    NC Triad Hobby Store?

    There is a Hobby store right off 85 in Archdale. Stopped in with a friend once. Its 90% devoted to model aviation but had a rocketry section at that time. Its been several years since I've been so I'm not sure how big the rocketry section is now. KC Hobby

    Questions about Printers.

    3 years ago I purchased a universal inkjet refill kit from Costco. I have now been using the same cartridge in my HP inkjet for 3 years with thousands of pages printed. The best 30 bucks I ever spent.

    CYCLONE Mapleseed Recovery Rocket

    We have a guy in our club that upscaled to 29 mm 4ft tall version. He has not had the best luck with the launches. It did work once but he has had issues with stress on the larger maple seed blade during lift off.

    CYCLONE Mapleseed Recovery Rocket

    This of course is one of my favorite rockets of all time. I have built 6 so far. These perform exceptionally and I have lost several of these models on windier days. I now paint mine bright orange.

    Carded Downsize Estes PATRIOT

    I love the Gyroc and fly mine regularly. There may be too much tension in the elastic or rubber bands or the motor Tabs may be slightly worn back. Do a shake test before launch - shake the Gyroc to see if the tabs hold.
