My list:

Bits and Bobs:
1/4" tubular kevlar, just the cord, nothing fancy
2.1" (54mm) PML Quantum tube, at least 18" to repair Callisto, along with a phenolic coupler.
30" "ThinMil" type chute, would like to try Rocketman's new hexagonals, Lime green preferred, Yellow or Black works too, really I'm not too picky
A 38mm sled that holds a Quark and 400 MaH 2 cell LiPo
54mm RRC2+ modular sled, 9volt
PML HAMR 38
Aeropack 38L
38mm Slimline
Shock cord protectors always handy

One thing I am looking for now is some sort of modular sled or bay for a Quantum that can easily be moved from rocket to rocket. Same goes for a 54mm RRC2+ or Quark. As short as possible. Just haven't had time lately to design anything.

Mac Performance:
Loki 38mm nozzle holder or two
3" - 54mm nose cone bay kit
54mm - 38mm nose cone bay kit
Pluto SLAM (Why not!?)

Motor stuffs:
CTI Pro24 3G motor
CTI Pro29 3G motor - the starter set would be great!
Loki 38/480 case or complete motor
AT 29/100 case or motor
AT 38mm plugged bulkhead
Loki 38mm plugged bulkhead
Aerotech motors:
G76G, H165R, H128W
Loki Motors:
H144, G94, G66
Quest Q-Jet D16-4
Estes B4-2

Eggtimer:
Quantum, Quark, Eggfinder Mini, Proton

I am good on kits but I can toss some in the mix, short fat and draggy so I can fly them in my yard with my daughter
Madcow 4" Squat, this will complete my Madcow 4" short fatty collection
Squirrel works Acorn, Ajax
LOC Precision, any size Magg, Park Flyer EZE, park fly Hawk, Lil Nuke, Aura
1.6” fiberglass Cowabunga
