    What did you do rocket wise today?

    I'm back to building the Starlight Sparrow, aka "Fake Zoomie" after remembering that I had the thingie. At least it's not "Corrigancolor"....

    What did you do rocket wise today?

    I'm did a repair on the big 3D printer too early in the morning and without enough coffee. I'm did a fresh slice and now trying to print an E9 sized saucer yet again. I started making that Starlight Sparrow. I've nicknamed it Fake Zoomie. Because reasons....

    What did you do rocket wise today?

    I had my 50th anniversary in the hobby launch. Not exactly to the day but within a week. Covid and the weather weren't exactly cooperating either. I flew an AstroCam to show how far things have come in 50 years. The E2X booster wasn't far removed from my original Alpha III, but that sort of...

    What did you do rocket wise today?

    To celebrate the 50th anniversary of my first launch (give or take a day or three) I started building a next season project that was laser cut last summer. It's named the Timid Tortie after my stereotype defying cat, and it's like a 80% size version of my Caliby RCBGs. I also sketched a 33-1/3...

    my 50th anniversary in model rocketry!

    I said thank you in the other thread but I'mm say it again to be a decent person. BTW, that Alpha II was painted an Allis color, but it was aluminum instead of orange.

    Model Rocketeer

    Thanks for the help here! I've tidied up my project. As somebody who caught the tail-end of head-cut pasteup, I like the economy of spot-color on those old covers.

    Model Rocketeer

    Does anybody have any color scans of Model Rocketeer, the NAR magazine, from the middle '70s. I could use one for a project that I'm working on. Thanks!

    2023 Happy Thanksgiving Thread

    That covid didn't do me in at all of 62-51/52 years old. Also that cleaning up, clearing out, and selling off Mom's acreage is over. Now on to next year....

    Talk about "go"! This "bird" has "it"!

    I'm trying to track down a blurb in an old Centuri catalog that had the hokey hyperbole that went something like 'Talk about "go"! This "bird" was "it"! It's possibly the most exciting model rocket that you will ever own!' IIRC, it ironically was just a 3FNC type kit. The blurb has been elusive...

    Laser / CNC Help needed with Full Spectrum Muse

    The 45watt Full Spectrum Muse at the Omaha Maker Group worked almost like it's supposed to cutting up to 3/16 or 1/4 balsa in a single pass. Then somebody unknown fiddled with it. Then it wants to set that expensive wood on fire unless I turned the power down to 25% and make a pass for each 1/64...

    What did you do rocket wise today?

    I ordered a snot load of motors online. Although, I'm wondering how much cheaper it is than local retail once shipping and handling are added in.

    S8D for noobs?

    A friend is asking me about S8D out of the blue. I mainly know that it exists. Where does anyone begin?
