I am wanting to build one of these as well with the Asteroid Hunter nosecone. In fact, I have cut out all the balsa parts using the template from the Ye olde site a while back but haven't gotten around to starting on the model. I don't know for sure, but the Asteroid Hunter nose cone looks to be...

Let's not forget that James Garner was also in the classic UFO abduction movie "Fire in the Sky". I love that movie!

I'm thinking foil lined tubes are more of an aesthetic thing for rocket models that have open tubes. I'm just not sure how easily that foil gets damaged or starts peeling away.

Oh man when I was in Junior High I was playing NES games every chance I had. I had over 30 games at one point, great memories but I have no desire to play any of those games again. When the games weren't working, the hot tip was to clean the contacts on the cartridges with a q-tip dipped in...

Sad to hear of the news also. I had quite a few small orders in the past year and the shipping times were always super quick! I will miss your quality products :(

I tend to favor the non toxic materials so I prefer Elmers Wood Fill 'n' Finish. I use it on body tubes and launch lugs and it works great for me. I have bought a tube of the Bondo spot filler but I have yet to use it. Rust-oleum 2X Primer before paint works great to hide any imperfections and...

I don't usually log on to read the forum posts and I don't see any ads. But I'm also using Safari for Mac with the Adblock extension installed.

I was curious so I had to go look at the Art Applewhite website. I'm gonna be honest in saying that there is nothing on his site that I would buy or *ahem* bother cloning. On another note, that web site design is stuck in the early 90's.

It really bugs me when people are selling stuff they clearly know nothing about on eBay. On another eBay note, what are people thinking when they ship you a rocket kit? One time I won an auction for a kit and the seller shipped it to me in a manilla paper envelope! Needless to say, the body tube...

Good to know, I wonder if Estes tells you to glue it in the fillet just to make it easy for the builder?

Do what all the time? Center the launch lug you mean?

I have several rockets that call for the launch lug to be glued in the fin fillet. Would it hurt anything if I decided to glue the lug in between the fins instead of in the fillet? I think it looks better centered but if it leads to an unstable take-off I will follow the instructions.

Build a Mosquito or similar small rocket and use it as a birthday cake topper. After the cake is cut up she can keep the mini rocket as a memento and fly it later.

Dang, now you come out with these. How much are you selling these mandrels for?

I noticed that too, I looked everywhere on their site but couldn't find anything. It sucks too, I had some points to use :( On another note, I am betting that the "December Sale" rockets are the ones featured this month. They must have a huge cache of these still?

I played around with the shopping cart and it looks like you can get free shipping if you order at least $90. I bought three Monarchs during the last sale so I will wait and see what the rest of the week brings.

I appreciate these great sale prices on kits but once you factor in the high shipping cost, is it still a good deal? I think the December sale was so popular because of the free shipping in addition to the sale prices.

Thanks Dale, when you get this shipped, can you provide me with the tracking number in a private message? Can't wait to start using it, thanks again!

Dale, my wife won't let me spend more than $100 so I will take the small fin guide with the BT-20, BT-50, BT-55, and BT-60 mandrels. Payment sent Saturday at 1 AM. Thanks!

This is excellent news, thank you for the updates.
