hardware store stuff isn't cutting it (they dont cure quite hard enough and
sands like crap). I understand there are certain epoxies that aren't
hazardous therefore can be shipped by air... any examples?

Has anyone assembled this new kit from PML?? If so what type of motor

Any help would be appreciated.

My family has just started in the model rocket world.   we've made a dozen
or so smaller kits and are now making some from scratch.
I was wondering about some materials...
a) for parachutes we've been using dry cleaner bags... is there another

so Brent McNeely has jumped ship after ruining ROL, huh?  how wonderful.  i would have offered to buy it but anything more than the domain name renewal price would have been too much.  apparently the auctions are going to get updated software.  looks like the aj's auction script ...
