Hi Gang,
Since PDR went out of business I have been seeking a new source for
clone kits. I am a B.A.R. and would like to build some of the old kits
from the past. So where do you suggest???

Has any one done this? Does any one have the plans and measurments. I
would really like to do it I have a new saturn v kit just waiting.
Thanks

I am just getting back into model rocketry. I want to scratch build a
launch pad. I want something more than just sticking a stiff piece of
wire in the ground. Does anyone know of some plans for a simple launch pad?
Thanks,

body tube size that I can utilize and still have a reliable ejection
charge push the chute and wadding out?

Well,
I received an email - followed it up - paid a fraction of what I would
have years ago when I lost it - and got the domain back.
Let me survive Plaster Blaster 8, then figure out what the heck I' m
