    Estes Saturn V price

    H/L's here don't put any rockets on clearance anymore. I guess they've caught on. The Sat-V is marked at $89 right now.

    paint'in rockets

    Ya know, they say that talking to yourself doesn't make you crazy, only when you start answering yourself.......Wonder about replying......J/K:D I looked at that Bandito and thought it would make a good "class rocket" as it isn't quite a preformed plastic fin can, but if you say it takes a...

    AeroTech 38/240-480 SET

    Check with CLE Enterprises (www.the-motorman.net) if you aren't opposed to the Dr. Rocket name on the AT casings. He's got all Dr. Rocket hardware on sale at 25% off. Might save you some $$.

    Water base paint question

    Future will shoot thru an airbrush straight out of the bottle, but you wanna make absolutely sure you get it cleaned real good. One thing bad about shooting clear through an airbrush is making sure you get it cleaned out after. However, there really is no need to bother with the airbrush and...

    Walmart Bargain (not)

    Was in Walmart a day or so ago and remembered that I needed a Baby Bertha for an upcoming project. I thought I remembered seeing some in those plastic packages so I searched the clearance area first and then to the rocket shelf. I found two.......Then I noticed the price....$8.88 Hmmmmmmm...

    what did estes replace big daddy with??

    The Michaels here sold out all of the Big Daddy's on clearance for $12 about a year ago. I bought one at the time and now wish I had bought all 6 that were on the shelf. That's a tough rocket. Wish I had one to build for a cluster. The Executioner is a big one, but not nearly as stout as the...

    Estes C6-5

    Speaking of the age requirements for motor purchase, not that long ago, I was in Walmart stocking up on 18mm motors and when I went to pay, the cashier asked to see my DL. That was the first time I've been checked for motor purchse ever and I asked why. She answered that she had to check my...

    Estes C6-5

    Sounds like the same sort of thing our local hobby shop guy would say when he doesn't want to stock something. Then he'd say he would try and find some for me and then mark them at about $11 a pack.

    Custom 38mm Motor Case Storage Box

    WOW! That is something. I wish I could do work like that, but then, if I could, the wife would have a list about 14 pages long of things I NEED to build. That, of course, would cut significantly into the 13 minutes per week I have of "rocket building time" so for now I will simply keep hiding...

    Its finished!

    Hey Lugnut, I like the logo. Looks real professional. Mine was/is going to be a little more "casual" looking. I only have a pencil sketch of it right now. As for cutting the aluminum, I agree that it is pretty soft. I don't have a recip. saw, so I went the drill and dremel route to get...
