Hi Rich, I'll have to check on the 71 nc, I know I have seen a source in the past. I can't speak for David at Sirius but I'm pretty sure he would do a batch if there is enough demand. He took over Moldin Oldies from Mike Schmidt several years ago and can make anything he can get an original for...

You know, even if you only have one, and especially if you only get 1, why not clone it? It's easy enough with the instructions and parts right there for a template. You can even get the nc and tail cones from David at Sirius...

If you're buying more than one CLUSTER one of them, it's easy! Build it stock then all you need are a couple of engine blocks, a little additional weight for the nose and enlarge the tail cones slightly. Leave enough sticking out of the tail cones you can get spent engines out, about 1/4". I...

If someone has said I missed it, but has there been any indication about the rest of the launch? Since other rockets had landed down range was the accident rocket the ONLY rocket designed to crash or was the entire launch about crashing rockets? It just seems odd to me that they would be...

All very intersting! As an amateur astronomer myself, I think I like the star photos best, especially the Trifid! We have a Meade 6" reflector that weighs like 100 pounds that we drag outside when we have time. Most recently the conjunction of Venus and Saturn was very nice. We live on a...

You're right Charles, it would be a heavy nc but that's a trade off too. I've done several mods like that and they all have heavy nc's. Using a nylon chute would be good and that also adds a little weight. I'd also go with a 4', 3/16ths rod if you cluster it. Since it's a clone, maybe you can...

One of my all time favorites and yours looks great! And I also suggest clustering it! Verna www.vernarockets.com https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HHJHOK6/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00O14ET8K/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 https://www.facebook.com/RocketBabeDustStorm

People are always harping on the code; as Jack Sparrow says, we tend to think of the code more as a set of guidelines. Cluster it and push the button!!! Verna www.vernarockets.com https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HHJHOK6/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20...

Good luck! Are there any engines stored in the car? Verna www.vernarockets.com https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HHJHOK6/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00O14ET8K/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 https://www.facebook.com/RocketBabeDustStorm

Sorry to hear you've had trouble with the decals. I've been using Tango Papa for a long time and have several back up sheets for various kits that are about 10 years old. After reading your post I decided to see if they were still good so I cut a small test piece from each and had no problem...

Still sealed in plastic, in mint condition, I'd say it's worth $100-$125. To me it is by far the best build of any Saturn Estes ever released. If you build it, cluster it! I would. :D Verna www.vernarockets.com https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HHJHOK6/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20...

We've known Pete Barrett for a long time and I can tell you that if he is involved, it will be a first class event. I wish we could attend. Verna www.vernarockets.com https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HHJHOK6/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20...

They look to be in great shape! Cox had the best wadding. Little round pads like Stridex but they were about 3 times as thick. Verna www.vernarockets.com https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HHJHOK6/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00O14ET8K/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20...

It's small, high power. I love all sizes from mini to NASA size, but I have many reasons as to why midpower is my favorite. Most of them have already been listed. Verna www.vernarockets.com https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HHJHOK6/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20...

Have you thought about clustering it? ;) Verna www.vernarockets.com https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HHJHOK6/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00O14ET8K/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 https://www.facebook.com/RocketBabeDustStorm

To date the oldest kit I've built is a BSG Viper circa 1978-79 that I used to clone 9 more. Still have 2 in mint condition that will most likely be opened and built by grandkids at some point. While I have a sunstantial collection of OLD and discontinued kits I'm not concerned about their dollar...

>so i'm thinking maybe this wasn't enough juice... any ideas on what i should use instead? Sounds like you just need a little more power. You'll get lots of good advice here on several options but per your set up description, you're looking for the simplest, least expensive set up possible...
