You're right, total crap, not funny, no interest whatsoever. Les

e-Rockets has one, I waited to place my order and now they are out of stock !

I an not able to see the photos in this thread. Am I doing something wrong ?

I've been looking for one of these Forever, Wanna Sell it ? Or know someone who has one they would be willing to part with ? \

They sure are neat birds. Just my opinion, most goonies are based on the Estes Baby Bertha kit. But, hey, it's your hobby, do what you like the most.

How anyone ever converted a Quest Planet Probe to us 24mm engines ? Not an upscale, just a conversion to the larger engine.

This is probably a little off topic but I am pretty sure that New Way is about to bring out their (square) version of the Teros, called the Squareros. I am a huge fan of their kits ! Quality components, great instructions, very complete (nobody else gives you sandpaper and a snap swivel)...

Just found out about the Tesla. Wow ! Just beautiful ! Jim, I don't know how you do it but you have outdone yourself again. And just when I had decided to stop building because I simply have too many model rockets. But I gotta have this one ! This will look great on my display shelf because...

Still looking to buy a Cluster Bomb ? Head on over to YORF. I put a post in their "Wanted - Dead or Alive" forum and got one resonable in less than three days.

Sounds good to me, I'll give this method a try !

Dear Rocketeers, The most common recovery system in LPR is Kevlar to elastic to nose cone and attach the parachute to the nose cone. Would there be any benefit if there were two lengths of elastic attached to the Kevlar; one for the nose cone and another for the parachute ? I make the...

I realize this is a very old post but if anyone could identify the 6 volt launcher shown in these photos, I would really appreciate it. And if you would know where I might find one or if anyone has one they would be willing to part with, that would be great. Thanks in advance, Les

I completely agree. Both Vena and Randy are great folks. Each month I look forward to seeing what they have found new and interesting to post on their website. I have already ordered a paperback version of Rocket Babe from Amazon and am anxiously awaiting delivery. Promises to be a great...

Dear Rocketeers, This has probably been done before, maybe as a poll, but I was just wondering what is the most number of flights that you have gotten from one LPR model before it was lost or became unrepairable ? And what was it ? Les

Greg, thanks for your response. However, it does me no good. I graduated from high school in 1965 with only a general education. I have no concept of higher math so the document is incomprehensible to me. Might someone provide me with a simple answer to my question? Thanks, Les

Dear Rocketeers, How big a body tube would be required to cluster seven BT-5's inside of it ? No, I have no plans to build a seven engine mini motor bird. I am considering trying to recreate the Estes #2189 S-Prize Rubicon kit with one mini motor. Unless it's already been done and someone...

Dear Fellow Rocketeers, To make a long story short; I needed a small, inexpensive part for one of Jims' rockets that I was kitbashing. I didn't have the need to place a large order. I sent an E-mail to Jim one day and the part went into the mail the next day ! Just great service ! Much...

Yeah, same with me. Great service and great communications. Much appreciated Marc ! The smaller companies like Marcs' are long on service and offer quality and unusual kits. This one in particular (both the kit and Marcs' company) receives my highest recommendation ! Les

I just ordered the Retro Rebel kit from Marc. Harsas on this forum recommended that I check out Rocketarium cause I was in the market for a saucer kit. When I saw the Retro Rebel kit, I forgot all about saucers ! This kit is just too cool ! It remind me of the old Buck Rogers show on TV...

I have become interested in saucers of late. I know there was the paper one and the Snitch from Estes, the Area 51 and Planet Probe from Quest and the Frick Frack from Fliskits. Were there or are there still any others out there ? Thanks in advance, Les
