Hi All, I've been bugging Tim too much and don't want to keep pestering him, so posting here. He has been very good at responding to my many e-mails over the last few days, but I feel like I'm becoming a nuisance with my repeated follow-up questions. I just joined the Wildman club in order to...

There has been some really cool special edition Aerotech hardware released for previous events. Is it known if there will be special edition LDRS 42 hardware? I haven't noticed if that is a standard thing, or only once in a while. I'm in the market for 75mm hardware and am curious if I...

I've been wanting an Estes Stealth (kit #1929) since I was a kid. They just don't pop up that often. I also didn't really want a brand new in package kit since I want to build and fly it, and the new in package premium is pretty steep. I watched an auction for a built Estes Stealth along...

Ok, this one is a long shot. I have sold all my Missile Works GPS units. While I had them, I was worried about reports I'd seen of the GPS antenna getting damaged on a hard landing or other "shock" event. I purchased two replacement GPS modules from Mouser just in case I ever had to repair...

I have an RRC3, LCD w/ housing, and the LCD port for sale. All are in great condition. I went and checked out all the RRC3 functions (continuity on each output, output drive, pressure/temp/voltage display, push button function). Prices do NOT include shipping, but I expect this can all be...

Whenever I don't have much to fly at our monthly club launches, I like to drag my DSLR along with me and take pics. I've been using a Nikon D50 with the Nikkor 70-300 VR (non-DX) lens and having a lot of fun and getting pretty good shots. Yes, this camera is ancient and was one of the earlier...

I have the following altimeters for sale. Prices don't include shipping (USPS flat rate is $10). Some are new (as noted), a couple are used but in like new condition (very few flights). Payment via paypal F&F. I should be able to ship within a day of payment. All items sold. Tracking...

I just purchased an incomplete (knowingly) Madcow 2.6" Nike - Apache kit. The kit doesn't have any centering rings or fins. I figure it's easy enough to get centering rings and G10 stock to cut fins. I'm just not 100% sure how this all goes together and would love to see the original...

UPDATE: Check the most recent post at the bottom for new bundle deals!! I'm selling my MissileWorks RTx GPS system. I'll pay shipping (USPS flat rate priority mail). You pay via Paypal, either F&F at the listed price, or boosted by the fee % so I receive the listed price. 1. RTx GPS with...

I'm installing my new Eggfinder Quasar and Quantum in the 7.5" LOC av-bay on my Doorknob. I was paying attention to the two long threaded rods that secure the av-bay bulkheads together and located the Quasar centered between the two (as far as I could from them). The thing I overlooked was...

I'm very happy to report I had a successful ride-along of my just built Eggtimer Quantum. After some bad experiences with a different brand, I decided I'd explore the Eggfinder/Eggtimer family of products. I put a big order in and got a Quantum, Quasar, and the LCD system (with all the...

So I had my Super Mars Snooper all painted and pretty... it came out great. Final step was to clear coat it... Lets just say I'm done with Rusto 2x. I've ruined my last finish with this stuff. So now I need to start over with the finishing including replacing the decals. Did anyone do...

The Estes Stealth #1929 has been calling out to me for a while now. LOL. A full original kit is too rich for my blood, but I'm wondering if anyone has the plastic parts from a crashed/damaged/broken stealth kit that they'd be willing to sell. I think the rest of the rocket can easily be...

A member of our club donated these items. The hope is to see if anyone wants these for their collection. Any profit will be given 100% to our club, Michigan Team 1. I know that the only real value in any of this is for a collectible, not for actual usage. Due to the rules, I'm putting a...

Yes, this was the last thing I needed: another project. But I just couldn't stand seeing it get thrown away... Long story: our local high school robotics team used to occupy one of the old school buildings in our district. The building was no longer needed for students due to population...

I've decided that I need to spend some time on the low power models from my early years. My Mini Mars Lander is actually in pretty good shape but is missing all 4 landing feet. By my estimation from the on-line scans of the card stock parts, the feet are 3/8" diameter. Does anybody have any...

Wish me luck, this Thursday we have our annual rocket launch with my son's old Cub Scout Pack. My son is now a sophomore in college, and we picked up running this launch when he was a Tiger cub (1st grade). We've coordinated the launch ever since, aside from 2020 and 2021 (Covid years)...

We had a great launch day last Saturday at the Michigan Team-1 launch. Winds were very calm which really minimized the drift on recovery. I launched my recently extended LOC Doorknob on an Aerotech K535. I'm using an RRC3 and RRC2L for altimeters. Flight was great, but I managed to...

This weekend I had a successful flight of my LOC 7.5" Doorknob. In another thread I showed how I extended the airframe to a more scale appropriate length and added a true av-bay for dual deploy. I ran redundant altimeters, a Missile Works RRC3 and RRC2L. On recovery of the rocket, I found...

I was craving some deeper insight into our hobby and heard about Mark Canepa's book: Large and Dangerous Rocket Ships from a few other club members. I decided to buy it, and WOW, I have to say I was not disappointed. I'll admit that I am not much of a reader. I read maybe a book a year. This...
