I ordered a bunch of rockets from Semroc around Christmas. When I received my order, there was a note from Sheryl. She had noticed that the balsa nose cone was dinged up in the Starfire package so she included a free undamaged nose cone as a replacement! I was quite surprised. The slightly...

That answered that question...you win! Darn work keeps getting in the way of my free time. I hope to be flying mine some time in April, if there are no burn bans here in South Texas. Since we have had no rain since about August, I have a bad feeling 2008 will not be a good launch year.

That would be me, I am glad you enjoyed it. Of course, I had to get one for myself, my first DD kit!! I wonder who will finish theirs first?!?!?

I received a Semroc Defender Space Probe from my SS. The glue is drying as I type this. Many thanks SS!!!!

My package was waiting for me at the post office when I returned from my trip!! Thanks!

My recipient has theirs!

One thing I have noticed (and correct me if I am wrong), is that the last three numbers of the UPC on Elmers products will give you a clue as to what you are buying. From their web site: 834 - FNF Light, 1/4 pint tub 835 - FNF Light, 1/2 pint tub 836 - FNF Light, 1 pint tub 837 - FNF...

Thanks for the info, I suspected as much. I have seen a few ruined paint jobs from mixing brands. I like the color selection HOK is offering in their hobby line, but hate to pay big bucks for base primers and base coats when there are cheaper alternatives. Might just have to stick with...

I was at a local Walmart in their rapidly dwindling hobby section (no rockets for sale). I noticed some new paints under the label "Kustom Kolor" from the folks who make "House of Kolor" paints. It appears to be a new line of hobby paints aimed at plastic modelers. There were 2 different...

This is for version 7. You need to run the COMPENG.EXE program located in the RockSim program directory. You should see all of your .eng files from your Data folder in the Available (left) window. Just select them all, or just the ones you want and click Add which moves them to the right...

The RockSim file is attached. Altitude figures (with no payload) using recommended motors are included in the launch simulations. Hope that helps!

Many Many thanks to my Secret Santa!!! Being 6 hours ahead of Eastern USA means I got to open my present while most of you had visions of sugar plums dancing in your heads! I received: An incredible framed aerial photo of Tapiado Hills SW, CA taken from a rocket A seamless Nose cone...

Got mine today, it is sitting under the tree. Must....resist....tempation.....to....open....

As of this morning, a tank of regular will cost you $5.72/gallon here in Germany, adjusted for the Euro to Dollar exchange rate. Fortunately, we can buy gas on post, that same tank costs me $2.56/gallon!

There are a couple t hings you can try. If you want to view the .tif file in the Explorer window, then the cheap and dirty fix is to load Quicktime from: https://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html Make sure you get the free version. Now, if you want to just open the file in the...

What did the elephant say when he saw a naked man? How do you breathe through that thing?

One thing that works for my micro models is ball point pen ink tubes. I keep old pens around that are pretty used up, the upper portion of the tube no longer has ink in it so I just cut off the length that I need. Works great as a launch lug. Just a thought...

I could not find anything in the Safety Code either. The only place I could find the rule Stymye quoted was in the Canada Model Rocket Sporting Code. As for the pink book, here is the text: "3.4 Stages There shall be no more than three consecutively fired stages. The staged configuration...
