I just have the final paint and decal left to do on my NCRbE SA Archer XL. Looking forward to posting pictures so I subbed this thread. I used an original kit but changed the MMT from 28mm (not a typo) to 38mm and cut new TTW fins to fit the new MMT. The rocksim file I used has these data...

It took me a while to find the websize showing the sizing, and my LHS was practically picked clean of any Evergreen stuff. I even brought my rail in. They're all nitro guys so they had no idea what I wanted and wasn't even worth asking. Here's the link: Evergreen Scale Models H-Beam I'm...

I call mine the Lepper.

I wrote the first of the one star reviews on Estes website. I'll admit, it is fun to fly, and I should of waited until I had flown it before writing the review, but there's a couple things that bug me about the foam and the appearance. My gripe isn't about using foam per se, it is the quality...

I've found an even easier way. When opening a program use control-click or right click to get a drop-down menu. Then select open. It will give you the same warning but there's an "Open" button. Then you're good to go. Easier than opening the Control Panel and WAAAY easier than using Terminal...

Sure. I have High Sierra and I’ve used this on previous versions back to when you could manually turn it off.

Bobby, You should know there's a much easier way to install RockSim on a Mac WITHOUT disabling the Gatekeeper feature or using terminal. A lot of people, myself included are not totally comfortable using terminal for fear of breaking something. When you launch a program for the first time...

LOL Inches, Millimeters, and Kilograms to describe one rocket. I don't know how there could ever be mistakes.

Nike Smoke PS II - looks to be a hair under 3"

I saw somewhere the PS II Doorknob is using the same BT as the PS II Nike Smoke. I can't remember off the top of my head what that was, but the PSII BTs were 2" 2.5" and 4" IIRC. They weren't your typical BT-xx sizes.

This one is more about holiday cheer than altitude. I have an extra Estes ornament from this year. Looking on my tree it looks like I don't have a 2017 or anything before that. Looking for an elf out there who's willing to do an even swap. I'll ship mine if you ship yours.

In my haste to take advantage of the great deals during Estes Cyber Weekend Sale, I accidentally ordered two Twin Factors, when I meant to order one Airborne Surveillance Missile and one Twin Factor. Anyone interested in a Twin Factor that would be willing to trade for an Airborne Surveillance...

Okay, so if we can't agree on who we should boycott, may I suggest a list of "Approved" FWFG vendors. I know there's a broader thread for approved vendors and such, but as this seems to be specific to FWFG, and we can't reach a consensus on whether or not boycotting is the right thing to do, I...

The Command Control is my primary Launch Controller. I have two 7.2v 2.2ah 30-30c Lipos, though I’ve done up to 29mm SU with just the one. In winter (put the battery in my parka when it wasn’t being used). I’ve always liked the audible tones and two buttons. Makes me feel like I’m really in...

But he invented high power rocketry. How are you supposed to get into this hobby without paying homage to the man? /s

I’ve flown the same motor/case/retainer combo. Everything worked fine. Remember, the thrust ring on the case transfers force to the motor tube while going up. All the retainer really does is keep the case from falling out after burnout and withstanding the force of the ejection so the laundry...

I am in the same boat - trying to find a rail solution while keeping the weight down. So I emailed Apogee. My email: “I’m building my Apogee Saturn V and I wanted to know if you had any recommendations for or sell rail guides that will fit the main body tube. I know I can use a traditional...

Scott has posted on The Book Of Faces that we’re a go for tomorrow. Forcast is calling for wind.

Yes, I also write that knowing that he keeps the winter follies off the calendar as it can be December or January and doesn’t happen every year.

As this is the last launch on the calendar, I’m certainly hoping the weather will be in our favor.
