    Rookie HPR mistakes

    Strongest epoxies

    I've had Rocketpoxy and AeroPoxy last a while (sealed, cool, dry, dark space). Just an experience... I stayed away from DP460 due to what i have seen at work while performing composite repair.

    I've stayed with the single-use (AT), though i have reload hardware for both AT and CTI. A little more expensive (sometimes), but have had good luck with them. It's still up to you though. Both are still decent options.. fm

    Found And another longshot for Nike Ajax

    it was one of those... Nothing to do and the base is not letting retirees in the exchange (after a 3 hour drive to get there) except on tues/thur/Sat... So may as well find a hobby shop and buy something to occupy my time for the next 2 weeks... Only to find the hobby shop is suffering from...

    where'd you source the 1/64" sheets? I had one that still had stock available but the quality was far south of being good for anything other than internal use... thanks in advance fm

    Vintage build: Empire Rockets Nike Ajax

    When you were doing the conduits for your TLP, what shape (and technique) did you get them too? Just curious; thought the 3/8" material was a little big... Thanks fm

    Homemade recovery wadding?

    Vintage build: Empire Rockets Nike Ajax

    it ended up just north of 153$ I think... Aaaaaaand I missed it. I'll build the TLP and RW kits I have, then work on a small HPR and an Estes clone if time allows (probably not, but who knows) Thanks for posting all of this Nike Ajax goodness though! fm
