    Greetings from Louisville, Colorado

    Welcome Electroman. If I had a nickel... You don't come to one of our launches empty handed and expect to leave that way. You get an orphan from the lost rockets box and you jump right in ! ;)

    Lpr , but a heads up!

    Honestly at this point everybody's mileage varies. I fly alot of E12s with no problems so far. I also flew and loved the late lamented E9s which were discontinued. No one knows what tomorrow will bring. ;) Definitely try Quest motors 'cause Quest motors are cool. :) [edit] I know, I just...

    Perhaps. I feel like so many different date codes have been reported that they don't mean anything anymore. The way I read your post motors from the same pack acted very differently. Correct ?

    I'm guessing the wack on the head ain't for you. 😉 Nozzles letting go aren't the flyers fault.

    Vintage Estes Cougar and other builds

    What's the skinny on the Deft vs Minwax @SCIGS30 ? [edit] Sorry, completely ignored the text looking at all the pretty pictures. :oops: I tried Deft years ago and also found it wanting. Now the Minwax looks interesting based on your experience.

    Brush fire in Palm Bay’s ‘Compound’ was accidental, caused by rocketry enthusiasts, officials say

    Very interesting. Well my curiosity has been satisfied. I guess they'll see how well their organization handles any liability they might incur over this incident. Yessir. Our club has a couple a half dozen indian pumps. Don't leave home without 'um. A good rake is also useful for grass...

    Brush fire in Palm Bay’s ‘Compound’ was accidental, caused by rocketry enthusiasts, officials say

    Speculation here on the forum may be viewed as counterproductive. However I would like to know, club or club members gave advice ?, advice ignored ?, result was 40 acres burned ?

    Sold Lot For Sale $6800 firm

    @flyingeagle Congrats! Can you share any idea on what the buyer intends to do with this lot ? Will it start showing up on eBay or collect dust in another basement ?

    Ok... Future Floor Wax... What Is It Called Today?

    I 've got the Holloway product as well and used it on the Squirrel Works Tuber shown in my avatar picture. It dried clear but with subjectively less gloss finish. I'll continue with it because I like the easy application but I really miss (the) Future. 😢

    That 2020 DUNE film

    So yeah, no weirding modules in the book. I always thought that they were Lynch's idea to weaponize The Voice in a tangible way that would look good on screen. Better than trying to show the tedious hours/days/weeks/months of kung fu, muay thai, Brazilian jiu-jitsu training that Paul and...

    The clouds parted at my house. Divine Intervention! :) Our backyard solar-powered lights went on. Totality was beautiful.

    Hi from North Texas

    The intructions have the model number listed somewhere. [edit] Nevermind. Saw that you don't have the instructions handy.
