Unbuilt rockets?

I'm just curious ???

How many un-built rockets you guys have still in the package?

Of those many in the process of being completed?

Scratch builds of the larger variety count?

If so:

3" Estes Super Neon XL

2.56" Cherokee D

5.5" Der Red Max

LOC Viper III w/29mm motor tubes (in process) https://www.rocketryforum.com/showthread.php?44102-Viper-III-Plus

54mm Min Diameter (in progress) https://www.rocketryforum.com/showthread.php?44396-Black-Lightning-54mm-Min-Diameter-Build

And whatever appears magically AFTER the Wildman Black Friday Sale :wink:

0. Nada. Zip. None.

And I have no builds in progress... I'm going into withdrawal.

I'm going to order 2 kits from wild man on Saturday.
And I'm waiting for the release of Proline Rocketry V2 for my next "Big" project. That's due to come out in January.

In the package (actually mostly big boxes), 53. In some build stage, 2.

I have 3 in the package and 2 in the process of being built.

Lessee...

Untouched:
LOC October Skies 2010 Commemorative
Wildman Jart
Madcow Squat
Estes Mega Mosquito
Estes Big Daddy (29mm)
Estes Executioner (29mm)
Estes Tercel boost glider
and a Rubbermaid bin full of random Estes LPR

In progress:
Estes Ventris
Estes Leviathan
Madcow Mozzie
LOC Onyx
Semroc Magnum
Semroc Lil Ivan

Scratchbuilds in progress:
L2 bird (4" tube fin, 54mm MMT)
Teabird 4.0 (4" tube fin, 28mm MMT)
Toys 'r' Us Crayon rocket

Completed? Don't ask. Thinking about giving about 25 of them away at the next kiddie launch to make room on my workbench/storage area.

Hmm...

Since you caught me after a recent purchase...

3 in packages (one opened to verify contents)
1 additional in progress.

Normally I try to stick to one or two at a time, but I'm a sucker for sales.

Another twist to this how many do you have built that you have never flew?

I only have 1 unflown. My BH-29. Just completed and ready for flight 12/1.

I don't buy until I'm almost ready to build,... and I love to see rockets fly,... so I always want to fly my latest project next.

So my score... 0:1. On 12/1,... assuming my wildman shipment hasn't arrived... it'll be 0:0.

That's a much easier question - two. Hopefully that will change Thursday.

I have none in the package, but one in progress and one in parts (both scratch built).

I have 1 BG in the box, 1 RC BG partially built, 1 scratch cluster rocket un-finished and parts all over the place.

well, if they are still in the package, then none :wink:

hmm

unbuilt kits - reason
Semroc Saturn 1B - I dont want to spoil this classic by actually building it
Squirrel Works Liberator - not the right time yet
Estes Bullpup - saving for a friends son, if he shows interest
Art Applewhites Cluster Saucer - Coming soon to a building table near you

unbuilt "kits"
loads o tubes, all shapes and sizes, not enough nose cones, etc etc etc I love to scratch!

There's around 700 or so still in the packages.

Thank God my wife never checks this site!

Oh, I guess I'm an amateur... I probably have about two dozen still in the box/bag... probably about that same number built/flown.

Later! OL JR

My downfall was when I got back into the hobby. There was so much more around than when I was a kid and then I started finding all of the stuff I wanted as a kid but could not afford on ebay. I lost my mind, such as it was, for a while.

More than fifty but probably less than 100. Many are for the scout troop... at least that's what I tell my wife...

At the moment I have a Saturn V which just came in today. I was impressed by the size of the box !

Two big storage boxes full, probably about 30 kits. Nearly all were bought on sale or as some other "couldn't pass up" opportunity. Everyone of them will get built eventually.

Three unbuilt kits, about five builds in progress, and at least a dozen planned scratch builds, most of which I already have parts for.

10 in various stages of paint/sand/decal process. 35 in original packaging.

In Finishing Process
Blackhawk R&D Black Brant X, Cosmodrome Nike Apache, Aerotech IQSY Tomahawk, Semroc Aerobee 300, Semroc SLS Arcas, DFR Tech Delta IV Heavy 24mm, Estes D-Region Tomahawk, Aerotech HV Arcas, Rocketarium Sandia Sandhawk, A.S.P. Super Loki-Dart

I've probably overlooked a couple...and I'm sure that I'm going to be adding to the list before the weekend is over! I'm always looking for interesting scale kits...

Cheers,
Michael

Roughly 90-100. Don't ask me to list them all or I'll be at it all night.

Zero and zero. Dang it.

Dang it, I didn't count the big box o Doodads I got for the Girl Scout troop and the 24 BT-50 tube fin kits I put together for the same; but, they aren't mine...... well, maybe one or two.

edit - I also have 8 RalphCo crayon banks sat here in the garage, do I have to count those too?
