    Rekindled Love of Rocketry

    I found this YOUTUBER who builds these rockets and flys them in the Mojave! She is some kind of engineer but knows her SH*T, more than me... I don't have the level of expertise or rocketry but at my level, the aerotech level I love it. We use to go to launches and hated my launch because...

    I think I always give it a primer coat before shooting acrylics!

    Airbrush vs. Rattlecans

    you would think that would be THE solution to this right, common sense-simple enough. I would have a layer krinkle using the same stuff. Actually, I am not here to bring anyone over to the dark side of airbrushing. What works for me may not work for anyone else, so people just have to use...

    Airbrush vs. Rattlecans

    All it will take to rattle you to start drinking again is to take the time to carefully build a rocket, then paint it. Decided to add another coat and the @#&&@*$”%*$&@ Krinkles the underlying coat ORnthe gloss coat krinkles all the coats you just put on and allowed to dry for a week. I suppose...

    Airbrush vs. Rattlecans

    Good morning. I stopped using rattle cans because of the ever present risk of krinkle. I think the problems i use to see was in the organic solvent On subsequent layers. Then, if you happened to use a different formulation or brand for the gloss coat it krinkles and you are screwed. i already...

    Jolly Logic Altimeter One Battery Service

    I recently got back into rocketry and my Vintage Alt One had a dead battery. I paid the $20. Sent it off, and got it back in 4 days, coast to coast. His products are sound, and he backs his service. He is not much for small talk anymore however.

    RMS 24/40 motor component seized

    SUCCESS! Heating with a hot gun and add8ng some penetrating oil, inside and out, and it finally broke free! I switched technique-i used pliers to hold, and the rubber lid opener thing from the kitchen to turn it. I could not find a small enough strap wrench but they did have a smallish one at...

    RMS 24/40 motor component seized

    I was able to remove the gold retainer and motor from the casing. The top of the motor is apparently seized and I scratched the some of the black anodize of with pliers... I am going to try some penetrating oil and heat the case up before I add the oil... Any ideas?

    A primer on Future Floor POLISH usage

    I sorta meant, has anyone come up with an alternative for this type of gloss coat or using something entirely different? I found it to be the absolute best **** out there at the time.

    A primer on Future Floor POLISH usage

    I am so spoiled after buying a nice airbrush that shoots a nice thin layer of this coat exactly where i want it. in 11 years, i now have to relearn everything from RMS motors, loading and safety, to using my airbrush. I have one rocket i need to finish, my cracked up Mustang I need to glue back...
