We all have a few dozen or so moments in our lives where the situation was so darn funny you had to pull your car over, you fell out of the chair laughing, or you got a serious belly ache from laughing so hard. Here's one of mine. One of the funniest things I ever saw happened around the mid...

Why haven’t I been posting build threads this winter??? Simply because I have done nothing in the shop since early to mid September. Yup, my mojo flew completely out the window. Had an accident on Sept 1st that put me in the hospital, and a few weeks later I came down with some god-awful 10 day...

You like fruitcake? This is the thread for you. Place your vote. (this is an effort to clean up the LOL thread) Personally I loathe fruitcake. It pretty. And it's pretty disgusting.

I'm no Steampunker by a long shot, nor do I personally have any ambition to build this particular design, but I thought one of you might. I saw this pic in a Netflix movie and it caught my eye. I did a "print screen" and took a close up look to see what it was. Then I did a Google search for it...

And no, it's not a rocket powered fish....ha ha! It's old tech that I am still using and I want to expand the use of it. I need the little Transmitter / Receiver (hopefully with the AC adapter) so I can send music to more than just one unit in my house. If anybody has one stuffed away somewhere...

I put off posting this because I thought I had a lead on some scrap tube. Apparently it's longer a viable lead so I am searching here. All I need is about a 6-7" cutoff someone might have laying around collecting dust. I really don't want a full size tube because then I'LL have some laying...

And a couple newbies from late last summer. This years line up of new models has 2 kits involved. Hey! I have permission to do a kit if I want to.....SO From left to right there is Mystic Djinn. A BT 60 size model with 24mm motor mount. Next we have the twins. The little one is the Orbital...

I recently built a clone of a rocket designed by Estesbasher which was basically a Big Daddy nose cone, a short piece of airfrme with some slick looking fins. My version was a downscale to a PNC 80 K. I got the chance to fly it over the weekend and the performance was so good, it inspired me to...

In the intro, does that look like an Astron Drifter being put on a launch pad?

Haven't seen this posted before so I don't know if they made the rounds or not. My daughter and her family are in Legoland FL this week and has been sending me loads of pictures. Today I got these purely for my own interest. It's part of a larger section of the park called Miniland. Enjoy.

You've had em. That day when the light in you head came on and suddenly you thought, or said to yourself, "Why have I been doing it like this for so long, when I could have been doing it like that?" Much younger than now, I fussed over why my fins were never really straight and my rockets...

Well who’d have thunk! Two build threads going on at once. My other build is going through uninteresting phases at the moment and I got to a stopping point on some other rockets I had on the bench, so….. There’s a lot of chatter going on about how little there is on LPR build threads lately, so...

I found this in an image search and the only thing I know about it is, it was in the "What did you do rocket wise today" thread. Problem was, I wasn't directed straight to where it was in the thread when I clicked on it. We all know how long that thing is, so if anybody can identify it and or...

I was hoping somebody out there might recognize this. Recently, This little pop up started appearing on my desktop when I boot up my computer. I don't recognize it and have no idea where it came from. I have 2 virus proggys and neither of them picked up on it. I keep clicking the "NO" option and...

This thread is about the models you refuse to give up on. No matter how bad the crash, you find yourself repairing or rebuilding them. Granted, half of my fleet has sustained some kind of damage in a number of ways, and not necessarily from flying or landing badly. The 3 models I present are 1 I...

Dang! My inbox just spat out 15-20 emails I should have gotten a week ago. Thanks for unclogging the system ya'll!

I've tolerated the price increases at Sirius /XM for long enough. Just got another notice today. That said, I've sorta been looking at investing in a Wifi Radio and I'll admit, the only one I really looked at was the Aluratek models. From what I have read, these radios only work with mainstream...

Even though I'm a bit new to using this stuff for making nose cones, I am no stranger to the outcome of gluing it together. Many adhesives have a tendency to leave wafers of adhesive protruding from the foam after you turn it on a lathe and start sanding it down. This is my downside to using...

Can't believe I hadn't thought of this already. Since I really have to use a land line, and am subject to repeated calls from Telemarketers and scammers, I had a bit of a brainstorm. Being the pack-rat that I am, had me digging through a box of old electrical and electronic devices to get one...

For the last 20 or so years, I have refused to cook what our family considered traditional Christmas dinner. It was usually a remake of what we ate at Thanksgiving and I got tired of that instant replay every year. My older brother still cooks this way but fortunately, his Christmas dinner is...
