Our paths would have crossed on Saturday, but United cancelled by Friday PM flight out of town. The next flight oppertunity didn't get me to Muskegon until 6PM on Saturday, just in time for the NAR dinner meeting. Sunday was NAR meetings all day, so I didn't get out the flying field until Monday. Are you going to make it to NARAM 55?

+1 for Hobby Lobby. I haven't checked lately but it wouldn't surprise me. Walmart got out of the rocket business some years back, and most Micheals around the country tends to carry just Ready to Fly and a few starter sets, though as noted some don't carry rocket stuff at all.
Thanks Paul! I always enjoy your builds (and photos of your shop!!!).
This is a quick build, so don't go expecting the fine finish you put on your birds; simply not going to happen in this build thread
Very nice!
Sounds like the draggy looking fins still gave you a very decent flight on the C6. I'm wondering if they act a little like tube fins, in that they provide a lot of stability without as much tendency to weathercock, since they don't add much to the silhouette from a lateral projection.
Nice ,very nice build and glad you mentioned the decals ,as i was going to ask you what you thought of them.I just finished the Estes Interceptor E and brother are there a lot of decals !!!!!! but ,I was happy with the way they handled for the most part ,as there were a few that did not want to slide off of the backing paper. I like the way you painted the nosecone ,turned out pretty nice I must say.
OBTW ,guess what I got in the mail today :wink: Looks like I have a nice little build to start this week.
Take care and good work !

Great job Eric! This one seems a good candidate for some D composites. Is that nose cone one of Estes' old nose cone/transition/tailcone all in one mold deals? A creative resurrection if so.
Beautiful build! Nice action photos! Great landing pond?
Nice job Eric, looks great. Just started mine tonight.
