Aluminum? Looks good.

Hymmmmmm.... Playin' with Fire 2.0?

Got Motors, Basswood Sheets, Vinyl Sheets in different Colors, BSI 20 Minute Finish Cure Epoxy, three types of CA, 3 Cans of Primer, 2 Cans of Clear Coat, and a Few Cans of Colors, Some Little Detail Bits, a Thimble for when I'm Sewing stuff by Hand, Needles, 3 Eye Bolts with Washers.
Oh, and a Box of 100 Nitrile Gloves.
And a new Multi-Meter, but that's mostly for doing stuff to my Truck even though I can do Rocket Stuff with it.
Pretty good Haul for one Day, but I have not had any Sleep for awhile so I'll have to wait to play with all my goodies til' I can get rested up.

Oh, and got Crepe Paper Streamer to use as Recovery Wadding. $1 for an 81' x 2" Roll.

Bought some quick links and met my local hobby store owner for the first time. He's willing to order anything I need even though I'm only one of a very few people in town that are into rockets... This could be bad news.

Packed for freedom launch.

I machined way too much aluminum today.

That's awesome. PWF 2.0 is going to be amazing!

Built myself a nice cart at Rocketry Warehouse but didn't hit the checkout button. I'm afraid she's going to kill me if i do so.

Not enough actually. Could use more, lol.

Ordered more than I need from the Estes sale, but still contemplating the Madcow sale. Just glad there are no other sales going on....

Flew Red tailed Extreme on an M1297 to 13,124 ft for my L-3 cert flight. More info. later when I can use a real keyboard.

Bought an Estes Mega Mosquito, and Leviathan with their labor day sale. Probably gonna put a 38mm motor mount in the Leviathan. Might try doing something to the mega mosquito too but i'll have to see the kit in person to see what I can change.

Congrats and looking forward to the flight report as well as how the new camper performed for you.

I ordered a motor tube, some centering rings and an Aeropack for my Squat. I am going to convert it to 38mm.

Went back to Coins & Hobbies and got the Estes Canadian Arrow Kit that I was eyeballin' yesterday. It looks like fun, and I can do it up like a V2.

I took advantage of the Madcow Rocketry 15% off Labor Day Sale and bought a 4" removable altimeter bay for my Madcow Frenzy kit.

Everything in the store is on sale so it's an opportunity to pick up a lotta cool rocketry gear for 15% off.

Madcow Rocketry

I won this at the Job BBQ today, I will certainly find a usage for it in my rockets ship

Got a package from Rocketchutes.
Eyeballed both Estes and Madcow sales. Jury is still out on what I'll buy.(if anything).
Went to WWorld and bought a huge clear plastic tub to put all the kits in that I allready have and put it in the shed .Trying to clean the rocket room up. The room has way to much stuff in it.
I get all mad and angry when I cant find what I'm looking for. Crap everywhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Told the wife I need to pack all the kits up and put them away and concentrate on getting the ones I have allready started done. Between scratchers and kits,I maybe have 8 rocket in the making. I dont need to start anymore.

Took a break from my build today to shape some fins for my wife's Madcow Torrent. Used my router to do the job. Worked nice, and made an easy job of it.

Congrats!!!

Stole and chopped the Nose Cone from the V2 Kit to make the Custom Nose Cone for my Martel.

Made some motor components for my upcoming series of motor tests.

I went through, took stock and organized my rocket stuff. I thinned out what I don't need or won't use. I am getting my mind ready for the winters builds.
