https://www.grizzly.com/products/Hobby-Lathe/H2669 This is a web site that sells a hobbly lathe. It is drill powered. Has anyone seen it in use or may have used one in the past. Just seeing if it would be worth the money. Thanks Chief

Is it possible to build a rocket for L1 and L2 certification without using fiberglass? At the annual club meeting they were asking for LCOs to volunteer. I said I would but I was told you have to be certified L2 to run the launch control panel. Well I am very allergic to fiberglass and cannot...

When at the NEFAR November Launch, I was having problems with getting an E9-4 to ignite. After three failed attempts my buddy said let's double the igniters. So we twisted two together and put it in the motor. It worked. I emailed Estes and asked them if there were any problems I should know...

I have a scratch built the Estes Phoenix 1380, 90% completed. I am reading the instructions and do not see any requirements for nose weight. I know I am not using a stock nose cone, which may be heavier than the one I am using. So common sense says to use some nose weight. I also built the...

On the second of this month, to my great surprise, I received the following e-mail. Preston, Congratulations! Your name was randomly selected as our Grand Prize Winner for our annual raffle during our FlisKits 9th anniversary celebration! You have won a low production number (single...

I am looking for the correct fin patterns for the Estes Pheonix Rocket. If any one has the correct size pattern or even measurements for the fins I would appreciate a set. This is all that I need to finish my clone. Thanks nukemmcssret :)

I am trying to make a RockSim 9.?? File for the US Tog. I built it and now want to write a review. I know I do not need a RockSim file to write a review but it would be neat. Here is my problem. How do you get the rear reactor tube to wrap around the main body tube that goes to the nose...

Recently while cruising through the General Dollar store I found Crayola Crayon banks in the kiddies section. I snatched a few up. Here is the question; I saw some pictures of this type of rocket with clear fins so they would not interfere with the crayon. The title stated that the fins were...

I want to build a rocket that uses rear ejection for the recovery system. Does the fwd motor mount centering ring act as heart shield for the parachute? Do you wrap the shock cord and parachute arount the mount or just pack it between the mount's centering ring. If you wrap the cords around...

Is there going to be a secret santa this year. :confused:

How do the Monickers under your name change? Like New member, Junior Rocketeer? Is it just time on the forum driven? Just curious. :cheers:

My Section 563 NEFAR is having a night flight in November. That gives me a few months to build a rocket with LED's. Has any one done this and what was your power source. I am thinking two nine volts and 6 -8 LED's. WIll this be bright enough. I can cluster three or four Estes D's if I have...

:( While at my club's (NEFAR NAR 563, TRA 35), June Half Blast at Clegg Sod Farm near Bunnell FL, I lost an Estes Payload 2 stage rocket. Not the first one I might add!! Any way it was flying on an Estes C6-0-C6-5. It launched straight up, but around 100 - 150ft it started to veer horizontal...

:D Today I received my FlisKits Inc. Decim8. I plan on writing a review for the EMRR. I am participating in the EMRR challenge. I need points. I also plan on posting the build here. I am in the process of moving so this is going to be a challenge. I need to plan this build around the...

Has anyone built a rocket that uses rear ejection? I cannot find a design for one. Do you have to have a bulkhead in front of the engine mount so the gases blow it out? Or does the glued nosecone work good enough? I am designing a rocket for the EMRR build this spaceship and I think the only...

I have a few questions about this contest. How do you add paint and decals? Also when you have it finished how do you submit it? I asked the first question about two weeks ago and I still have no answers. Can any one help? Thanks Nukemmcssret:confused 2: :cheers:

I have a question. How can you edit a reveiw you already posted? Also Does a scratch built rocket review need pictures? I built this Cluster rocket that meets the 2010 EMRRs' challange but did not take any pictures when I built it. The rocket was built in February. It really flies well...
