Is BMS still in business? I have ordered from them previously and had a great experience each time! Have tried reaching out to them to ask a couple of questions, from multiple e-mail accounts, and all the e-mails get bounced back as saying they were "spam" or that there was no such recipient...

Please move if goes somewhere else. Didn't want to list in "vendors" or "for sale" as I am not the one selling this item. Anyway, at https://drop.com/buy/geekboards-stitched-edge-thick-cloth-deskmats there is a SOYUS 11A511 computer deskmat for your viewing pleasure. If you have the "space"...

Would like to buy an Estes Renegade kit if anyone has one that they are willing to sell?

Thought this was pretty interesting to watch:

This may not be the right forum and I apologize if it is not. Sometime in the past I read a build thread, possibly by "Wildman", that detailed a "foam and fly" build. It was basically a "buy it on Thursday, fly it on Saturday" build thread using foam for the fin can build. Like a dummy I...

I am looking for the name and manufacturer of a kit please. I believe it is a Semroc kit but could be quest. It "looks/looked" like the Estes Big Bertha but had/has a removable motor mount that accepted either single or multiple engines depending upon its configuration. The motor mount was...

All, I found this story online and thought I would share it here as well. https://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/mind-and-soul/this-orphaned-burn-victim-lost-her-family-in-an-arson-attack%E2%80%94all-she-wants-for-christmas-is-your-cards/ar-AAgaMB9?ocid=ansmsnlife11 Given the generous...

Who are the manufacturer's of custom parachutes? I have heard of "Fruity Chutes" and "Top Flight Recovery" and am wondering two things: 1. Are there any other vendors who make/sell parachutes for model rockets? 2. How do I find them/their websites? Thanks!

What is the recommended length for launch rods when it's used for low power? (A-E or F) I realize it depends upon a lot of other things. I am curious about the prevailing wisdom. I am considering purchasing new one piece rods (one of each size) since my two piece Estes rod has become a two...

Okay, So "trying" to be a good dad I let my son talk me into glueing the fins on *his* Estes Monarch so they would be straight. Silly me, forgot to check which was the root edge and consequently glued them on backwards. Doh!:facepalm::sad: Is there a way to "unglue" them so that they...

Have a couple (at the moment) of quick questions about teaching a younger generation (ages 7 and 11) how to build rockets please: Do you start teaching how to build rockets using CWF to fill the balsa fins and body spirals or just focus on getting it to the pad to launch first and then teach...

Hi Everyone! I have been "lurking" around for about a month or so reading the articles and "how to's" and figured it was time to introduce myself to the community that has taught me so much in such a short time! Anyway, here goes: I started in rocketry many, many, many moons ago (think...
