Are they dropping model rocketry products entirety or is this just a product refresh?

I think that MIT guide was very influential in my competition days. Plus, it really made an impression on my dad who used to think rocketry was just Estes' kid stuff.

Only BP and limited at that: https://estesrockets.com/collections/xl-29mm

Why did they sport producing BP and composite motors? Hobby Lobby misses me!

I bought these and they rock! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0756N84VK?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1

I have a Wildman 4" cone and a phenolic nose cone coupler that is stuck in the cone. It's hard to get a grip on anything.

Amen.

The back end sometimes unscrews without the need of a wrench but the front end (delay and ejection side) sometimes gets STUCK and I've needed plyers which just scratches the hell out of the case. What am I doing wrong?

What is that blue stuff you have to protect the case?

Wow, you guys bring up some memories. I was in touch with Dave for many months before he died. I believe he told me that he owned the machines for the motors and was thinking about introducing new ones. Personally, I flew many, many E5, F7, F100 motors back in the 80s and NEVER had a cato...

Several have suggested this so I am going to go this route with an Eggwhatever it's called.

LOL. I fly in Lucerne Valley and I've damn near had some rockets land in Phoenix.

The GPS module looks interesting!

I didn't think of that. This might work better than a dual-deploy for this rocket (and others I have).
