In addition to all the great pieces, can I suggest "Two Steps from Hell"? You absolutely have to crank the volume WAY up!

I'd say it'll fly. With enough nose weight, it'll fly straight. With less, it may wobble a bit as it corrects itself (or tilt the rod/rail). Go Team Thag!!! :)

Very nice! Interesting that the nose looks more like the A-12's with an X-15 cockpit bubble. Any chance for upscales? :)

Post pics! We love build threads! :) Here's one my kid & I built: https://www.rocketryforum.com/threads/estes-sr-71-blackbird-clone-build-thread.174691 If you want to make it a little closer to scale: - recut & flip the ventral fins around (large edge first, with grain running parallel) - top...

Why not make the shuttle boxy with opened fore & aft so you have a rectangular/hexagonal tube fin? Or change it to the Botany Bay in the proper tractored position?

It flew! Nice!!! :) What's the all-up CG on this ship? I somehow picture the topview CP to be slightly below the center of the bare tube between the saucer rear & the nacelle front. That would suggest that the CG to be closer to the top of the body tube? Congrats again! Go goonies!!!

Another goony fan here! Given enough nose weight to move that CG way up, it will fly just fine. *DO* swing test in different orientations to be sure. Looking forward to the paint, livery, & launch report! :) ps - I would use decals for the registration number rather than embossing, but that's...

RG if possible, though I haven't been very successful. BG otherwise? :)

Very nice! I forgot the "Lt." part, but something like "you're looking at the only Starfleet cadet to beat the no-win scenario"? Make it fly RG or BG, as Lockheed intended, pretty, pretty please with sugar on top? :)

Nice! How do you prevent the loop from shorting? No nitrocellulose nail polish or Duco cement?

Not much help here but the Internet Archives has a lot of the Reader's Digest indexes. They are categorized by year & subject and fortunately, "animals" is on the 1st or 2nd page. 1975 appears to be missing but perhaps one of the categorized story titles can jog your memories? I didn't see any...

Darn it! Hold the press again!!! It's A8-3, and don't forget the URL! Message me if you'd like free proofreading! :)

Hold the press! The URL says "starlighrockets.com"! It's missing a "t"!!!

Nice! Label paper or spray adhesive will work. I'm with Tim the Enchanter (@tsmith1315) - White glue and permanent glue sticks can work but should be sealed at the edges. Glue sticks won't wrinkle nor smudge the artwork whereas white glue can/will.

Official trailer is out!

So sorry to hear this. Rest in peace, George. Ad astra - may your soul soar among the stars.

Great series! Slow beginning but incredible setup & payoff for the rest of the show! I'll have to build another EA starfury rocket and perhaps try a Narn G'Quan heavy cruiser. I'd love to do a Minbari Sharlin cruiser but don't know how to get it stable. Anyone know which way is the "front" of...

I thought the main character in the original Unreal was male? Character gender isn't an issue for me but there *is* a distinction between single/solo-player games vs multiplayer games. For single player (like Tomb Raider or Metroid), it probably doesn't matter much. If there's a choice, then...

Very nice! Does the raider on the left fly? 🙂

"Done is better than perfect." "Better/perfect is the enemy of 'good enough.'" plus the 80/20 rule (or 70/30, 90/10, etc.) Edit: Didn't know I had typos in my original post. Corrected: "Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana." "If you can't join 'em, beat 'em." "A journey of...
