Our boy scouts are using orange Chalk line powder to show up against gray sky. It is amazing how well it works. They fold about two heaping tablespoons of it into Estes wad paper and it is put in after they put in the regular number of sheets then the pack and then the parachute.

Ya Sandy, themed rockets only have a limited life launch time. Kinda hope this one will fade away in a month or two.

Also show lots of Cleavage !

I've had several CATO's with Estes engines of every size, B, C, D, and loads of E's. Here is a couple of recent 18mm sized engine CATO's.

My Tribute

Some of the guys in our Canada club take the booster motors and hammer out the engine compound, then use a mortar and pestle to crush it into fine powder, then use clear nail polish to "Wet" the crappy igniters and dip them into the powder and let them dry. They now have a great igniter and no...

Yup if hitting trees, or landing hard on gravel.

I made these and sell them to the guys in my club, and on eBay. Their made out of hard resin and are the same weight as the capsule and escape tower from Estes.

Look at this company in Europe, they use good reliable FUSE to launch rockets.

Estes igniters are the very best on the market today!

Every group has that one guy......

Engine was not on the top that was a fake casting to look like the German motor that powered the real one. My rocket engine was inside the main body. And no it never did fly right, even after adding clear plastic "Fins", it was just too unstable. I gave up on it. If you find a way to get this...

So true, both political parties lie and pretend to care about the citizens and the country but all they care about is getting richer. What we need to happen is the scenario of the TV show "Designated Survivor" to really clean out those SOB's.

You will find that $80 isn't much to even put two hours worth of investigative work on. No law Enforcement agency will waste valuable and now limited resources on such a low cost crime. I had $155. in credit card fraud, no police or FBI cared. Said it was too small to bother with. Had an...

Have launched 96 rockets with Estes "E" engines and have had several CATO's (12 out of 96). Also a few with "C" engines. I wish I had photo's of them all. Have had over a dozen rockets blown apart with "E"s and 4 with "C"S all engines bought from Hobby Lobby.

No not at all, the effort put forth to paint it shows that the builder is proud of it. Pink, green, primer only anything is something that shows at least they made an attempt to do a "Finish" to show it is Finished to all viewers. To my thinking an unpainted or undecorated rocket is like...

Even NASA and race cars are painted up to show the builders have pride in their build. IMO not painting is an insult to the designers.

Great paint job and design features. Love to see fully decked out rockets hate seeing them bare in the raw, just shows that the builder was lazy and doesn't have any pride in his project. You did one of the best jobs I've seen in a long time !
