What happened last year???Happy Christmas In July Everyone, and for those of us in the USA happy Independence Day! Just waiting for Mrs Elf to get up so we can dig into our gifts, then we'll post what new rocket, casings, or spent motors we got this year.
Till then I'm going to get dressed, take the dog out, take the ribs out of the freezer, eat breakfast, work on some rockets. I'm even tempted to stick in the H268R in my WarLock and fly it today to celebrate 4th of July... But I don't want a repeat of what happened last year.
I launched my Aerotech Sumo with a G77-6R and there was no ejection and it went splat.What happened last year???
Post a pic .Thank you Secret Santa! I love the three new minis, and awesome on the epoxy and mixing cups... Merry Christmas in July, everyone!!!
Well worth the wait. I got the Wildman Dark Star Mini with the dual deploy add-on. Also received an Aeropack 29mm retainer. Thanks Secret Santa!
Thanks Santa!Received the second shipment. So now I believe I have all the gifts I will be getting. As a side note, I bought a present for my wife and when she asked about the package that arrived yesterday, I said that since I can't open my packages until the Fourth, she can't open hers until then either.
I've tried, but I can't seem to attach the photos with my phone...Post a pic .
I have the same problem with mine. If you have an Android, you have to use the chrome browser on the phone. Doesn't seem to work with any other browser. - Edit - I see you figured it out.I've tried, but I can't seem to attach the photos with my phone...

Ignore my face i had just woke upI must of been a good Elf this year because I got a EZI-65 and a 54mm Retainer. Eventually I'll need an extended 54mm closure so I can fly this with a J90 . Hopefully this will be ready for the SPAAR launch in a few weeks Really want to fly it with a G75J but not sure I want to spring for the hazmat shipping so It might just be a G64 or G76 for it's maiden slow and low flight.

Mrs. Elf wanted me to post what she got. She got the HyperLoc 223 she had on her list. She loves all the stickers it comes with. We discussed how we are going build it. I might leave out the fiberglass because I don't plan on flying it on anything bigger than G or H motors. I am planning on using the 38mm motor adapter as the motor mount, and will be ordering a 38mm retainer for it. If we get it done in time, we will put it up on a G61 at the next SPAAR launch.

I got a Fin Alignment Guide printing that should work with both rockets
A little more backstory: I had just finished ordering items for my recipient. When my wife saw and had for this block set. She is a huge Ringo fan and large Beatles fan. Overall. When she saw the price she decided it was way too expensive. I wasn't going to tell her how much I had just spent on secret Santa so I figured I'd buy that for her. When the box came, the same day as the of my packages from secret Santa, I started to open as I knew what was inside, having received emails from the supplier. But my wife insisted that I could not open them. Now fortunately Happy Chutes had gift wrapped so even with the box open it didn't matter. But I told her that since I couldn't open my present, she couldn't open hers. She's very happy with itAnd this is what I gave my wife.View attachment 654387
