Model Forum / General / Rockets / November 2003

Anybody got a line on some of these?  Would like to get a few so if
anyone knows a dealer who still has some (or lightly used ones from any
individuals out there).
Thanks,

OK, here's a jem for all of you guys who want to turn your own NCs and TCs
but lack space. This served me well with balsa and even hickory shovel
handles (I turned them into nose cones). It's cheap enough and it works. All
you need are the knives. You can bid on RMR and you can view ...

My home ISP for news is the giganews server and at 12:30 today, it's
not listed any more ! (RMR is not listed, only alt.rockets and uk
rockets.)
I wonder if those DDOS attacks going on over the weekend targeted RMR

I want to post a few rockets on rmr for auction. In days past one used to be
able to upload a jpg right to the auction site. Now it asks for a URL. Is
this the only way to get photos posted?

I wanted to sell this kit earlier but couldn't find the dang thing when
somebody expressed an interest in it. Then, when I did find it, I lost the
individual's name and email address. So, now it's on RMR. It's new, in the
origninal box but, I did open it. Otherwise, this puppy is ...

For those of you with nothing better to do than to pay detailed attention
 to my travels, I've posted pix of the VLA and Los Alamos trips to:

I'm hoping someone can help me with a question on reinforcing balsa
fins with silk paper, like that done on RC planes.  It has been
several years since I last did this.  I know there is a 50/50 mix
using a glue with thinner, but I can't find the exact name anywhere.

Is the purpose of the optional plugged forward closure, so that no ejection
charge is used and you use a altimeter for ejection charge purposes?
Are the plugged forward closure and the "standard"  forward closure that has
the rdk delay charges interchangable.....can you use one or ...

I saw estes advertising their new rocket dragsters and was thinking this
might be fun to try.  I was thinking of building something slightly larger
that would be propelled with a small E or F 24mm motor down the sidewalk
along a 200' tether.  Anyone ever tried building one of these?

OK, a technical based paint thread.  Who would have thought such a
thing would come up.
Has anyone tried these or similar water based auto paints?

Well saw this on the newspaper recently. Apprantly someone's been smoking in

Hope they dont call for toughter laws (like what ...

Anyone tried these?  Is this GPS comparable to Garmin unit that others have
said was so good for rocket tracking?  I like the fact that it's GPS and FRS
in one gadget!
