Circle Uranus and search for Klingons.

I may have gone to some back-water college, but I know chickens don't have fingers and buffalo don't have wings.

2nd day of epoxy for internal fillets. Madcow 2 1/2" fiberglass Nike Smoke. Yesterday, it was sketchy. It was ship in the bottle stuff glueing with honey, what a mess! I found a syringe from another model kit. It was hard to get the goo in the syringe, but it was workable. It got a couple...

BB XII is delayed while I assemble this new exciting rocket Yet another fitment check after freshly painting fins. First FG rocket, Madcow 2 1/2". 8 Not excited about paint job, but who cares, it will look great on the pad. G64 first flight, that's what I say.

Six Launches. Six recovered. Damage: Broken shroud line. Winds were a tick higher than usual. Reported to be 20 mph aloft. The JLCR was "in the shop." I didn't launch the altimeter least it should drift away. B6-4. Nike smoke. Nominal flight. Needs more gas AT E28-7T. SPEV 24 1200' sim...

No more dry fit mockup. Committed to actually gluing the pieces together. Better be right! Ought to be committed.

Yet another dry build of the Black Brant XII. It looks like a few of us are building these at this time.

What grit did you use? Were you satisfied with the results? Would you please post a picture of the cross-section.

We quit buying presents for each other years ago. I broke the rule this year under the auspices that the gift was for both of us. High-end spices (not the illegal kind). Both of us are pleased.

Strongest wind that I have experienced at this location. Even using a JLCR, I walked over 2 1/2 miles. Launched 4, 3 recovered. First was the "Bumblebee" - long 3" BMS School Rocket pictured. Used G53-6FJ (drilled). Nominal flight. Altimeter indicated 1330'. Love the black smoke. I tested...

I made this small pile of leaves using the hand tools pictured.

I decided to try and take care of the nose cone rattle today. Part of the bb/epoxy NC weight mass had broken away from the main part. Nothing like the present right? Just drill a hole and spray some foam insulation. Easy-Peasy. My experience with foam insulation so far is there's some open...

Good idea, Mr. Beans. An improvement on an already great product.

Anyone ever see one of these? What did you do to prevent it from happening again.

Post launch repair means it's time for Rocket Hospital. A place of contemplative recuperation.

George E. Tirebiter perhaps?

Some have a tail.

I use Kilz and like it. Better primer than Ace 2X pimer. The downside from good coverage is that it doesn't go far; so it's a bit pricey.

To add to the uncertainty, federal inspection for organic certification is understaffed (surprise,surprise). Allowing more room fraud and abuse. Sometimes States have more stringent criteria then Federal and are better staffed for organic certification and inspection. Know your farmer. Let...

These days the handles alone are worth a lot more than $3. Last time I bought Exacto blades, I paid $11 for 100. The package is about 1/2 gone.
