I have a small issue with PayPal on Canadian orders. While I am happy to ship orders to Canada PayPal has decided to double the shipping to Canada. :confused: I haven't figured out how to fix it properly so all Canadian orders will receive a $7.00 shipping refund. :o Since I average...

I have a customer requesting a "fake" carbon fiber or carbon fiber "look a like" nose cone. He suggested adding graphite powder to the epoxy when I cover the foam core with light glass cloth. This is a small project, only a 20mm nose cone. Has anyone tried this? Would it work or just...

I am not happy with all the arbitrary changes to Yahoo email. I can't do anything to change it back. Most of the changes have made it almost impossible to keep track of quotes I have to get to and quotes I have to reply to. I can't even tell which emails I've already replied to! If...

If anyone is waiting for a reply about a decal or nose cone from an email they sent me in the last day or two wel,l I'm sorry, but Yahoo does not seem to be working for me. I can see my emails but whenever I try to click on "reply" it just seems to send me back to my inbox. I get "Smart...

Due to the unbelievable arctic cold hitting Michigan this week I just cannot work out in my shop. My two space heater just can't keep up. All custom nose cone orders will be delayed until it warms up just a bit. At least into double figures.:wink: I can work at 25 degrees but 4 just...

This is what is left from my purchase of the Commonwealth Display inventory. Help me get rid of the rest! I HAVE BOXES AND BOXES ALL OVER MY FREAKIN' BASEMENT!!! The sale will last for 2 more weeks. These are unbeatable prices! If you can find it cheaper I'll beat it...I promise. PLUS!! a...

I've received a request for a set of Estes Silver Comet decals in waterslide. I built a Silver Comet, modified to suit my desire but I was very disappointed in the "stickers". They aren't stretchy enough to conform to compound curves especially around the nose cone windshield. I have...

Bear with me, this may be long and drawn out but what the heck, this is a hobby and you guys don't have anything better to do so read on. Between the decals and custom orders I seem to have lost a bit of creative urge with my rocketry hobby. I need to renew and restore that before I'm...

Just came up with something playing with small pieces of wood on my lathe. Here are the parts spread out and the second pic is the nose cone drilled for nose weight. That's the nose cone plug in the background.

This is how it's made.

Some of you may have noticed that all of the quantities for the Estes kits on my web site have been adjusted to zero (0). This is 'cause I brought them all to NARAM with me and I didn't want confusion if they were ordered while I was at NARAM. I'm back now but I have to do an inventory...

If you will notice on my web site all of the Estes kit quantities are now at zero. No, I'm not out of them. They are all packed up for NARAM 54 and will be on sale at my booth at deep deep discount prices. What's left after NARAM will go back on my web site.

OK, I'm not happy about making decals for a model that should have come with them. But I just completed the Leviathan set. I hate the green and so does my Alps printer (green can come out "fiuky")!!! Email me if you want a different color, red would be good.

Thanks to member Gus who was kind enough to lend me a large collection of OOP decals both Centuri and Estes I've added a bunch more new decal sets to my web site. Including 3 of the Centuri Stellar series. I have a whole bunch of Estes and Fliskits left too...some SEMROC all at deep discount...

With all the trouble, LEUP and stuff involved with black powder being used for chute ejection, has anybody tried to use a black powder rocket motor like an A10-0 in an enclosed space to use as an ejection charge for say a large parachute? Say, inside a pvc canister. I'm not a high power guy...

Please note that I may be shutting down my decal printing operation as Alps white ink is now on BACKORDER! Note that almost all decals the have white or any color need white as an undercoat. This could be serious and I will post on my web site any further development.

Nothing at all to do with rockets but. I need a tiny bit of help with a small roofing question but I'm kind of on a deadline. I have the roofers coming out to my house to replace my roof down to the sheathing and I'm finishing a tiny dormer over my back door that needs to be completed before...
