    K'Tesh's OpenRocket Files...

    Okay, I'll have to look those guys up for decals when the time comes. Now I mainly just need the time to build another rocket, and I still have 3 on the bench that need to be painted and finished with decals, so this clone may have to wait a while? I've always thought it was a great looking...

    K'Tesh's OpenRocket Files...

    Thanks for the Patriot files, I remember that rocket from back in the '70s, my first time around the hobby as a kid, but never built one. So now that I've gotten back into it with my 9 year old son, I may have to clone this one? I suspect that getting those cool patriot decals may be the most...

    Estes Super Neon XL Build

    I was thinking about a cluster setup as well. I wonder if you put motor mounts in 3 of the 6 tubes if it would still be stable without more fins? Open Rocket doesn't have a tube fin option to simulate it first, but maybe someone has tried it in another simulator?

    Estes Super Neon XL Build

    I got a chance to fly the Super Neon XL yesterday and it really flies well without the balsa fins, it was very stable on the 2 launches I flew it yesterday, one D12-5 and one D15-7 reloadable composite. It definitely doesn't need the balsa fins for stability, and I think it has a cleaner look...

    Estes Super Neon XL Build

    Thanks for confirming what I suspected to be true, I'm looking forward to flying it in a couple weeks at our next club launch.

    Estes Super Neon XL Build

    I am currently putting together a Super Neon XL and do not plan on using the balsa fins, because I don't like the looks of the extra fins. Should I be concerned about stability problems without those extra fins? Or have any of you built and flown this rocket without the balsa fins? If so how...

    Red Arrow Hobbies - still in business or not?

    Update: I spoke with Dave on the phone on Fri and he said he would process my refund later that day, but that did not happen, and I'm not real surprised by that after learning from this thread. I'll call again tomorrow, and the next day, and the next... Or maybe I should just start a PayPal...

    Red Arrow Hobbies - still in business or not?

    Luke, I didn't take anything you posted as a poke at me, I was truly wowed by you showing me all the threads about Red Arrow Hobbies. I am new to this forum and have only dabbled with the search feature a couple times, and didn't really find it all that helpful, but I haven't explored the...

    Red Arrow Hobbies - still in business or not?

    Wow I guess I should've just poked around here a bit before starting a new thread, sorry about that, but I'm new here and failed to do my homework which probably would've made me re-consider placing an order in the first place. And just an update; I did finally get an e-mail reply that said...

    I guess that was only temporary, because I don't see it now?

    Red Arrow Hobbies - still in business or not?

    Thanks everyone for the information, it sounds like there's a big range of experiences here, some good, some bad. At this point I guess I'll plan on trying to call again on Monday and see if I can get in touch with Dave and figure things out? I'd prefer to work this out rather than having to...

    Red Arrow Hobbies - still in business or not?

    I'm just curious if anyone has had a bad experience recently with Red Arrow Hobbies? I placed an order back on Jan. 24th and have not seen or heard anything from them and I've tried sending a few follow up e-mails to them to ask the status of my order, but I have not heard anything back from...
