    It seems you missed the debrief today! It also seems that-- the powers that be --, allowed you to stay in your developement hanger. You missed the coffee and farknars. The guys are all curious about your choice of color and what you call it. The farknars go better with wine---warning---don't dip them---trust me !!

    You ate "fark-N-ars"??? To each their own. As long as it wasnt "Farkas"
    And have it known , the fact that we missed the debriefing,there has been no confirmation that we have the clearance to pawover the info you requested.

    I like it!
    The tube fins are great, but I really like the profile and the "rudder" fin shape.

    Can you imagine what it would be like if the cordless drill makers extreminated themselfs,
    Holly Molly,how could man go forth without Cordless Tools!!!
    Nothing would ever get built.
    Jars,Cans,coffee cups full of screws ,nuts,fasteneers of all kinds would pile up and we would all go SCREWIEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
    So, maybe the DogScratchers warship can join forces with the "B" ship being built in another thread,to save all kind.

    Anywhoo- Glued it up ,did some filling and shot it with primer pigment.
    The black "Engines" arent glue in the rings yet.
    I made a cockpit out of half a BNC.Not sure just where to postion it yet. I have it stuck on with a dab just for the pics.
    Ill do some more touching up and figure out how Im gonna lay the paint pigment to it.
    OH-YA ,I got to looking at it and decided it would be cool if it had a "LAUNCH LUG".
    WOW! I guess I am an influence on you! hehe!
    Looks familiar!
    That looks awesome! Can I have one?

    Keep up the... er, unique work!

    I see that your a new member,so,Ill answer your "Q" again without the BS. ha ha ha
    If your wondering,I..
    ....dont use any kind of Rocket Simulator programs.
    ....get an idea and knowing the basic workings of a rocket, I give it a go.
    ....swing test all my rockets before launching them.
    ....usually launch them first time in a WIDE open area with next to no one around.
    Thats about it.
    Nothing special, I guess my thing is..I really enjoy getting my paws on pieces n parts and turning an idea or in most case,ideas, into a flying machine.

    Ah, YES. This is how to succeed! I love crazy designs just because nobody has tried it out before!
