We know you probably had a hand in this, Doug..... ;) https://finance.yahoo.com/real-estate/article/111921/tiny-apartment-is-made-with-25000-ping-pong-balls Later, EV

Also, the Sirius kit (BT-55 based) is larger than the Estes kit (BT-50). I did a "halfway-in-between" version where I just cloned an Estes Atlantis and changed the nose cone and engine pods; Original build thread; https://www.rocketryforumarchive.com/showthread.php?t=20850 Later...

With all the snow today, it was a perfect day to sit and watch football / build a rocket. Here's a fun kit-bash using only the parts from an Estes Renegade (old 2-stage version). Man, there's a ton of parts in these things! :D Overall; Close-up of the rear; Rear view...

So I was rummaging through the spare parts bin, trying to think up something to use up all these surplus A8-3 engines I have lying around? Why not some sort of cluster?. A couple of bulk kit Alpha body tubes, an extra Estes Nemesis fin sheet, and a few different kinds of nose cones and I have...

As someone could probably guess by my avatar, one of my favorite all-time desgins is the Centuri Satellite Killer. I've always loved the look of this saucer, and wanted to build it or clone it someday. After seeing the high prices of vintage kits, and not wanting to try and clone the...

Hey all, I've been working on a project (https://www.rocketryforum.com/showthread.php?t=9577), and as I'm doing the swing-testing and adding nose weight, I'm getting really close to 113g but not yet stable. According to the NAR website (https://www.nar.org/SandT/pdf/Estes/C6.pdf), that 113g...

Things just seem to be working lately. Here's one I've had noodling around for a while, and finally pulled the parts together for. The EVR Starcruiser Gryphon Later, EV

Well, had some time tonight to mess around with my new parts I got from Sirius Rocketry (https://www.rocketryforum.com/showthread.php?t=10828). I decided I'd start with the "Crusader Swing-Wing" nose cone. My original intent was to do a bigger version of an A-7 Corsair II after being...

First off, a big thanks to everyone who voted for me in last month's Best Rocket competition; https://www.rocketryforum.com/showthread.php?t=10220 As a prize, I was able to select $30 of stuff from Sirius Rocketry (https://www.siriusrocketry.com/sirius00.htm). Since I have a penchant for...

A couple years ago, I was fortunate enough to be one of the first to get a Fliskits Borealis kit. Unfortunately, those early kits had incorrect ring fins that Jim very graciously replaced. Not wanting to waste, I used those extra incorrect fins on a different design I christened the...

After looking through many threads and seeing a lot of your guys' really nice assembled rocket storage, I've always wanted to get my stuff organized. I wanted to do something that stores the rockets vertically, but I never really took the time to make something. Well, a little messing around...

From this thread (https://www.rocketryforum.com/showthread.php?t=9385), some folks have requested plans, so I figured I'd put 'em in here. Parts List: Part Name / Quantity / SEMROC Part Number PNC-55IR Plastic Nose Cone / 1 / BNC-55AO PNC-20Y Plastic Side Cones / 2 / BNC-20Y BT-55 Body...

Looking through my spare parts bin for something new to build, I came across what one might call an albatross. As most know, Estes loves to throw whatever they've got laying around into their nose cone multi-packs. So, for the longest time, I've had this sitting idle with no plan for its use...

Weather (and new house) not being condusive to painting, I found myself itching to do a scratch build this evening. Every so often, I like to meander around the internet and look at concept aircraft to get some ideas for rocket design. Here's one I've had my eye on for the past year or so...

Hey all, I haven't poked my head in here for a while, and just thought I'd say "hi" again. Been a crazy past 12 months with family stuff, as well as getting relocated to Michigan. Haven't really had the time (nor the inspiration) to work on anything for a while, but I had a day to myself...

Hey all, got transferred 6 months ago, moved 3 months ago, and finally got all of my rocket stuff unpacked. Been itching to build something lately, so I decided to try out a new rocket manufacturer, InFlight. I figured I'd go with something different, so I got their Sonic Shark kit. I...

Simple, but fun minimum diameter sport flier. My first-ever scratch build from 25+ years ago.... Later, EV

Here's another one; Make 2 main wings from this pattern. Make three tail fins from lower fin on this pattern. If you ask super-nicely, Carl at Semroc might still have the fin set in his computer. He made me a laser-cut set of the fins. On the pad at NSL 2007; Later, EV

Design adapted from a 80's RPG. Flies nicely on 13mm motors; One error - make 2 "bottom winglets" Later, EV

This month's theme for my club was the Estes 50th Anniversary, so I dusted off some moldy oldies, readied some others, and headed out to the range. This is my original Estes SDI Satellite. I built this kit when it first came out, but never got around to painting or finishing. Over the years...
