Never Had that problem with their engines, but I never bought that many, just 9 or 10 E45's. Their stuff was expensive when compared to everyone else. Joe...

I know that their E45 was a good motor. I joined NAR 1981 and entered my first contest that summer. One of the events was e altitude and I used the LASOR 114...
... You're assuming that this is a joke? Have you seen some of the new faces at VOA lately? _________________________________________________________________ ...
... Excellent! Tell me about the flight. Was the 4 second delay a good choice? What kind of height did you wind up with. After seeing my S.I. upscale on an...
For those of you who have built the FSI Black Brant II model (or have used the following in finishing their models) I need some clarification to the following:...
... I saw an interview with Ben Kingsley today and they showed several launch shots of the orange rocket. They looked almost like one of Jamie Clay's videos....
... Here's my swag, Dave. Given that this is a ~20 year old kit/design, I'd say the intent was that the shellac was to be used as primer/ sealer. I think...

The sharp tipped balsa fins are extremely easy to damage on a rocket that size if not strengthened in some fashion. You might want to soak them with thin CA or...
Bill, the E9-4 gives the Maxi Alpha very impressive flights. The four second delay is perfect (thanks to those on this forum who strongly recommended it to...
Bill, I too have asked BMS about a few custom nose cones and got the same answer. I wish there was another source for custom nose cones (balsa or plastic)......
... DO NOT DO THIS. As near as I can figure, the shellac is FSI's idea of what you use to fill wood and body tubes. (ASIDE: I visited FSI in 1990, on the way...
Wow, guys!! I didn't expect any replies this quickly! I thought this forum would be quiet for a while because most everyone would be at NARAM. I do have a...
... I was digging through my old collected and inherited stuff today and found what could be an original Centuri BC-76. Cut the ST-7 and BT-5, too. Anyway,...

I've got two good resons why I'm not there ... 1. I'm not an NAR member, 2. I'm way out WEST. "And for the second time in four million years, the monolith...
I am pretty sure you don't have to be a NAR member to attend NARAM. You would probably only be limited to sport flying (I don't know if they would allow...
My first impression in reading that step # 17 about using shellac was this must be a "shortcut" way of finishing the model to cut out a good finishing job. It...

Okay so I arrive at the NARAM 46 launch site at 10 am Saturday morning and set out my display kits for my new line of Dr. Zooch rockets. Not a huge crowd...
