That’ll be some serious ship!

BTW, when is the mask coming off?

The mask will come off when the pandemic is complete. Soon, I hope.

I am immunized and no longer need it, but wear it to protect those that refuse to take the vaccine or can't take it. When I make the determination that people have been given ample opportunity to take a shot, I will remove mine.
 
I drew up plans for a flying porta potty. 2' tall 1' square with 2' fins. Bought the foam sheets and was ready to go when I thought where am I going to put it. Plan on hold.
 
While rummaging through old Estes catalogs, I came across a rather surprising one in the 2006 catalog. A Porta-Potty rocket called "The Porta Pot Shot." It looks like a somewhat vulgar version of Squirrel Works's Metropolitan Police Call Box kit. Seeing that the Porta-Potty kit only appeared in a few catalogs, I'm guessing that it wasn't a great hit, but I had no involvement with rocketry at the time so I have no idea. In any case, it looks like it's reached "collector's item" status now.

Yes, I fly mine at least once a year along with my R2-D2.
