Well I watched this show last night and frankly I thought it was great.This was a very cool intro for the newbie as well as a great plug for Estes.However,I don't remember their name being mentioned directly.Probably legal "we don't wanna get sued if your viewers screw up" stuff.Also cool where all of the different models.I really enjoyed the Redstone as well as the Commanche-3.The Commanche looked almost as nice as mine.LOL! Exact same color as mine,too.
Another cool part was the cartoon graphics explaining rocket stuff.Again,very useful to newbies.
The only quirks I found where in some of his techniques.I,for one,would not have used CA on my mounts.A hard landing shock could do them in.Also he should have shown a little more technique on the fin fillets.Speaking of fillets;Was it my imagination or did the Commanche not have any?I know several people who build with the "root edge only" fin attachment style but i'm just not that confident in it.One of these days I'm gonna build me a cheap "test bed" rocket for that style just to see what will stand up to what.
Last but not least was his act of painting via spray can in such an enclosed area.Bad idea!
One final thought;You all should really check out DIY more often.Tons of cool stuff on there.
