I looked over the list of TRF supporting membership benefits, and would like to suggest a couple of additional benefits. The current benefits are outlined as follows: "For only $2.99/month, $19.95/year or $100/Lifetime you gain the following benefits to your Membership here at RocketryForum...

Our old $5 bill had a space theme too -- the profile of Sir Wilfred Laurier showed him with a Vulcan looking ear.:D

Don't be silly; a true Canadian would be suspicious of any sign that wasn't bilingual.:D

Shhhh! I know that we're supposed to stay away from politics on this forum; but I think that mention should be made of a new Estes E2X rocket, the Orange Crush! Left-of-center social democrat rocketeers here in Canada might be interested in checking out...

Recently there have been a number of incidents of quad-copters being used to smuggle contraband tobacco and drugs into Canadian prisons. Methinkst that it will only be a matter of time before attempts at "model rocket smuggling" will be reported in the news. When that time comes, be sure that...

That's a wonderful gift! Hope you enjoy many hours of paging through the memories! It's interesting to compare the catalogues of yesteryear with those of today. Back then, the pages were filled with all kinds of exciting descriptions of the rockets and a wealth of construction and technical...

Yeah, sorry about that Shrox. But we'd be willing to take Celine back as a gesture of good will.:)

I just popped by for a visit and didn't bother to log in. Imagine my surprise -- and displeasure -- to find that one of my posts featured an ad for an alcoholic beverage. This might not be an issue for some on this forum, and that's OK; but as I'm a tea-totalling "professional Baptist" I was a...

Gotta say, today's gold medal game in women's ice hockey between Canada and the US was a real nail biter, especially with the US ahead for so long. Both teams should be super proud of their efforts, and Team USA coach Katey Stone was a real class act clapping for Canada's first come-from-behind...

Funny that. 2014 marks the 200th anniversary of the cessation of hostilities between our two great countries (except in Olympic hockey arenas of course!), and yet we still can't take advantage of those great Estes sales. No matter. Just about anything that Estes sells that is really worth having...

Think of it as MMA on skates. With sticks!!

The rotary selector switch was also featured in Estes publications such as "Model Rocket Launch Systems". I don't recall if it was specifically offered in an Estes catalogue or not; but "back in the day" I know it was available from Radio Shack. While "drag racing" with it would indeed require a...

LOL!! I suspect that on that basis alone Angelo has us all beat; but let the merriment continue.

Please note that due to circumstances beyond our control (specifically the scheduling of Olympic events such as women's & men's hockey games during North American business hours), many of the 35.2 million Canadians could be out of touch for the next few days. We deeply regret and sincerely...

I personally prefer the "head to right" tilt so that the text is read from "top-to-bottom". This follows with the way that we would read vertically oriented text on a rocket. As has already been noted, this top-to-bottom convention is used in North America on the spines of various media --...

Amazing work! Congratulations on a very impressive build!!:handshake:

I was born and raised in the Ottawa Valley (in Ontario Canada) which was known for having a distinctive dialect ("twang") and a number of unusual expressions, the most famous of which is likely "Gidday gidday!" Some of these expressions were also used in the counties of Bruce & Grey where I now...

I used to snack on Milk Bones as a kid. That was before I was smart enough to know what went into them; but I must admit, they did taste pretty good. Woof!

What is the mark of a truly Canadian rocketeer? What sets us apart from everyone else on the planet? I have a few ideas to share, and I'd be interested in reading what you have to say. For example: 1. You always carry Canadian Tire money with you so that you can buy essentials such as snap...
