When in doubt... build hell-for-stout!
It was recommended to me in my introduction thread to read through the Apogee Peak of Flight newsletters for tips and tricks regarding rocket construction. I've done a lot of reading...
Kicker is some of these newsletters are 18 years old. For instance the "Ultimate Rocketry Glue Guide" was written in 2007
I need to buy supplies and before I do so I wanted to see what you guys are using.
The rocket I'm scratch building is balsa cone and fins with cardboard body tubes.. nothing exotic.
Here's my shopping list... what would you do different?
Thoughts?

Here's my shopping list... what would you do different?
- For filling the balsa woodgrain use: Carpenter's Wood Filler (Elmer's brand)
- For gluing the fins, launch lug, and external tube fins use: Titebond II
- For fin fillets use: Titebond Molding and Trim Glue
- For reinforcing ends of body tubes: Gorilla Super Glue
Thoughts?
