    Any guesses on new rockets in the 2023 catalog?

    27 rockets being discontinued says that they don't sell well, and that they are probably streamlining the product portfolio. IMHO, they had too much crap in the catalog for a long time. Too many same or similar rockets with different names and paint schemes, but effectively the same. Other...

    Trailer workshop ideas?

    Well, I graduated to a class A diesel pusher, so now, it seems, I can pull a trailer again...:rolleyes: Careful getting an RV, they become a new (and expensive) hobby.

    Controller stand (+ controller!)

    I use an old camera tripod. Drill and tap a 1/4-20 hole in the bottom of your controller and wa-la!

    Trailer workshop ideas?

    I was gonna make one out of an old tent trailer. Use the slide out beds for big rocket tables, put a rollaway tool box, work bench, and a rolling desk chair. Probably keep one side as a tent so I could bunk in it too. Bought the trailer, but then got a travel trailer and couldn't pull two, so...

    Nice use of industrial Terminal blocks. Those are great.

    Portable PA system

    We have an AV guy, Chad, in our group who built one in a rackmount roadie case. It has a Radio Shack Amplifier, wireless mic, and four large box speakers with stands. Recently I upgraded it with: Four Channel Wireless Mic system so LCO, RSO, and RSOB can all speak on it during operations and...

    What to do when your wife says no more rockets

    I have more shoes than she does, so I have been told. 6 pairs of old sneakers for painting and working on the motorhome don't count.

    Why are Boeing 737 engine intakes flattened along the bottom edge?

    The Classics are flat too. That's for sweeping the runways!!!:cool:

    What can you do after USPS and China Post gets done with your rocket?

    I went all over Shenzen, Beijing, and Shangai over a couple of weekends and couldn't find Jack Squat. No rockets, No Nintendo stuff, No Nothing. Yeah, the trade zones explanation makes perfect sense now. I did find some knockoff Legos that were quite interesting sold under several brands but...

    Thoughts on "The Orville"?

    Can't argue with that ^^^ Me neither, and it's amazing that it is not on *Any* streaming service. Guess I'll be getting the DVD set too.

    Thoughts on "The Orville"?

    Mehh here too. McFarlaine is funny with his regular stuff, but when he tries to act himself in live action (not cartoon) he falls flat on his face. "A Million Ways to Die in The West" was an example. He has to explain his jokes too much. The cut aways in family guy are funny, and as such, the...

    Worst Kit?

    Worst kits: Early Quest kits. Couplers too short and loose. Iffy nose cones. Thin motor hooks. I think those are all long gone by now. Weird kits: Early Sunward kits. Nice kits but some odd things like the early motor hooks. All used the same nose cone... Best kits: Centuri. Best...

    North Korea

    It's a delicate balancing act. China does NOT want a US ally on their border, and the US is cognizant of that, so the US and China need to work together to curtail the nonsense without destabilizing NK's government...
