Here Kitty , kitty :mrgreen:

Yes, Cat Toy is the best idea in my opinion.

I was intrigued by the trivet idea, but it appeared to have some drawbacks in that the cordage would melt upon application of a hot pan.

Re: My first skill level five rocket

After scraping the nose cone seams, I give the nose cone a quick coat of silver aerosol can paint to really bring out the blemishes. Xarconian nose cone above.JPG Xarconian nose cone underneath.JPG One can readily see some scratches needing repair on the above shot, but the underneath had a couple o...

Re: Gap staging vent hole size

I have been doing a bit more work on the Renegade. I have the booster motor mount rebuilt in 24mm and ready to be glued in.

Yeppers, One is about 2.4mm across and the other is about 3.2mm across. You can scrape rounded edges on 3/32" and 1/8" thick balsa!

Re: My first skill level five rocket

So the more I get into this build, the more convinced I become that the reason this is a level five build is due to the instructions being so bad. 3223-01.PNG 3223-02.PNG It is my opinion that a reason there are not as many youth interested in Model Rocketry, is that the instructions are so poor tha...
