Sent off an order to LOC Precision Rocketry last night.
1. Cool Spool kit
2. Laser LOC 2.23 kit
3. LOC 54 to 29 motor adapter
Then an order to BRS Hobbies...
1. Estes 18mm motor retainers
2. Estes 24mm motor retainers
And finally a custom “Gun For Hire” WuFlu face mask/neck warmer from the Woodland Park Range in New Jersey. Proceeds go to a veterans’ support fund.

Got shipping notice for my missing nose cone (thanks Steve!) as well as my wood filler, and what I believe may be The Bomb from SBR.

My shipment from Mach 1 turned out to have not included the fiberglass nose cone upgrade for my Chimera BT60 when I later compared the contents received to my order file copy.
Emailed Steve two-three days ago but haven’t heard back yet.

It arrived today, along with my snap-ring pliers from Horrible Fright.
Got my discount rebate from PML the other day, got shipping notice from AMW for my Bigger Daddy, ordered some epoxy from hobbylinc.

She got a BT20 Alien Interceptor and I got a BT50 Patriot. I'll have a Patriot collection -- BT50, 4", and 5.5". And I'll have to scratch-build a few more sizes.

This might be of interest in these trying times. Mary McCarthy of Cosmic Vests and Ties is making space themed face masks. Pat McCarthy is a long-time NAR member. I just ordered two of Mary's masks as the masks that my wife bought are horrible. Cindy has MS so I try to protect myself in order to protect her.

I want to order a couple of model kits, but the build pile is huge. Have an Odd'l Rockets Little Green Man and a North Coast Rocketry Lance Delta in work.

Thank you for posting this.
I have contacted Mary for three face masks.
My child bride is immune-compromised and we cannot afford to take chances.

The lovely Pat McCarthy demonstrates the masks made by Cosmic Vests.

Received a PP invoice from CosmicMasks Pat McCarthy this morning.
Again, thanks for mentioning her service here on TRF.

Was eagerly awaiting my 4" Seawolf, unfortunately USPS thought differently I guess...

Lately my shipping boxes have been arriving in similar condition. It's frustrating.
Thus far the contents have been undamaged in spite of the horrific damage to the shipping containers.
I cautioned LOC Precision that the USPS has been damaging my fiberglass rocket boxes and could they take extra care packing my cardboard Laser LOC 2.23 rocket kit.
We'll see if that helps in a few days.
Hopefully your Seawolf is undamaged.
Edit: LOC Precision was up to the challenge and smacked the Post Office upside the haid...er, head.
The package arrived festooned with bright orange “Fragile” stickers which usually has the same effect as waving a red flag in front of an angry bull...but the package was totally undamaged!
I sprayed it with disinfectant and it now sits on my sunny backyard patio for an extra decontamination period.
When that is finished I will open the package and report back on the state of the contents but I remain optimistic that all will be in good order.

Not a chance. Main body tube was kinked/creased and is now a permanent oval shape.

Top Flight is top notch!
The Post Office in Bixby, OK is notorious for damaging packages, I have had words, brought in damaged boxes, bent/cracked body tubes to the Post Master with little result - she stated it was from the contract help. I finally notified the Inspectors and what do you know... no problems since.

I support our rocketry vendors as much as I can.
USPS is notorious for crushing boxes but to date there has been no damage to the contents.
Heres my collection of rocket kit boxes from the past six weeks of lockdown. More than one kit per box in most cases, three kits in some.
Not bragging here, just trying to inspire those who can afford to do so. If these vendors close up shop, we’re facing a hard patch.
Not shown are the boxes from various rocketry parts and pieces I’ve ordered to support the new rocket kits and their recovery.
In no particular order: LOC Precision, Mach 1 Rocketry, SMT Designs, BRS Hobbies, Apogee, Missile Works, Rocket Works, eRockets.
Orders I’m still putting together: Eggfinder, Black Aero, LabRat

What are you thinking about from Eggfinder? I'm looking at "The Whole Enchalida".
Eggfinder was having trouble sourcing their GPS chips, I was unable to order an enchilada, but am hopeful for later this summer.

Placed an order with Wildman for some recovery harnesses, Nomex and motor retainers...

I was planning on the Whole Enchilada / EggFinder Mini. Have someone doing the assembly and testing. My soldering skills date back to the point to point and through the board days.
Guys I fly with mostly use Eggfinders.

Well, I’m going to find out soon enough...fingers crossed.Eggfinder was having trouble sourcing their GPS chips, I was unable to order an enchilada
I’ll let you know what I find out.
I think I forgot to mention I ordered some centering rings and a Bull Puppy 2.1 from PML. 15% rebates ends real soon.
