Not making a grandiose exit or anything, but shoot, advertisements just suck. Trying to read responses to one of the few threads that now interest me, I gotta wait for THIS crap to load... I understand that nothing is free nowadays, but I sure miss the older days of this forum. :(

So, a fun thing I tried that didn't NOT work... Devastated by the impending loss of Semroc, I ordered a bunch of their nose cones. The nose cones arrived 20 minutes after I ordered them which was actually a little slow for the Semroc crew. They were gorgeous as usual, and turned out of...

So I bought too many rockets from Estes during their first sale. My store needed some display models quickly, so I put these together Mon-Fri last week. The only one I felt "cheated" on was the Monarch. Nice model, but darn near impossible to make it look like the package (at least for a...

So... I got yet another email asking about this kit just before Thanksgiving. I felt guilty. As many of you know, I stopped producing my kits when the supply of decal paper changed from good to (in my opinion) terrible. The paper had not enough glue and would "silver" even when applied to a...

Yeah, yeah. I'm posting in the watering hole, but this was fun. I built a "UFO rig" to be carried by my quad copter in hopes that it would freak people out. Well, it did :grin: . Thanks for the video work kjohnson!!!

When I started looking for early pictures of this build I had no clue as to how long it had been since I started this project... 2005! Well, it started with a Squirrel Works Red Baron that I made some custom decals for and did up like a Red Max.

This is just a quick "built" thread of this model that I started about 2 years ago. It is yet another 3FNC so I didn't feel a long, drawn out build thread was needed. I started thinking about the build after I worked on relighting my friend's Star Trek filming models with LED strips rather...

I attended the 2013 NRHSA show in Las Vegas a couple of days ago... I saw this. I was a little horrified.

I finished my 2.2 R/C upscale of this little boost glider. https://plans.rocketshoppe.com/narcomp/Jet-Freak.pdf

Wow… This is a build thread 30 years in the making. Back in the early 80’s when I was a somewhat new model rocket enthusiast, I was looking at a copy of Radio Controlled Modeler. American Hobby Center had an ad for a Mattel single channel radio control unit. My mind thought back to a year or...

I'm starting this thread for the Star Trek fans here:). Earlier this week I had the unique opportunity to do some interesting work on some one-of-a-kind models. A friend of mine who is a HUGE Trek Fan bought a bunch of models from Paramount when they had their Star Trek auction through...

Well, a few weeks ago I got the bug up my butt to build a new RC BG. My favorite one to date has been my 4” upscale Mach-10. While the model does not stay aloft more than a minute, it is still very fun to fly and attracts a lot of attention at every launch I take it to. The drawback is that...

One of my top 10 favorite models of all times:D. I know at least 5 of my friends have them, so lets see them!

Hi All, Just a quick note to all that have inquired about Rokitflite kits; All kits are currently on hold due to the fact that I have not been able to obtain decent decal paper. A little ways back I posted that I was having issues with decal paper. I have been buying decal paper from Tango...

OK, I have been buying decal paper from Tango Papa for 5 years or so now. The last batch I got was "defective" in that it had little to no glue. It would come off of the backing paper after 2 seconds in the water and "silver" even when applied to a sheet of smooth, clean glass. I contacted...

While at our warehouse today, the guy who processes our orders informed me that all of the Estes prices have gone up:mad:. It happens every year but damn, I wish they would skip it just once! :rolleyes:

To Great Planes. Thats all.

As I am sure many of the folks here will tell you; working for or even owning a model rocket company will not make you rich in most cases. But sometimes being an employee certainly has its benefits! FINALLY after several scrubbed attempts, Foosefest 2009 was a go and I got to test fire about...

I said by the end of the month, and I just made it! Both the Fake Wulf and Odyssey kits are finished and in stock! The Fake Wulf is still $28, $5 shipping, plus $2 shipping for each additional kit purchased. The Odyssey is $44, $7 shipping, plus $2 shipping for each additional kit...

Rokitflite kits that is... For those interested, I have made the new molds I needed and am in the process of casting the parts to get Odyssey and Fake Wulf kits together. I plan to have them done by the end of the month... Hopefully much sooner!
