How does everyone store their chutes between launches small and big, as in five to six foot diameter?

https://www.estesrockets.com/rockets/pro-series/rockets/builder-kits/009701-ventris-ps-rocket In general, I am not overly impressed with Estes models they are marketing today. But the Ventris caught my eye at a Hobby Lobby visit and with a 40% off coupon, I purchased it. Even though I have...

This is really a multi-level question... First for existing built rockets I have several that have very tight MMTs. I have difficulty getting Estes BP engines in them to the point where I feel I am going to damage the rocket, any suggestions on how to deal with this? Some are 18mm...

I was thinking about this last night, maybe it was the fumes from the glue and paint, or maybe the single malt scotch. Has anyone every gone supersonic on BP motors? I can think of a bunch of reasons why it would not work. Exhaust gas velocity too low, etc. Just curious... Hmmm, I think I...

How many of you use air brushes to paint your rockets and other models, flying and non-flying? What paints/techniques do you recommend? I dug my old ones out and added a few and will be starting to use them more with my modeling. Thanks,

So I am looking for some of my Organic Chemistry texts and references as I am working on a project for work. And I run across a box of books labelled unread books, some in the box I have actually read thou... I find my copy of Lost Moon by Jim Lovell and autographed by him to me. Back...

Seize the Sky - A Builder's Guide to Model Rocketry Authored by Mario Perdue Who has this book? What do you think of it?

I have been looking at maybe purchasing a few of these, in particular the E6 and F10 versions. I like the idea of the long burn and would like to see how they perform in some of my rockets. What are your experiences with them and are they worth the $$$? TIA,
