Glad to hear you're OK. Might take a few days for the stiffness to set in. The last major accident I was in occured when a teenage girl driving her boyfriend's beater car just took off from a stop sign and jumped right in front of me. Worse yet, her car had started to stall. So I'm doing the...

Here's a repair on a larger rocket that I did https://www.rocketryforum.com/showthread.php?t=26382&referrerid=5266 The general idea of cutting the old engine mount out should be similar.

I have 4 cameras outside of my house that I turn on whenever we go on vacation or during Halloween. We live in a nice neighborhood but there still are jerks around. If you call the cops on someone then you get the law. The law never gets involved when I have someone on my cameras- just justice.

Various sizes of aluminum angle for drawing on body tubes. Various micrometers and my short and tall height gauges for my FAI stuff where thicknesses and heights of finished tubes/fins/cones is critical. Dremel Moto-tool that seems to last forever except for the expensive bits. Art Rose fin jig...

Josh- what a great contribution to the knowledge of scale model building. Thanks for providing such detail on your site so that others may benefit. Cool.

The important thing is to eliminate any possibility of flex around the joint so whatever you use for filler doesn't get popped out. I've had good luck with using yellow glue for joint, then using CA soaked into the surrounding areas after the yellow glue dries. I then use FNF to fill the gap. Of...

It would be very difficult to fit the required hardware (rubber bands, rubber band brackets) on the small nose cone that would be required. Of course, you might be able to go super simple with some sort of blade that just maintains its own springyness by itself and just jam it in tube- something...

The income earned during the time period between black Friday and the end of the year is considered to all be profit. It's assumed that the money earned up until that point all gets spent on other costs. Obviously that's just a rough rule, but you get the idea.

I always do my FNF while the fins are still on the flat balsa sheet and do both sides at once. That allows the moisture to basically saturate the fin from both sides and it's sort of self regulating. If you do one side then let it dry then possibly the FNF sunk in more than half the fin...

You would think with the shipping restrictions on modroc motors that hobby shops would figure this out and use it to their advantage to be well stocked in order to compete with internet businesses. Greenfield News & Hobby in WI is about 90 miles north of me and one of the best hobby shops I've...

Thanks for your info Luke- I'm assuming that others run into the same problem unless they just happen to have that check box checked. Hopefully you can have center holes now! One other thing Tim mentioned is that for some users the centering ring hole won't print if white is the chosen fill...

I found a glitch in Rocksim and I'm wondering if anyone else has the same problem. My centering rings print out on the template without a center hole unless I choose "Automatically calculate known values" from the general tab on the component screen for each ring. The thing is, when I do check...

Some good quotes I found... "Time to rendezvous with that orbiting "Snap-on-Tools" truck!" "Well this is just great.... some aliens are going to find that bag just floating around in space and will get all our tool technology and use it to destroy us." "Well at least they didn't lock their...

I'm pretty sure that the first article I read about this situation also mentioned a prior screwup that this astronaut did. I don't remember the details now, but do remember that it was the second unfortunate situation she's had.

The best way is to use a serger to put a professional edge on it. Or, do a folded seam to keep the raw edge underneath. Otherwise, you can buy seam glue at the fabric store that can keep it from unraveling. Or, you can initially cut out your ripstop nylon with a hot knife like a soldering iron...

I have the Auto-Vac system from ACP and like it very much. I was going to build my own system from scratch but it's difficult buying some of the small parts online and getting everything to work together. I especially like the vacuum switch that automaticalliy turns the pump on and off as...

Is it in perhaps one of the supplements?

Some of us may need the boxer shorts with the CG symbol. :lol:

Here's what I did in Corel Draw- Draw any size circle Type 1.74” into the property box to get your diameter. Ctrl-D to duplicate Type 13.19” into the property box. Now you have your two concentric circles. Draw a vertical line up from the center of the circle by constraining it...
