I'll be in again this time. I'll have to think of a wish list. LPR/MPR is the easiest for me to fly the most often. I'm getting into making sugar motors. Some things that are always useful are Eggtimer Apogee and Quark units, PLA or PETG filament, LPR kits, QuickDip, building materials, vendor gift cards. Im easy to please.

I will have to ask Papa Elf if he got my request to join.....

How is everyone doing?
Excited for Christmas this July ?
Excited for LDRS ?
I am looking forward to both !

The wish list thing for me is hard.
I always had a problem asking for a gift. I think a surprise is nice too.

Nice to get back to the hobby after such a long departure......
Back to working on my LVL 2 Model and Excited to go to LDRS....
My fourth of July will be spent away from home.... But that may
just make it sweeter.

anyone ever heard of a Rocketry Gift Card or Gift Certificate.
I wonder if Places like Apogee do Gift Certificates.... ?
