Joe, you’re the one who introduced me to NCR and turned me on to all this HPR stuff and I have had a ton of fun (and spent a lot of $ at Hobbytown!) thanks to you. I’m really sad…   Read more»

Mike, that’s one hell of a fleet! Can’t wait ’til I have that many big birds to play with. Right now I’m a little stuck in LPR mode – bought a ton of kits and having too much fun to…   Read more»

so for the little stuff (ie, estes rockets), you think the elmers will be fine for filling in balsa fins, and those annoying spirals on the tubes? thanks for all the input!

I found some filler at Hobbytown that is really good stuff. A bit expensive but well worth it. I seem to recal is was 7 ot 8 bucks a jar. I like it a lot better that Elmers. It is…   Read more»

thanks mark, think our plans for a launch today have been scrubbed – it’s been a busy week for the kids and wife; we’re going to stay home and have a quiet day relaxing. however, we might want to do…   Read more»

thanks, joe!

yeah, nothing bigger than estes “E”s. what about access – no padlocked gates or anything?

Thanks, Brett, that’s what I was afriad of – sounds like a lot of room for mistakes and lost rockets. Seems like a newbie like me should keep it simple a little longer. What do you think?

hey, perfect timing – i’m working on my first cluster, albeit a little one, the estes 36d squared. an interesting name for a rocket, makes me think of something else … 😉 . anyway, it should be ready to fly…   Read more»

Thanks, guys, if somebody could bring the membership form on the 14th that’d be great. I’m curious, the NAR form says something about expiring in a year – does the certification only last that long? That seems kind of lame….   Read more»

hey, guys, for the newbie here, under what circumstances do you have to get a leup? i’ve bought some motors from joe at hobby town with no problem; i can also buy motors from tim at a club launch, right?…   Read more»
