I am not strong on spreadsheet skills- and I see lots of references to folks here updating their inventory spreadsheets from time to time- Does anyone have a template they care to share, or tips/advice on a decent spreadsheet structure to track rocketry related inventory, from kits built and not...

I ordered an Apanina from Cape Byron Rocketry sort of publicly on the What did you do rocket wise today? thread, so I feel I should share the build. The shipping packaging held up, but was slightly crushed, although well protected with plastic wrap. No damage to anything in the box, the quality...

King Dragon is making small carbon fiber rockets, so I thought I would build one. This is the Star Explorer, parts washed, then scuffed and scratched, i.e. prepped for epoxy. I used Rocketpoxy, with a few drops of black dye, an old screw eye out of my repair pile and the fin guide also from King...

This kit is just too cool to not do a build thread. The Tomcat is a swing-wing design that uses glide recovery in a rather unique deployment method. There is a valve that when it vents the ejection charge it releases the wings allowing them to swing open. The kit comes in a nicely packaged...

I wanted to order a Zephyr sometime last year, but the day I checked it was out of stock. I wound up ordering a Peregrine instead, because why not. I have since seen several folks build and post photos of their Zephyrs, so I feel it's time for a Peregrine Build. Tim's kits are always a pleasure...

I've been meaning to ask for opinions on optimal locations in the US for model rocketry, LPR through HPR. I recently became a remote worker, and all of a sudden can entertain relocating. Is there an ideal state for this hobby based on weather allowing more launches per year? More land/launch...

First of all I want to thank Les for his build thread. He pointed out a few things that will help me do a better build. Also thanks to everyone who replied to my recovery thread, got lots of information and ideas from it. The kit was unboxed a while back, and all parts washed. After some good...

I am here asking about techniques to finish my carbon fiber fins for the Wildman Andromeda. I have zero experience working with the material and thought this was a good opportunity to gain some. After receiving the kit, I see some rough fraying around the edges and where the slots are cut. As...

As a proud owner of a new Wildman 3X Andromeda kit, I am now faced with how to do the recovery. The up part should be pretty simple with a 54mm inner/main tube that can handle a wide range of motors. My question is how would you do recovery? Traditional dual deploy with drogue at the tube...

The Astron Andromeda Repro kit from MoreRockets build thread is more a "reference" as I have the Andromeda by Wildman on order. 😁

I've been wanting to do a build thread, if for no reason other than to better document my build process. Any feedback for improvements I get will be icing on the cake. I happened to be in Colorado Springs last year on my trip to launch rockets for my niece in Oklahoma who has CP (sorry, not her...
