Just go to the website and place your order. It would be to your advantage to do so soon, as the prices are going up by the end of this week.

Will do. From your other post, I though you were saying you had problems with your website.

Actually, the web service lost our server, no access, no email, nothing. However, we got reestablished and even got all of our old email back.
Thanks for the order, We'll send it out as soon as we are back from Texas.
But wow.... What are you going to do with a dozen King Krakens?

When I was 16-17, I used my hard earned money from Six Flags to buy components from Hawk Mountain to build a 3" rocket. Those were amazing parts. A bit slower than most to deal with since I had to snail mail checks, but the parts were great. I lawn darted the motor section from 5k due to an early charge (I think) and it just came out of the ground with a core sample in it. Cleaned it out, replaced the harness, and we were off to the races. After ~15 years, I finally donated the rocket to a pretty cool glass blowing shop that loves to collect stuff to mount on the walls/hang from the ceilings. It now hangs from their ceiling
Now, Dynacom... that's one that I also wish I got into early on. But I was given a built Anaconda earlier this year with only one flight on it (circa 1998). I plan on re-doing the av bay and sending it up again soon.
Scotglas, anyone? Also acquired a built BBII with the "3D" fin can from an estate of a service member that was deployed. I guess he instructed his father to sell it all, or something to that extent. There was some cool stuff in that collection. I still don't know who it was to this day. I will say that his son (or nephew?) is deaf/hard of hearing so if anyone is on TRF that was near the Jefferson City, MO area... Rest easy knowing that I am keeping the BBII alive.
Haven’t seen any sign of Scotglas since ‘98, when I bought a replacement nosecone for my 3.9” Nike Smoke.

Yes! THAT was the manufacturer of the Nike Smoke I had built! It was the 3.9" Scotglas kit! I loved that rocket! First purpose-built dual-deployment rocket in my fleet. I had retrofitted an EZI-65 before that, but that wasn't purpose-built.

You must have added a payload section to go dual deploy. Mine had a single body tube. I installed a 38mm motor tube in the nosecone to house a magnetic apogee detector.

I cut the tube and added an electronics bay. Worked great!

How long is your booster now? My body tube is 36”. I’m wondering if different body tube lengths were offered.

Umm....don't remember. I don't have that rocket, anymore
It is too bad they do not offer a few of their kits. Those were great kits.

I think you meant "Composite Dynamics" . . . It later evolved into Aerotech . . . Gary Rosenfield.

True . . .
Do you have a copy of that Dyncom catalog ?
If you do, please scan it and post it.
Dave F.
I do, however the pdf's a little too large to attach.
I just sent it to Sven at ninfinger.org, perhaps he'll host it with the other catalogs.
PM if you'd like me to send it directly to you.

Dynacom made me a custom kit when I got out of college for my L3 project. Flew it twice and got out of rocketry for a while. I flew it with my son at Airfest last year which was 20 years to the month from its first flight.

VERY cool! I had a Scorpion that I flew for years in Georgia and Texas until a deployment failure caused it to land in a flat spin that partially 'unwound' the body tube when a find planted. Now have an Aggressor that is 80% completed for dual deployment.

Very nice !
Any chance of your measuring it and posting dimensions and a fin pattern for cloning ?

Thanks for posting that! I did not know about the Dynacom line of FG tubes with sizes that had not settled into the modern conventions. Probably not enough of them left out there to warrant inclusion in the database though.

Do you have a picture of that one, Tad?
Glad you liked it!
Non-standard sizes were definitely an issue with FG early on. I still have 3 tubes left from back then, a pair of 5" and a 2.6". I remember making a few calls before settling on a ~2" tube for my 2nd scratch-build and having to make nose cone and couplers:

I second most of what has been mentioned already. Especially The Launch Pad!

North Coast Rocketry. Sorry, if there aren't Dark Stars and Black Hole Bettys, it's not NCR. Still, glad to see Matt selling stuff again.
Excelsior Rocketry. LOVED their decals and kit bash packs.
Public Missiles. Bought out by LOC
Tango Papa Decals. Have to assume he's out of business. E-mailed him a year ago January. Asked if he was still making decals. He said he was. Placed a pretty big order. In June I e-mailed him for I think the 4th time to ask about progress and he told me he was sorry but he had buried my order under some things on his desk and he would get back to work on it that week. Not a peep since.
