I built my Quinstar today. I just need to paint it and apply the decals. What a neat little kit. I also opened the LJII kit. I looked through it and found that one of the decals is creased. I'll call them about it. Estes has been great in the past with stuff like this. Now I am planning to read through the tips and tricks thread in more detail. I find that the abbreviated kit instructions are less clear than I would like so I am hoping to clear up questions I already have. I think I'll build the Commanche III next while I learn about the LJII. Hey, they changed the decals on the Commanche III.
Did design revisions for my Snarly build, then, went over to my Mom's house to get more building supplies out of storage.

Nice design! Mind posting the .ork?
Cut some lumber and picked up some decals for my second ongoing upscale build:

Saved all of my ork. files from this computer to an external hard drive.
This computer is starting to die/glitch out again, and I'd hate to lose my files again.
I should have my regular, nice computer back by the middle of next week.
That one runs like a champ and never has a hiccup, save for the power supply fan having gone bad.
DROPBOX!
Seriously though, Dropbox is legit for this. I use it for all my ork and BeerSmith files so I can access them and share them from anywhere. It's the best and it is free.

I received our shipment of Balsasud brand end-grain balsa, two sheets of half inch by two feet by four feet.
You don't see that every day.
What is it for?
Yeah, it is really cool stuff! It will be the core material for the fins on our upscale Dragonfly. The fins are about 11" x 27", so I will have about six square feet left over to play with. At less than a fourth the weight of plywood it has some interesting possibilities...
I ordered some similar material from Fiberglass Supply in Burlington WA yesterday, only it was in 1/4" for my 5.5" Cherokee D upscales fins.
