You could buy a box fan (or find one at a garage sale) and 2 HVAC filters. 1 filter could be attached to a cutout in your plasticsheet paint booth. Then attach the other one to the fan and make that output to a window or door. clean air coming in. and somewhat clean air going out. still...

I got in contact with the members from LUNAR.org and was informed that because the launch site is an active runway, NASA Ames doesn't want an accident involving a tent blown away during winds which could damage aircraft and/or persons.

we tried to make them as sturdy as possible...

When I joined this forum Monday, I saw a post about the Estes Sale. I bought this stuff: Item Sku Qty Subtotal 003024 - Phoenix Bird™ 003024 1 $6.19 003026 - Photon Probe™ 003026 1...

Yup, we were there the 27th, just after 9am. Left around 11... We have a little tent like this I was thinking of bringing. Is this kind of thing allowed? https://images.costco-static.com/image/media/500-871412-847__1.jpg

Hi all, I recently took the family out for a first launch at Moffett Field (concrete airfield) last weekend, hosted by the LUNAR.org club. I didn't expect to see so many people out there. I wish I had prepared for what to bring as far as a field tools, chairs, shade. I didn't bring any of...

I was reading somewhere, about the streamer used to be twice as long as the the current version. Is there a way to know what a good length streamer should be for safe recovery?

I had initially bought a set of A8-3s, B4-4s and B6-4s. That was the progression to launch throughout the day. Maybe I'll save those B motors for the rockets I just bought from the Estes Sale.

Luckily I kept the tubes to push the ring up into the body. Removing the shock cord will be way easier than repainting.

Too bad I already tossed the A8-3 into the trash Saturday... Today is garbage pickup...:facepalm: Good to know this is repairable. I'll glue on the paper to reinforce the damage done. Is a 1/4" or 1/2" strip enough? Will this change how the rockets fly? heavy on one side... Should I add a...

Yah that what I thought it was. It was the inspector who added the tape to the nosecones, so I thought he would have known what he was doing. I wasn't sure how to pack the wadding. I crumbled it up and pushed 3 down the tube...

yup... I already bought some 6" chutes to replace them...

Thanks, but it was the girls who came up with the colors... I had my wife take the kids to joanns or micheals and they chose the paint/colors they wanted... each could choose up to 2 colors. Bright Orange was one of the 4 year old and the pink/Silver was the other 4 year old. The 8 year old...

Here are the pics... The orange one suffered the most damage where the tube opened up at the seams. You can see where the super glue was applied. The other 2 show where the cracks happened but did not open up. Fin damages are at the corners, not too bad.

Thanks for the replys... I'll get some pictures up of the damage when I get home. The damage to fins I have no problems with. I know it was gonna get dinged to those parts. I am more worried about the rocket blowing up in the next launches and it will look like a streamer coming down. I didn't...

Hi All, Just found this forum and I have a couple of questions. I bought for 3 Estes Wizard rocket kits for my 3 daughters (ages 8, twins 4). We built all 3 a few months back and had our first launch 2 days ago (Saturday). We weren't really prepared for what to bring other than rockets...
