    Not all 20 mm rails are real “80/20” rails and may not work for mini buttons.

    I went to Lowes and bought size #8 nylon washers, should be good to go.

    I saw a set of plans laying on a desk at eRockets one night couple of years ago and then found out they had the fins already cut, so I bought the parts and built one. Went with a military paint scheme but never got around to applying more than a couple of decals. The cockpit is hand carved...

    Testors color shift

    Was just at the local Hobby Lobby and they've done a shelf reset. Appears the space has been made smaller and nothing new will be added.

    Recently had a E9 cato, got same message about E9's being out of production. They asked me is the rocket was repairable (which I said it could) and haven't heard anything since.
