How often do you spend building/

[flying_silverad]

How often (DAILY AVERAGE) do you spend working or building rockets?

 

[jetra2]

Well...

I usually only spend 1-2 hours a day on rockets, mainly because many of my projects use epoxy, which means that I can only spend about 15-20 minutes at a time...

Sometimes, though, I'll spend 3-4 hours straight working. I usually like to blame it on the shirt I'm wearing!

The shirts that really put me in "the mood" are my TRF shirt, my TDD shirt, "I love the smell of Black Powder in the Morning" shirt, and my "As a matter of fact, I am a rocket scientist" shirt.

Good poll, John!

Well I have just started back into this hobby but so far I have been spending 1 to 2 hours a day on some sort of rocket project.

If and when I get into the building mode... I'll spend 1 to 2 hours and maybe more... until the shivers and butterflies diminish...LOL

Really... Building is sorts cyclic... once or twice a year we'll get into the mood...

I probably only get to put 2 to 4 hours into a 'spurt' until someone realizes I am goofing off, and decides that I need to mow, or fetch groceries, or do something else that SHE wants done. Probably averages out to a couple hours a week.

If printing templates, scheme-ing, painting, sealing and sanding all count as building, I spend *at least* 1hr per day average. Some days, I spend zero. But then a couple of days later, I spend like 6 hrs.


Who voted for "more than 5 hrs / day?"

i'm tempted to say over 5 hrs a day...
it's hard to say though...i do some of this and some of that...sand a bit...paint...go do stuff while the paint dries...come back to the rockets...work a bit...more rockets...

i'm pretty much done building for awhile though. i think i got i tout of my system. now i have plenty of rockets to fly.

i do kind of want another Machbuster to replace my lost one...


i think that will be the mainstay of my building over the next few months...rebuilding crashed rockets and replacing lost ones. maybe one or two experimental designs/contest entries/clusters

Same here , I spend more than 5hours a day building. Seal 1 rocket , sand then prime it . Then while that drys go and prepare another. It's a very addictive cycle!

4-5 hours daily...i seem to be a bit un organized and since ive only made two scratch builts so far im still learning alot as i go so i tend to spend way to much time on certain areas...but hey atleast it looks good when im done...so not completely wasted time, but since im on summer break now i spend..ALOT.. of my time build designing rocs.

I think yesterday i worked from about 11:30 till about 5:30.....and then from about 7 till about 11:30 or 12? yeah i've got waaaaaay to much free time. lol

And my rockets to "chose from to design libaray" is getting rather large..actaully i have about 60 in there.

and i wouldn't dare say im obsessed.


rockets rock \m/ \m/

I voted 3-4 hours a day, but that's only temporary. It'll go down to about an hour a day or less, once I run out of stuff to do, or the doctor lets me return to work.
