How an AIM 9 missle works. My favorite line - "I got me some missle parts!"

Not too many videos make me sweat.... but somehow this one does...

How about "Never hit your grandma with a great big stick?" ... "Naw Dud, that un makes me cry!"

"I was born with nothing, ...and I still have most of it."

Yes! - Now that you mention it, I now do remember the Monogram Red Baron t-bucket hot rod, and the '60's hippies/surfer/biker culture use of that "barron helmet". And the "comic villian" concept makes sense to me, too. That's what I like about TRF members - together, we can fill in those...

So, is the skull on the Estes Red Max is associated with “The Red Barron” WWI fighter ace, as Antares implied (above)? [I think not.] All this being said, I did impulsively buy a Der Big Red Max kit when it dipped to $21. It’s sittin’ on the build pile. I may not use the decals/paint scheme...

Nope. Know your history... https://www.adl.org/resources/hate-symbol/totenkopf

The Der Red Max has been around for ever. As someone said above - modeler like modeling stuff from other regimes, even if it involves a Nazi regime. Just check out any radio controlled “warbird fly-in event” (or photo coverage online). You’ll see lots of models there from many countries.

Ha! One of the funniest. ;o0

If you'd like to see an interesting and funny commentary on the Rings of Power - look up "Gandalf Roasts" online. Gandalf himself (sorta) covers and comments on every episode, with the able assistance of Elrond and other Lord of the Rings characters. I've been chuckling to myself all day after...

Satisfactory. MOST satisfactory.

Nevermind - I got it. I just had to change the order in which I added stuff. Except, I was not able to include the 2" of BT-20 in the transition area to the top of the booster engine. Good enough.

I have some kind of a "mental block" in learning the simplest things in CAD systems, including RockSim. [I learned designing/drafting with pencil, paper and a t-square in the middle of the last century]. :o| So I'm building a simple 24mm booster to attach to my slightly modified Estes...

“Good ol’ Malcom!”

Nice! What type of glue do you use to make your bass plywood?

An island is a perfect candidate for a smart grid application. Nice set up! I assume that the island is not connected to the grid on the mainland, correct?

It’s not a problem as much as it’s a feature! Where else can you get so much excitement and suspense?! ;o)

Got it. Thanks.
