    Balsa wood fins

    If alignment guides are great and all... but as previously said, not necessary. Take your time. Mark your tubes. On even numbers of fins, glue them across from each other. Unless they are off by a big difference, your rocket will most likely still fly straight. The more you build, the better...

    Fixing Engine Ring Damage

    You could cut a piece of a spent motor casing. I've done that over the years when scratch building,

    Does wicking a cardboard tube with CA add any strength?

    When I first got back into model rocketry as an adult (BAR 1.0) I ended up launching with a large club in Southern California's high desert. My precious rockets were being ground down and destoyed by the harsh dry lake bed conditions. I started laminating my tubes and balsa with 0.75 oz...

    What was the first rocket you ever launched?

    Way back in 1978 or 1979.... Took a rocket building class at my local city library one summer. I don't think it was a commercial kit. The folks running the class brought parts. We cut our fins and glued the pieces together. If I remember correctly, it was a 3 FNC on at 3" BT-5. I remember...

    Estes Majestic

    It's a pretty bird to fly! I like the nose cone and fins. They glimmer in the early morning sun when going up. We've flown ours on Aerotech D13, E20, F42 with adapters, and 29mm G. Also Estes E and F.

    Any tips on slotting tubes?

    The key to using a Dremel is you don't push hard. Let it do the work. With the wheel, just move it lightly back and forth over your guide line.

    Any tips on slotting tubes?

    Honestly.... I'm sure to get a bit of flak for what I'm about to suggest. Lol Don't sweat it to much. You can simply use a sharp (new) #11 blade and make piercing cuts. One blade height at time. Take your time and follow you guide lines as closely as possible. It doesn't need to be perfect...

    What did you do rocket wise today?

    Wow! I've been gone for awhile and can't believe this thread is still going. Sadly, I only looked at rockets online today. [emoji20] I need to get out to my workshop and dust off a rocket or two.

    What happend to Elmer's CWF?

    Well that's what had... and can't find now. There is a new Color Change Wood Filler and Probond Wood Filler. Elmer's dosn't even have the old CWF listed anymore. :( Hoping to learn if either of the new ones are similar. Jerome
