Saturday's launch was windyier than I like, 10-15mph. Launched the Expedition on a D12 and it flew great. Arced over and ejected just after apogee. Wanted to try it on an AP E15 but we had a lot of rockets going into the corn at the edge of the field.

Expedition is built and will fly this weekend. Twin Factor just arrived but Halloween decorating may keep me from getting it built in time. Keep these great innovative kits coming, John.

Gotcha covered.

During WWII the term "Good enough for government work" meant it was of the highest quality. After most of the work done for the government was going to the war effort and nobody wanted shoddy materials going to the boys overseas. Now it simply means something is just barely good enough to get...

It's perfect for my Easter Egg, converted from a 16" plastic egg. Only goes about 200' but the crowds love it!!!

Welcome. Reach out to the clubs in the area. You've got some great rocket geeks very near. Hang on for a real thrill ride in the hobby. Hope to see you at a launch soon.

I'm a rocketeer, not a collector. Build, Fly, Enjoy. See you on the range.

The club in Toledo disappeared several years ago. I know of one rocketeer who recently moved to Toledo, so a new club ma be in the future. The Skybusters field in Amherst would only be around an hour drive for you, but it is currently under about 5 feet of corn. We'll be back in October...

My first response was "Are you kidding me!!!!" Now I'm laughing so hard my eyes are watering. OMG

I'm sorry to hear Stickershock will be closing its doors, but family comes first. Take care of her and come back if and when you can. Pat

Not as bad as the northeast with all the snow, nut we have 6 foot snow piles from clearing my 30 foot long driveway. TV news declared this the coldest February on record with four more days projected to be below that 15.2 degree record. Pat

I put an Aero-pac retainer on my Bull Puppy but wanted to reduce the length it stuck out he boattail. I used a dremel tool to expand the hole enough so it just fit over the retainer's OD. Worked well and gave me what I wanted. Check out stickershoc23.com for a wide variety of vinyl decals...

When Steve Eves flew is 1/10 scale Saturn V he had removeable fins that were bolted on for flight. I've seen a level 3 bird with fins that could be secured with a bolt/screw attachment through the aft centering ring. I have a baby bottle I fly that has clear fins. I got tired of repairing it...

count me in. Pat count me in. Pat

You won't need to up-scale it. The original was in a BT-50 and the first stage motor was a D1-0. The usual problem was getting the second stage to light since it transitioned from 24mm to 18mm, but once you got past that little hurdle it was a great high flying rocket. Best wishes on hour...

Try https://edmondsaerospace.com/#Ordering. They have a list of all their gliders/kits, some you can order on their site, along with a list of all their vendors. I have the Stage 2 Thunder waiting for a good day to fly it. Unfortunately the weather is turning for the worse here in Ohio...

Talk with them and present the positive side of rocketry. Bring NAR flyers, TARC flyers and other documents and references to support that this is a fun, safe hobby. Stress these aren't fireworks and that rocketeers routinely leave their flying fields cleaner than when they arrived. Good...

Welcome back to rocketry and welcome to TRF. Hope you can find a club where you don't have to drive too far. Be sure to as as many questions as you want. You'll be amazed at how much rocketeers want to share.
