Exactly this. Don't want more rocket stuffs, nowheres to put them. Though I did make Eggtimer happy already, but those boards will go into existing rockets.

I need nothing at all. But I am sure there will be something I will want. Must get my Black Friday fix.
Most years it's really hard to find ANY water at Blackrock so not an issue for me

When was the last time Wildman unveiled a new kit on Black Saturday? Maybe the Punisher? I think it was the Demon 98... Yeah. Pretty sure he's going to do something wild this year. Bringing me to the ever-present question... Do I really need another rocket? I've got one in just about every size and shape. 29s 38s 54s... Do I really need another one?
That’s a silly question, everyone needs another rocket! (to anyone wanting to know what to get me for Christmas
)

Nah, nevermind. Someone local has lots of rocket motors and kits for sale, like 30-40% off list price. I'll be spending most my money there.
I'm also saving my money for the eRockets sale as well, which will be AWESOME!
So, as much as I hate to do this, I probably won't get much from Wildman, but we shall see..
Thanks,

Maybe Wildman will give us a hint on a new kit if there is one.

Unfortunately, I've gotten fairly picky with my selections.
I'm bored with 3FNC rockets
Too fat fingered for Micromax (not to mention flying them is less than inspiring)
Never could get gliders to fly right
So I need new sci-fi, fantasy, Odd-roc kits. Where are the new models like Fliskit, Shrox, Pemberton, and many others when you need them??? Oh yeah - they don't produce new kits anymore...

I heard a hint... new kit(s)...
Went out to Wildman's today to do some rocket work with him. While working on my project, we discussed one of the new kits.
I'm sure everyone will like it. I know I want one...
Then I helped him take pictures of a lot of parts to put on his website. Everyone has to see it before they buy it, so he was taking pics and I was shuffling parts in and out of his "photo studio"

Wednesday or Saturday. He didn't say which day it would start selling... I'm not "that" in the know... He was just asking my opinion on the construction/configuration since I was handy...
Hoping on a "member's only" Wednesday run. That'd make the membership all that more exclusive.

Yep - whatever you do, don't get started with Arturia. It's like Sequential Circuits, MOOG and PAIA all rolled into one. Another addiction.

Going to get some pro series II parts from Estes while they’re running the no shipping promo, then see if I can hustle up some deals on thin mil parachutes for my Mach 1 kits

Confirmed Estes free shipping for orders more than 25 is in effect, if you need a small filler item to push you over 25 bucks the Christmas ornaments are 2.99
We bought a couple of kayaks, but that's probably not what you meant.

Confirmed Moog Mother 32 and DFAM coming today...
Maybe I'll pick up some small cheap tools at The Homeless Despot.

Do any online suppliers out there have any sales? Have checked the usual suspects but nothing. I'm in Canada so looking for mostly hardware, maybe kits. No reloads since cant be shipped

It's not a question of NEEDING another rocket...
But to keep you building skills at peek performance, you NEED to build another one!
It may be years before some I have built will see flight...
But I keep building just the same.
Improving upon techniques, try something new, etc.
What I really NEED...
The Mail Lady to bring a letter from SSDI stating... APPROVED!!!
After that, everything falls into place and needs and wants both are no longer a problem.

How do you improve technique if you don’t fly it to test the improved technique?
