I've just received an order from Balsa Machine Service which included the
nose cone and tail cone for a BT55 size clone of OOP Estes V2. I've seen Jim
Z's plans and I plan to replicate the kit from that using the scale size

I'm looking for some advice from any of you who have successfully
converted a plastic model kit of an F-104 Starfighter jet into a

the promise of insurance has been used in marketing rocketry to both
prospective rocketeers as well as to prospective site owner/managers.
But what liability protection is actually acheived, and under what

I decided to treat myself to a band saw. Looking thru some of the sales
circulars in today's paper, the two I'm looking at are:
Ryobi 9" Bench Top Band Saw     2.5 amp   1/3 HP   $99 @ Home Depot

I've rendered some cutaways of a C6-5 for outreach programs. I'm not
entirely happy with these and will probably render them again early
next year.

What's a good rule of thumb for how long the exposed coupler should be
if it's being used as a transition in a 2-stage rocket?
As usual thank you.
