Went to Hobby Lobby yesterday to pick up a few kits, one being the new Astrocam (kit only, not starter set). Well, there were 3 on the rack, and I grabbed one and noticed it had a blue body tube. I just happened to notice that the next one had a black body tube. Anyone else notice this...

My son is now 18 months old, and is a rocket nut. He "blasts off" everything he gets his hands on, much like all of us. :) Well, I can't let him play with my rockets, because he's not very gentle with them; so I made him this shirt. I got the pic from Fliskits site, and printed it on some...

Just wanted to let everyone know about my experience with Jonrocket.com It's been a couple of weeks now, but after seeing Eugene's Semroc Skyhook in the A burner thread, I decided I should try out a Semroc kit. I figured at the same time I could try out Jonrocket.com since he carries Semroc. I...

Well, I've been without a good working PC for nearly 3 months now, but I'm getting it back together, sort of. I can get online now, but I still can't my pics off my camera. Anyway, I'll be trying to catch up on all the threads I've missed and I'll post some stuff as I find time. What's...

A recent thread gave me an idea. I'd like to build a screensaver with pics from everyone here at TRF. Instead of many pics from 1 person, I'd like to have 3-4 from everyone. So start posting. Pick out a few of your best rocket pics, launching, static, low power, high power, whatever you got...

I recently ordered some F20-4 Econojets for my Initiator, but got F20-7 instead. Has anyone flown an Initiator on this motor? Is it a good/bad idea. I'm thinking that delay might be too long. ???? Tim

Didn't know what to do with this, but I couldn't resist posting it. I was prepping a few rockets for paint the other day and just happen to notice this view of how they were laying on the table. So I adjusted them a bit and took a pic. It may be a bit corny, but I thought it was funny...

There's some show coming on TechTV about a man who invented a personal rocket he wants to fly into space. I have an idea of who it might be. The show is called Invent This!. It airs 10/7 at 10:00p.m.et/9central and repeats 10/8 at 1:30 p.m.et/12:30 central. slim

Last Wednesday was my birthday so of course I just had to launch a rocket. I didn't have alot of time, so I grabbed my favorite yard flyer, my Fat Boy, and loaded it with a B6 to test my new homemade shroudless chute. Well since you can't launch just one, I also grabbed my Midnight Express. I...

Ok, here's the story; I ordered my first Fliskits a couple weeks ago, the Deuces Wild and a Richter Recker. I was so pleased with the kits and service and everything that I decided to get some more. I couldn't make up my mind what I wanted but wanted to get my order in by 9/30 for the free...

Hope this doesn't come off as a dumb question, but could someone explain Chad staging to me? I saw it on a video of a Space Shuttle model project and it was just awesome. On the model, the 2 SRB's had motors in them and they boosted the rocket first. They then seperated, then a motor in the...

I just finished construction of my scratch AMRAAM, and I'm about to start the painting and finishing. Does anyone have a scan of the text that is on an actual AMRAAM? This one is sport scale. I found different sets of data all over the internet for the real thing, so I wasn't sure if there were...
