+1 on this. Also nitrocellulose lacquer (think guitar making) Cheers, Mark

I've only done this once so I'm in the same boat. 1. Yes, overshrunk on one end. 2. I didn't squeegee the resin out and got a nice smooth finish under the heatshrink albeit with a few pockmarks (ie bubbles) that will be easily filled. The end that missed the shrink I'll just bog up. Cheers, Mark

Buy local. Can't beat 'em. Cheers, Mark

Great stuff, Cris. And, yes, I don't need to top up my build pile but it looks like I'm gunna have to. Cheers, Mark

Forget JST and go Doghouse from Binder Design. Much easier to work with. I've converted all my batteries / AV bays to these. Cheers, Mark

Different sized thrust rings on different manufacture motors. +1 Cheers

Easy peasy soldering nichrome. Just use a flux similar to Baker Soldering Fluid. There must be a similar product over there. And I use the bridgewire igniter guide.

Rocketman has these as well. Cheers, Mark

You call this living? :)

Built it, flew it, crashed it, binned it, moved on. Unfortunately I have another one waiting in the wings. Anyone want it...? Cheers

Many thanks for taking this on, Tim. Will be the best thing kit wise for the hobby in a long time.

1975 Datsun 180B SSS. 1800cc 4 cylinder. Twin SU carbys. A cack load of fun. Revered by the local rallying community around the Brindabellas here. Didn't have a straight panel on it when I sold it :) Stock photo but almost the same colour. Cheers

Hi Scott, Any chance of plain tubes (no fin slots) with the dimensions necessary to cut them? Thinking of glassing the tubes here and glassing over slots is a pita. Cheers, Mark

Welcome Murphdog from Canberra Rocketry Group. And, yes, VRA is the way to go down there. Cheers, Mark.

Very similar to the Semroc SLS Laser-X (now OOP apparently) swappable MMT's. (29mm, 2 x 24mm, 4 x 18mm) Cheers, Mark

Heathen! :) Cheers, Mark

You can also have a piece of material same dia as the pull pin resting inside the switch slide. Have an exit hole this can be pushed through. Do all the prep and connections and button up. Push the spare rod out with your pull pin and bob's yer uncle. Cheers

I've used treated undies as a drogue in a 54md. It's what's called "hanging out the washing" :) Cheers, Mark
