    A shout to some great vendors

    I wanted to take this time and thank some vendors: SEMROC: Just recently I ordered a new balsa nose cone from SEMROC for my Bat Ray kit from Mad Cow because the one that came with was messed up (out of round). When I received the nose cone it was well packaged and bagged. I was very impressed...

    how do you justify this hobby with your spouse?

    JR hits the nail on the head again! Absolutely couldn't agree with you more. All those hobbies you listed rack up the dollars especially classic cars. I had a couple early Camero's no where near car show quality, but they were clean and nice. Just maintaining them cost money. I was always...

    Lining airframe with aluminum

    ok I just need to line a portion of my BT-80 airframe with foil tube. Maybe home depot might have something like that?

    Lining airframe with aluminum

    Let me explain. I need the BT-80 airframe lined with a piece of aluminum. The engines will be back about 3" from the end of the airframe.

    Lining airframe with aluminum

    Has anyone tried lining an airframe with aluminum. One of my scratch builds I'm thinking about building has the motors set back in the airframe and rather than using a tube coupler and epoxy to protect the airframe I want to try something different and use aluminum tubing/foil. I was thinking...

    how do you justify this hobby with your spouse?

    Building and collecting rockets wasn't the problem I had...it was collecting those bright orange road cones and clown shoes that just pissed her off!

    Unless you plan on keeping your bird caged up and not flying it I wouldn't sweat it. After a flew flights it'll get some flight damage. Have fun and make OREO day
