    Holy Frak!

    A Battlestar Galactica Viper Mark 2. I know this used to be a kit you could buy, but I decided to scratch build one. It's been sittin' a while, hence the dust. I really need to start painting.

    Fliskits Preator question

    I picked up a 2nd Preator back in 2006 & put in a 24mm E mount. I took her out of stasis & decided to get her flight ready for a launch this spring. My question is: has anyone else done this mod & launched on a D/adapter or E motor? I've never launched it & I'm wondering if those huge fins will...

    Anyone else see the hobbit

    I just took the kids to see it today & it was awesome! we loved all 3 hours of it! The detail that peter jackson puts into these movies is almost overwhelming!-in a good way, though.

    Estes executioner or mega Alpha

    I dug out my Estes Executioner that i bought back in 2006 & never finished & started working on her again. I'm agonizing over the decision to either make it the 38.5" length to be the executioner or shorten it to look like a "mega Alpha". It has a Thrustline aerospace baffle & a ripstop nylon...

    Anyone launch an Estes Star Trooper on an A10-3T & get it back?

    I'm just wondering. I picked 2 up at hobby lobby cause there's just somethin cool about a rocket that goes 900ft on mini engines. I don't have any "forest green" rockets either. (for obvious reasons).

    another mini max

    When i got back into this hobby, i was gonna try & start with one build from start to finish. Well my girlfriend & i ended up at hobby lobby to which i made a beeline for the rockets as usual when i saw 2 Der Red mini max's. This little thing is just to cool to pass up! The weird thing is that 1...

    fake-wulf question

    Can anyone tell what size chute the booster takes. I seem to have lost the chute & this is a must launch soon bird. I remember taking it off about 5 years ago when i had to do a small repair to the booster. The body tube had crumpled a little right under the centering ring below the baffle...

    My go to rocket on a C6-5

    My favorite go to rocket on a C6-5 is without a doubt my Goony Goblin! It goes plenty high & you can still see it & recovers quickly on a 9" ripstop nylon chute. I think it looks waaay cooler than a baby bertha & i know it performs better. I'm sure i've launched it well over 20 times & it comes...

    I'm obsessed with the movie Prometheus

    Any of you Sci-Fi fans like me like this movie? I have always been a huge sci-fi fan all my life. when i first saw Ridley Scotts Alien, i was blown away. I love the vision of this movie & the way Scott portrayed the "grittyness" of space travel. I love that Prometheus expands on the mystery of...

    I"m back after a 5 years

    I'd like to say hi again to everyone. I've been launching lpr at different times all through my life since a teenager. I had a bump n the road of life with a divorce in 08' & put my rockets in a big box & they went into a storage garage for a long time. A few weeks ago i moved my things in...
