Wanted to post a build thread on Toby's (Big_Red_Daddy on the forum) cloned Mega Der Red max kits. He's doing them in both 29mm and 38mm flavors and since I already have the Estes one with the 29mm, I got this one with the 38mm. (more fun right!?) I also got the optional nosecone bulkplate for...

With all the rainy weather and lack of any high power launches this year for Northern California (last one was Dec. 2018) I've had a LOT of time to build some high power birds. Hoping to have TEN new high power vehicles ready for next weekend's LUNAR launch. Steve has a few new kits and these...

I apologize for the delay in this review, as I've had this A/V bay built for a while, flown, but just haven't posted. I needed a 54mm A/V for my Mach 1 rocketry Portia. The A/V bay was a custom length and used non-standard I/D FG tubing as it was the prototype for the kit. Steve at SMT was SUPER...

Posting these here for folks to modify. This represents my build of the kit, with nose cone a/v bay. Hope it helps others at least to get started. I also am using 7/16" tubular nylon, it's plenty strong, but lighter than what was included.

I know there's been a few build threads on this rocket already, and it's a sweet bird, but I wanted to add my version of the build as I've made a few changes to the kit that others may find useful. First the kit, picked up for 20% off (I didn't bother trying my luck for25...) during the sale and...

Ordered a few kits during the Mach 1 rocketry Black Friday Sale. This one intrigued me because it was an 18mm minimum diameter FG kit. I've never seen one before and wanted a little kit that I could send into orbit with a D24 reload. :) Anyhow, some build pics from the first day. I've built...

Photos and files attached. The base station has space for two gum stick batteries, the receiver unit with posts for the screws to thread into. Room for an integrated charger, a hole in the top for the SMC connector for the external antenna and a bay for an integrated charger. Internal...

I picked up a few of these a while back and have built out at least one of each already, so getting rid of the last few to make room for some high power kits. Looking to get 55 bucks each or 150 for all three. Will pay shipping to lower 48. Kits are perfect and unopened. No bends/creases, etc.

In our area of California we have the choice of two awesome fields once the rains come, one is a low/mid-power field with a 1500' ceiling and a G-motor limit due to it's proximity to a major AFB and the field size. The second is an amazing high power field, but I digress. I wanted a fiberglass...

Will be doing my L2 attempt here as soon as the rains come in California. I have a few vehicles capable of doing the deed, but wanted to go big on it. So... Mach 1 Rocketry's Speed Demon. Attached is the build thread to date, just waiting for the last fin to dry now. Will be matte black Tamiya...

Bay Area Rocketry's LDRS special "BAR-None" came in the mail today. I'll get a build thread going. So far it looks really nice. Photo is next to a stock Leviathan which is pretty close in size. Total weight is 41 Oz without recovery or retention. I believe with everything added I can sneak in...

Just finished up the paint on a 4" FG kit with a 54mmt I call "+P". Used the Nike Sustainer from one of my Nike Apache kits (Apache is a stand-alone flier from this kit) and a mammoth 3D printed nose cone with a pretty unique shape. Paint is Duplicolor Gold metallic flake and copper metallic...

This is my first sale on the forum, so hopefully doing this right. I bought two of these kits with the intention of building one as the true 2 stage kit and to build the other as a Nike Smoke (with a separate nose cone) and a stand alone Apache. As such, I had no need for the interstage coupler...

I figured since Mach 1 is a relatively new company (which I have no affiliation with) I'd post my experience and impressions as I go through the build process. I actually bought three of their kits as a special order. As I understand it, their webpage https://www.mach1rocketry.com is still WIP...

I received the Mach 1 Rocketry Portia and Speed Demon today in the mail. (Got a second Portia for a co-worker). They both look like excellent kits and I've been looking for some unique dual deploy fliers. Will do a build thread for each separately. I'm going to try and finish the Portia for...

I was going to get started on these before the flying season here in California kicks off, but if anyone has already done them, no sense in reinventing the wheel. I've seen 29mm retainers and 29 to 24 mm adapters, but nothing in the 38mm flavor. Anyone out there know if these already exist?

So, I placed an order for some Aerotech F44-4's on Black Friday back in November... not a ton of them (6-packs) like I usually do. However, they have continually sent me backorder notices with no ETA on shipping. I've emailed twice to get clarification with the same response. Called Aerotech...

I'd like to print a few for a launch this next weekend. I know Estes sells them, but if someone has a model handy... 5 mins is much better than driving.

So I finished building a modified STM-012 with twin 24x95mm mounts (Estes "E" size). For the maiden flight though, I'd like to do a D12-0 to D12-7. I've got a ton of the 1 inch spacers to fill up the 25mm delta between the motor sizes. However, all the BP staged rockets I've done in the past...
