apparently he didn't read the directions.
I'm sitting out this CIJ, but I hope everyone gets some cool stuff!
 
Hmm, I have some chutes I could give, or maybe a Estes Goblin.
I'll have to think about entering. :)
Thanks,
 
I never got in on a Christmas in July!
And I couldn't get in on the last Christmas with nothing to offer, or any money.
Some really nice TRF'r just ordered some knifes, so I guess I'll go for it.
My wish list will be made up sometime soon and sent onto PaPa Elf.
I trust MaMa elf is treating you well! And vise-versa!

Thanks for that! Doh!
