    Mean Machine

    Just wanted to share a few pics of my newly completed MM. I built it stock except for a couple things, I put a small metal eye hook in the hard rib of the upper coupler before I glued the coupler in to attatch the kevlar cord to. Can't wait to fly this beast!

    Estes Fin Alignment Guide

    I just got one and am wondering what the purpose of wraping the tubes that hold the rocket body with tape? Oh, and notching out one end of the inside of the tubes? Doesnt make any sense to me.

    My Big Betty

    Just thought I'd show off my newly finished Big Betty. I wasn't really fond of the decals so I left them off. For my first build in over 20 years I think it turned out pretty good.

    A cool pink rocket

    I think we managed to make a pink rocket cool. My daughter wanted her Crossfire pink and I wanted it cool so this is what we came up with.
