    Fleet pic

    Here is a good portion of my current fleet.
    With the exception of the Apgee Saturn 1B all were built in the last 6 months.

    I see you have an affinity toward iconic kits.

    I tend to take pictures before flight. They usually look better. And they're still around.

    Is that an Excalibur hiding in the corner? Let's have a look at that. Nice collection. Have you lost any yet?

    Six months? You're 'a building right along. I started in January of this year and have built sixteen kits with three still in the works. I guess that's about a rocket and a half a month. My production seems to improve when sailing ends as now I tend to have more time on the weekends. I should really be riding my bicycle more.

    Very nice, you might want to look into scratch building your own rockets!

    Yes that is an Excalibur.
    Here is a pic.
    I havent lost any of these yet, I haven't flown in years because Wichita Falls Texas is so rocket UNfriendly. When I renew my gun range membership after the first of the year then I should be able to fly. The range is huge and out in the middle of no where. I realy can't exlpain it but I just got a building bug and just kept going I usualy do 3 at a time. Right now i have a Space Eagle, a Taurus, and annother Vagabond in the works. I thought the Vagabond would look good in black and yellow thats the reason for the second one.

    Nice looking Excalibur. Cool paint job. I have the booster, but it's in primer. I hope to change that soon.

    Also have a Taurus in primer right now—that's a fairly daunting "fleet" paint scheme it has. Going around the fin/area is going to be a PITA. Damn good looking rocket, though.
