When you're packing up 100 kits in a single weekend, this is bound to happen. Meanwhile, Buddy is probably saying, "Where did I get this extra set of fins?"

Hello Mike, you were kit #98 I believe, and all the kits will be shipping in the exact order the order was placed by certificate number. I will be posting those tracking numbers here within a week or so. Thank you!
I will make sure to get those sent out to you right away, sorry about that! I think each kit has 15 pieces or so, so 3/793 pieces sent is a good average so far.

Forgive me if this has already been answered, but can I buy just a tail cone?
Exactly 100 nozzles were machined for this project as it’s limited. Although I could custom machine you a nozzle but it’d be about the same price if you would have bought the kit, around $200 with machine and setup time of these.
That is like buying a Lamborghini, but never telling anyone you bought one... that’s the reason why people buy them. Every rocket that you launch, do you hide them under a blanket until they’re off the pad? No. Rockets are meant to be seen and flown, everyone will know you bought one, this beautiful Rocket will attract everyone at your field. I’ve seen probably 15 people so far take a picture of theirs and post it already.

Hi, Buddy. I just downloaded the build instructions and the instructions for Step 11 (build AV bay) are repeated in step 12 (nose cone assembly). Needs to be updated. Thanks.
Try to redownload it, I thought I changed it last week. I know the correct version was included with every kit printed out in color.

Nope. I've attached the latest downloaded file for reference.

Buddy, I have a big problem with the spare Miss Riley nozzle you ordered. So embarrassed, I must have had a scaling error in the CNC program, and didn't realize it until I came in for dinner, and I don't recall the last 100 nozzles hiding my skim milk. I really understand if you can't use this, its just way too stinkin' big. I have already tried to contact the NHL, I think they might be able to use it for that Stanley Cup playoff thing they do, so no problem. I will remake your spare 3" nozzle next, sorry for the delay.
Sincerely,
Scott

SCP... That is a BEAST... Nice Job !!!
WOAHHHHH THAT THING IS BEAUTIFUL!!! So here we go folks... the next project is a 6” x 11.5ft tall or so Miss Riley!! The nozzle it’s self is 6.5” D by 12.5” long, SCP couldn’t have done any better on pulling this off in a couple weeks notice! The fins will be beveled and 32” tall. I’m waiting on all the parts and may possibly have the Rocket together by LDRS, if not fly it at Balls for sure and show the beauty off. Also this rocket will take a 98mm Motor, she’ll be hauling butt! Wait till you see the thrust plate and bulkheads Scott is machining for this project!
The instructions received In my kit has the same verbiage in step 11 and 12. No problem in any case, as I have assembled/constructed more than a few Performance Rocketry nose cones...
Thanks for letting me know! I must have forgot to hit save on the file. The most important thing I really wanted people to know was the measurements on the nozzle and how it all works.The instructions received In my kit has the same verbiage in step 11 and 12. No problem in any case, as I have assembled/constructed more than a few Performance Rocketry nose cones...

On a smaller note, I received notice this afternoon that my SMT Bay package has shipped. Looks like it will arrive on Monday!
Still waiting for #94 to arrive. If it’s held up due to the extras/eBay I ordered, that’s fine with me.
I can afford to wait. Kurt Savegnago

Hello Kurt! Just so everyone’s on the same page, all the kits will ship here next week along with the electronic bays. At that time all tracking numbers will be provided. Thanks you!
Nice. Thanks
