While it saddens me that the company had to change hands I do look forward to being able to get the kits I wanted when Semroc closed.

I'm in favor of 6 and 9. We're receiving the signals, we just don't recognize them for what they are.

Two-stage Dark Star?

My Big Daddy still hasn't flown - yet. Given what I've been reading in this thread I think I'll do some surgery on the nose cone and cut off the tapered shoulder. Should have enough ply left over from my RC builds to make a nice bulkhead. Just need to get an eye bolt to attach the shock cord to...

No experience, but have several on my wish list.

I very seldom go to the movie theater because the seats don't usually agree with my back. There are occasions when I tell my back to shut the heck up and go anyway. The Lord of the Rings movies for example. This will most assuredly be another one of those occasions. A film like this must be...

Wow, what an awesome gesture! Thanks, Tim! Oh, and IN!!

How about something for those of us who are budget-challenged? Maybe something in the Mini or Jr line?

There are three rifles I passed by that I've always regretted. The first was a near-pristine 1903A3 that I passed on because I was saving the money for something else. The second was a Kar.98k that was in about 65% on the wood, 60% on the metal but had a spotless bore. I was looking for one that...

I'm hoping I'll be able to order some stuff on Saturday. Mega Mosquito, Photon Probe, maybe an Argent and a couple of others. What I need worse than anything is motors!

Finally bought some JB Weld and installed the motor retainer on my Super Flash.

While out doing errands I stopped by Auto Zone and picked up some JB Weld. The motor retainer is now installed! As far as construction goes this rocket is now finished!

Thanks, Kit! I used Frog Tape (yellow, for delicate surfaces) to mask the paint job. Not one single bleed-under to be found! Super happy with the way it worked.

Another tiny bit of progress. I've been dithering over the rail buttons that came with the kit. They're the 3 piece style and I've been wanting to get 1 piece instead. Finally just broke down and installed the ones it came with. No sense spending money I don't have too when I have something...

Here are photos of the holes in question with a 3"x5" index card for comparison.

Well, it was actually yesterday, but... I finished painting my K&S Super Flash!

K&S Super Flash. 54mm body, 38mm motor mount, 47.375" tall. Set up for dual- or single-deployment. Will be my L1 cert rocket. Paint is Krylon True Blue and Sun Yellow. Shares something in common with my Carl Goldberg Tiger 60 - totally unintentional! True Blue and Bright Yellow...

Well, at long last the Super Flash is finally painted! Got the last bits done today! K&S Super Flash - all painted up! Fin detail Nose detail There is a slight difference in the shade of the blue where it was sprayed over the yellow on the fin section and the white primer of the rest...

Finished up the yellow yesterday. Started putting on the three blue wedges. Comes out a bit darker on the yellow but eh, it is what it is. Decided in the interest of simplicity to just go with blue on the nose cone - that, and I'm really tired of dealing with yellow. There are still some thin...

The primary one I want to repair is an x-form 42" chute. I'd thought about contacting someone but money is really tight. I have ripstop on hand and my wife has a really nice sewing machine so I'll probably be giving it a try to see if I can do it myself.
