Actually I was thinking you're the *entire* cause of that, but I was too polite to call you out by name. :marshmallow:I'm part cause of that
Seriously though, hope you get well, nothing more important than that.

You guys can re-scale that sucker to LPR all you want if you wanna scratch it. :wink:
I dunno, might be kind fun to be famous.Actually I was thinking you're the *entire* cause of that,
Thanks! It is the kind of stuff which seems to have inherited tendencies, and a trajectory;Seriously though, hope you get well, nothing more important than that.

modeltrains,
We have been missing you on The Rocketry Forum for some time now.
If you get a some time drop in and let us know what youve been building and launching.
This dood keeps getting weirder and weirder....
Man, seriously.... There are programs to help you get your meds... if you need assistance finding some, I'm sure we can find you contacts....
Maybe it's just me, but it seems like there's not a lot of build activity going on in the LPR and Scratch built forums lately. There's usually a bunch of Estes kit builds going on, at minimum, particularly of the new ones. I don't think I've seen a single build of the new Red Nova, which looks like a nice kit. Can't remember the last Fliskits build I saw, other than the occasional ACME Spitfire.
The HPR forum still seems pretty lively, but for those who prefer to build smaller it's been fairly slim pickin's lately. I hope it's not indicative of a downtrend in the hobby.
Etc. etc., blah blah, grump grump, get off of my lawn.

Well should I get the kids next door some Estes kits and watch their moms absolute sh*tface panic when they light off a D or E motor next to $700,000 houses with no firehydrants? I gave a kid a bb gun once as a friend... His parents absolute hated me ever since. These neighbor young kids barely got into fireworks this year. These people on Signal Mountain, TN are like way liberal weirdos who shelter their kids a lot... Now atleast they put TRUMP signs out and wave a flag every now and then. Sheesh... It's like no one's taught them to go outside and have fun or something odd. And they play angry birds on a phone for hours upon hours or something.
When I was a young kid I remember flying a few C motors in about three or four Estes kits. Those old highschool soccer or baseball fields worked great as launch sites. Some things never change going to HPR as landing in trees is still same feeling as in LPR. Some places you can't even go to a park and do LPR due to everyone wanting to sue everything... You know those cheap $20 kits you buy, epoxy or slip fins onto, and screw a retainer in after tie a chute. Never even posted anything about 16 years ago or knew TRF existed. Never knew afterwards, I'd design a multistage rocket a college for HPR SEDS competition event then place third nationally. Walmart still sells those Estes kits. And I don't think the users post.
The sad thing is in certain cities without a TRA/NAR launchsite the hobby stores just gut their rocketry inventory down to very few LPR kits. The hobbytown USA in Chattanooga had gutted all of its MPR gear in spring, when I inquired about ignitors and possibly a casing to use for a SEDS HPR project. Apogee, Wildman, Madcow, and TRF had more info than anywhere else seriously. At the actual TRA/NAR launch sites, LPR isn't dead by any means. But maybe the OP is right about public awareness is lower.
For what it is worth, I'm in as deep as I am partly as a result of those prolific Captain low and slow build threads. You never know when you are gonna set the hook in a noob.
I like build threads!
And apparently TRF doesn't want me to forget about that. I just got bombed with 13 identical emails of your post.
There's not as much interest in build threads as there used to be. A lot of the guys who used to frequent the forum are gone. I still post build threads in Scratch Built, but don't get a lot of responses. I'm working on two builds right now, but don't know if I'll post them here or not. Doesn't seem like it's worth the effort anymore.
I like build threads!
Although I must admit I usually only chime in when I have a question about something that piques my curiosity.
Glad I'm not the only one who does that.One thing I look at for my (few) build threads are the viewed count. While there may not be a lot of comments when I see the viewed count keep rising I assume there is some interest
