Hey all,

I really liked my Estes X-Ray as a kid and sent a few grasshoppers
skyward (all recovered fine) with it. Now that I'm into HPR, I thought
I'd go upscale! After balancing budget with what I could find on my
own, I settled in at around 7X. Contacting PML got me some custom
parts, and I bought a 8" clear acrylic tube for the payload section.
It's coming together!

Todd

If you find one, move farther away from that toxic waste dump...

It would be pretty cool if you could get a plastic one from a science
supply shop or such.
