Does any one have or know of a supplyer of 10" fiberglass tubes and couplers? THX, Steve

I bought this kit on line a while back, advertised as "new in box'. Foolishly, I took this to mean all the parts were there. My first clue came when I opened the shipping box and saw that the seller had practically folded the original box in half to get it to fit inside. Then when I took out the...

I finally picked up one of these kits from ebay at what I thought was a reasonable price (considering my local hobby shops don't carry this one anymore). This is the 30th Anniversary edition, #2157. I've done a few searches here and elsewhere on the web, and I've come to the conclusion that if I...

I've noticed at least a couple different versions frequently up for auction on eBay, and I just don't want to lay out that much cash for one rocket just to find out I might have been more satisfied with the other version. I don't know about the differences between the older kits and the...

My taste in model rockets in the last few years is leaning way over to the out-of-production, or ‘vintage’ or ‘classic’ low-powered variety. I have been picking up most of them from eBay, and gotten a few from fellow TRFers. I know about Rocketry Online auctions, and I’ve looked at Yahoo auction...

I did a quick search, but couldn't find where anybody had posted the exact size of the foil decals/wraps for the Andromeda. I have some Bare Metal foil I picked up just for this project, and I have an un-opened kit - I'm just not able to get a good enough look at them to get a measurement...

I know a few of y'all picked one up (me too - just waiting for the mailman to bring it)... but haven't seen any posts from anybody who's building theirs. I built a Laser-X a while back, so I know the quaility is there, and I'm really looking forward to getting started on it. S..

Any suggestions how to re-create those chrome/foil bands on the Andromeda? S..

I'd like to be able to watch TV on my Dell Inspiron 2200 laptop. Anybody have any suggestions? Probably will be using it in fairly remote area, so antenna reception is more likely than cable or satellite - but nice to have bells & whistles 'cause you never know. If they can make a TV tuner for...

I slid an engine in after it was completed, and instead of coming to a nice full stop, it kept going. Upon removal of engine and closer inspection, it seems as though the upper bend of the clip pushed it's way into the inside of the engine tube through the slit at the top. The plan calls for a...

Just started this one. Anybody have any experience with this kit? Seems like a straightforward build, so far - mainly gluing punch-out cardboard pieces to a body tube. I'm curious as to how well it flies. Looks kinda draggy... S..

Picked this one up from ebay a few months back - just put the decals on yesterday. I bought it mainly because I just liked the way it looks. After a semi-tricky masking job, I'm pleased to say I'm not disappointed. It's even a little larger than I guessed. We'll see how well it flies soon, I...

Took me a while, but I finally finished it. Hasn't flown yet, but hope to soon. Fun to build - if you like building :) (Not the best pic - but the one with flash was worse). S...

I've searched to the limits of my searchabilities, and have come up empty. I am ready to paint my Snooper clone, and I want to go with the blue/white scheme I've seen on the re-issue package. I just can't find a good, clear pic. Can anybody post a link, or a pic or two? Thanks. S..

Took my 16-yr old son to see the show the other night. Never had the pleasure to see CCR in concert - but I feel like I have now. I'm sure Revisited puts on a great show, but... Anyway - just a quick note to say if you are a fan of Mr. Fogerty or Creedence, and he's coming to a town near you...

Specifically - anybody ever upgrade to a 24mm engine mount? Thoughts? Thanks. S..

I know it's old , but a person could really save some bucks if he painted a brand-new (much cheaper) Bertha to look like the old one. It might be cool to show off in it's original packaging, but this thing's up to 84 bucks. What am I missing? Maybe it's just me. S..

Specifically - I am working on Estes' USS Enterprise, and I suspect 18mm engines will not provide enough power for decent performance. It uses a short section of BT-20 for the mmt, to which a coupler is glued, then that slips into the 'stability probe' (a longer BT-20) which fits into a groove...

During the construction of my 24mm Outlander (it’s about 95% complete), it occurred to me that if I intended to build another one (and I do), there are more than a couple things I would do differently. I decided to jot these things down, as my mind is way too weak in the memory-retention...

I don't really expect to fly it much... but I am hoping it lives up to it's Skill Level 4 label, as I am looking forward to building another challenging kit. A quick TRF search revealed not much - but maybe a couple of you folks might have a specific tip or gotcha to keep in mind based on your...
