There are more ready to fly I just have to complete the inventory. But this is most of them.

The only problem I see from the above is: "0 N-s flown this year".

I'll add the following as a problem

I decided to do an inventory...

Why on earth would you do such a thing?! That's time spent that could've spent building rockets, flying rockets, or acquiring more kits.

You are correct.

As you are well aware of we did not have a winter this year,
winds have been high, and mud is prevalent. But the range
box is ready, and engine stocks are high.

Why on earth would you do such a thing?! That's time spent
that could've spent building rockets, flying rockets, or acquiring
more kits.

-Kevin

I was killing time while paint was drying on the AMRAAM 3 and
the V-2; glue was drying on the B-17G and the Saturn IB; my
son was waiting on the paint to dry on his B-29; it was dark
outside with high winds and the hobby stores were closed and
I had already seen the rerun of The Big Bang Theory...

The list includes the models that both of my sons are working on too.

Just make sure your wife never, ever sees that list.

What is the B-17G gonna fly on??? Estes or Aerotech?

The one I am working on will fly on four Wright Cyclone R-1820.

I don't go out of my way to show it to her. However there is an equation
that I have to keep in mind.

Rockets + Planes + Guns (- the kid's ones) <= Animals (Current population: 2 steers, 3 horses, 80ish chickens, 9 ducks, 2 dogs, 5 cats)

Right now I have have some cushion.

What is the B-17G gonna fly on??? Estes or Aerotech?

The B-17 will be a wall hanger. I am thinking of installing electric motors in
the P-38 (Guillow's model) and full R/C when I get to it. Likely not for a few
years with some pending major house projects.

Wha chu talking about Willis?!?

Seriously? Way cool.

Here is a link to the museum website. Several of us just finished making the pilot's seats and three of the seats inside the fuselage. That took two years working a few hours most Thursday nights. One of the seats we made is going to be installed in the Memphis Belle. We sometimes trade parts with the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force which is about 40 miles away.

Last Thursday we started on some ribs for the elevators. I think we have a dozen to make; all different sizes of course.

Well HERE's the problem...

Rocket Big Nuke w/avionics bay PK-82 LOC Precision 1-Unbuilt
Rocket Vulcanite PK-52 LOC Precision 1-Unbuilt

Big rockets....take up space...expensive to fly...

Vanquish them to some poor soul that hasn't REALIZED that they need a 12 step program yet...

REALLY, I'M FINE

Ummm, nice try... I will give you and A for effort.

The Big Nuke is going to be my L3, which is a little more than optimistic
since I have yet to get L1...

[jpummil]

Haha! Just messin' with ya Ron

Your TRF audience will anxiously await build threads of both

[cwbullet]

I think there more than 12 steps to building a rocket.

[rbelknap]

I think there more than 12 steps to building a rocket.

I'm just waiting to see how all those kits get built in 12-steps...
