I just noticed that Estes has brought back the Der Red Max on their website. I've been away for a few months, maybe this was discussed before, but it didn't come up in a search. Nice to see them really listening to us. It is one of the "most requested" rockets according to their website...

Just built my new Taurus to replace the one lost many many years ago. Anyone considered popping three mini motors in the 13mm pods and flown it as a cluster? Plenty of room for extra nose weight up there since the "payload" section is basically useless.

Anyone know what the BT-200 is for the Estes Space ship one? It looks close to the BT-70. I was thinking of kit-bashing this into a dual motor cluster Jayhawk. The tailcone looks to be perfect for that. Anyone know off hand if the BT-200 is available from any of the vendors in 18" length?

I just built my first Semroc Kits: SST Shuttle, Texas Firefly, and the freebie Lil' Ivan. I like getting a free one. First, Great kits. The laser balsa is a Plus. Putting the staging vents in the centering rings was a great idea. This eliminates the burning of the airframe and...

Oooh, I hope it's the Centuri Taurus. That was a great one. I just placed my first Semroc order today. Looking forward to some centuri memories. I hope the Jayhawk (or the Magnum-D) is coming soon too. Maybe the fighter fleet? The future will be bright. :)

I am in Dresden and holed to find some rocket-related hobby stuff. Nothing. Kinda surprised me. I also read somewhere that model rocketry was a big thing in the DDR (East Germany) but my colleagues here don't know anything about it. They do like their trains though.

This may have already been covered, I couldn't find anything using the search, but does anyone have any poop on the upcoming quest 18mm D motors? Their website shows something that looks kind of like what may actually be AP instead of BP. Are they also German or maybe relabeled Aerotech...

Just watched the landing on CNN. It appears that Burt Rutan's team did it.

Folks, Here is the Video I shot on Saturday aroound noon at NSL 2004. It was pretty windy. About halfway into it, you can see the boost section under chute flying across teh screen just below the camera section. Enjoy! NSL 2004 Video

This Memorial day weekend we went to Austin TX to visit the in-laws. Just so happens I planned the trip to coincide with NSL 2004. I finally went into a Hobby Lobby today. Got an outlander for $10.99. Now if they only opened up some stores in Arizona. Of course upon returning to my...

I just heard from my in-laws in Austin that there was a Flood in Hearne Texas, the site of this year's NSL. An earthen Dam gave way and drained a lake into the town. I am going there anyway, but has anybody heard if it is cancelled, moved again, all clear? The NSL and NAR websited have no...

I got a few requests from another thread (can't remember which one) for me to post one of my onboard rocket videos. I did this on the cheap with a LOC Lil nuke. I replaced the body tube above the fincan with PML Quantum tube. The camera is an Intel Play Digital Movie Creator tht was taken out...

Anybody know what a Boxed Mercury Atlas kit is worth? Anybody built one? I'm thinking of buying one from a guy that has one. It's new in the box.
