10:30am I measured a tube to determine what nose cone to buy. Got distracted before I could even hit "search" and now its well passed midnight lol.

We use UberEats, Postmates, DoorDash, Instacart, and just about any other delivery service we can find lol. I do prefer direct delivery but very few restaurants and grocery stores offer that in my city. This goes back long before the pandemic. I just prefer to spend my time doing other things...

Now that I had a name to Google Im almost positive that you guys nailed it.

You might be on to something there.

I think I'm looking at a Taurus booster but what is up top?

Checked to see if the primer was dry enough to sand. It's not. That concluded the rocket portion of my day.

Disk and belt sanders are great but not currently an option.

I believe your always supposed to shave in the direction of the grain.

Square edges photograph better. I always round mine though.

Wondering how many prefer the use of a plane/shaper vs by hand. Do you have a preferred tool? I've seen the David Combi plane referenced several times on facebook. I do have an NCR shaping block for the edges.

Yes. Thanks it's always been a favorite of mine. Glad to finally be building one.

Somehow I got a 2nd day of rocket time in one week. I'm still not sure how it happened but I'll take it. I glued these 4 tubes together relying on the spacer to, umm, space them. I should have inserted the transition at the other end (like it is in the pic) because now it's a pretty snug fit...

Yup.

glued on a fin. 2nd one this week. This project is moving right along at Boeing speeds.

Haha!!! I don't know how many times I've said a rocket like this would be awesome. And it exists!!! I'm definitely throwing one on my next order.

Dont have it yet but NCR makes great quality kits. If you like it. Buy it.

My Boyce Aerospace kit calls for gel super glue. I'm sure it depends on what material it's printed with.

Hey the root filled idea is good! Dang it, we may have just talked me into this lol.

I'm still working full time and taking online courses but let's see... I have bt70, 24mm and 29mm motor tubes. I could make a bt70 motor mount with estes hooks and then use bt70 couplers to create the interchangeable drop in mounts. Looks like that would allow 1 29mm, 3 24mm, or an unknown...
