    Drag

    Just wondering, is anyone here involved in drag racing? My wife used to race a mustang in the mid-9's and we just went to the NHRA Nationals at Maple Grove over the weekend (although Sunday didn't make it past round 1 due to rain). We are talking now about starting to work with our little one...

    Estes- EPM-010 (#7216) Gallery

    My Estes EPM-010. Kit is build per spec other than use of a kevlar recovery harness tied to the motor mount. This was a quick but fun build.

    Open Rocket Issue

    I am having an interesting issue with Open Rocket. I have attached two files. Both are exactly the same other than one contains no drogue and no event until the main deploys at 600' and the other contains a 70"x5" streamer deploying at apogee as well as the main at 600'. Without the apogee event...

    Learning R/C

    As a kid I always wanted a R/C RBG. It was likely a good thing that I never got one as I certainly would have crashed it. With that said, I am starting to consider going that direction but realize that it is likely a good idea to get proficient in R/C aircraft in general before dealing with...

    Altimeter Options

    I need to pick up a new dual-deploy altimeter and I am weighing out options Vs price... I have pretty much narrowed it down to three altimeters: The Adept 22, Raven 3, or TeleMini. Here is what I have worked out so far: Adept 22 - Dirt cheap at $29. Provides both max altitude recording as...

    I was unable to find an existing thread for this. The Estes Mini Meanie. This is about as close as Estes got to a PMC flier.

    Wife is on board...

    This could be the start of something dangerous. I had to go to the LHS last night to grab some aluminum tube to build a swap-able sled for my Wildman Warrior and I had the wife and my youngest with me. She always busts on my finishing skills (well deserved) saying that she could do a better job...

    Big Daddy Build

    We are having some work done on the house so I had to take a half day from work to be here while they were working. Picked up an Estes Big Daddy kit on the way home. I was never that attracted to this kit until I saw it in it's "old school" paint scheme (more on that later). This was a pretty...

    Estes Twister (Tornado) Build

    Will be building this either tonight or tomorrow night. I was helping my brother-in-law move when he pulled a box out of the bottom of his closet and said, hey you are into rocket stuff, here you go... It was an old school range box from an Alpha starter set that contained two launch pads, two...

    Cut Glass Tube

    I am planning my next large project (finishing my shopping list) to be able to get 99% of everything in two orders. The build will be a Darkstar 4" DD but I want to use a switch band (not included in the kit). Before I email Tim to ask if he can just sell me one for it, I figure that I could...

    Estes Pro Series Pad

    Searched for another thread on this but didn't see any... Has anyone seen the new Estes Pro Series Pad? They got one in at my LHS and I must say that I am amazed. $10 worth of parts (some lightweight PVC pipe, a PVC joint, rod, deflector) for $79.00. I hope no one actually buys one of these...
