Sorry...no build thread this time...just a quick review. I was lucky enough to take advantage of their discount NARAM sale and saved a few bucks. I received kit# 48. This is a 168% upscale of the classis Mars Snooper. I received the box in the mail and opened it immediately to find a very...

First and formost I want to start this thread out by saying a BIG Thank You to Gordy "Sandman" Agnello. Without his expertise and precision, this project may not have come about. I had mailed Gordy a packet of information on what I had planned to construct. We had talked through e-mails and by...

That's right friends.....My daughter Tiffany was in the Miss Jodaviess County Fair Pageant last night and came away with the 2006 Queen title.....how freakin cool is that. Her speech was about how much she loved her parents for bringing her up as the outdoors type in doing such things as hunting...

I picked up this kit the other day at Hobby Lobby with a 40% off coupon. While some say ugly, and some say cool.....the fins and nose cone just doesn't do it for me. I've added a pnc60AH and the slightly upscale fins from the Citation Bandit. I think it looks better, but want some opinions...

Many of you know that I'm an avid hunter. I posted my bow kill here and now it's time to show off my gun kill. I was waiting to hear from some big outdoor mag but it seems they arn't interested in small potatoes. So...for your viewing pleasure...here's my Boone and Crockett Buck. Green score non...

Thats right gang, Got my L-2 last weekend to this this past weekend. Not to bad if I say so myself.

Why Marty could not go to Naram...... My daughter Tiffany was in the JoDaviess County Fair Pageant. There were nine young ladies in the competition this year all going for the title of "Miss JoDaviess County". All contestants had to do all the regular things...swim suit, evening gown, a dance...

The Estes Astron X-ray was one of my first rockets back in 74-75. I still have it...just couldn't loose the darn thing. On one of my latest shopping trips I came across an Estes bt-60 payload section kits....bt-55-60. So...what to build? I came up with an upscale factor of 180% by taking...

This project actually started out a while back to see if I could take a 12" x3x3 block of balsa and turn a half way good looking nose cone. I think I did just that. Total exposed length is 11"...the picture is an optical illusion of sorts.

I've been asked by the local Cub pack to do a small demo and launch on the 23rd. How much detail do I go into with a bunch of 11-12 yr old boys? I'm just planning on A-D flights but will take some of my bigger rockets for show and tell purposes. This is a first for me and would appreciate...

Two years ago, I built a 21/2 stall garage, with the intention of having the 1/2 stall being my shop. It has sat wall less since then. My wife has decided since we have our oldest daughter graduating this spring, to have the graduation party out in the garage.....Can you see where this is going...

I received my NAR L-2 test in the mail today. Am I allowed to open the envelope or should I just keep it closed untill the launch this weekend and turn it over to whomever is going to oversee the testing?

The Jayhawk I'm building over in the Scratch section will be my first useage of rail buttons. What would you guys do here.....put the buttons in the CR's as in this picture?

Just wanted to let the forum members here know about this big launch. Is anybody going? https://tripoliquadcities39.com/page11.html

I've been working on this for some time...my secret project. It's basically a 160% upscale of the Estes Pro Series kit. The boat tail was made from poster board and glassed with 2 wraps of 4oz. The fins all cut out and beveled to shape. The NC is just temporary...I'm waiting for a different...

That's right guys...I'm on Vacation. I'm sitting in sunny Phoenix AZ sucking down some cold one's. I'll be here for a few days and plan to check out some hobby shops in the area. Looks like I've missed or will miss some launches in the area. Then....."I'm going to Disneyland". I'll be in...

Just like Gerbs...I too Certified L1 on Saturday at the monthly TQC launch. My wife, youngest daughter and I arrived shortly after noon, and set up our camp. I then tracked down Brad Wilson...some of you may remember him from the Rocket Challenge. I also paid a visit to Tim Lehr of Wildman...

A few years ago when I got back into rocketry full time, I found an Estes Maxi Honest John reissue at Hobby Lobby for $19.99. It wasn't marked at the time so I asked a gal for a price check. At first she said $29.99 and I thought "great". Then she said.....How's $19.99 sound.....and man I about...

I dug out my lathe today and tried my hand at turning some balsa. I've wanted to make one of these for some time now but could not find the wrap patterns on the net. Here's a pic of the parts from my second attempt.
