I have a few items for sale. Too many hobbies not enough time. I will
not ship the motors, ignitors, or BP!!! Local pickup only. San Jose, CA.
1 J350 Sealed in package. $25
1 H242 Opened, no delay. $12

use an E30 or you'll "pull a Skylab".

Thanx

I have not had good results trying to glue balsa fins onto the plastic
tailcone of the Estes Silver Comet.  Just recently I read on another website
