There were two places I used tandems. One was for Gemini dual eggloft, in which I'd epoxy an 18mm engine atop an F100-0 to "fill in" some of the allowable...

I lost all the photos I accumulated of the Akela-1 kit due to a hard drive crash a few months ago. If any of you have any scans, or links to pics of the...
Hello everyone, This is my first post to this group. Some of you may know me from the kits that Jim S. auctioned for me a few years ago. This kit was a hobby...
Mike; Thanks for the post, and for confirming the lengths of the Colossus motor mount tubes! I'll be adding this info to the Estes tube list shortly. Speaking...
Tim, Here's an Akela-1 body wrap I made last year. I never did use it, and I don't remember if it fits a particular body tube, but... here it is, for what...
... You can't do attachments on the OldRockets list. Are you talking about the decal found here? If so, I'm the one that cleaned that particular decal and...
Provided one selected motors properly and managed to obtain a reasonable epoxy joint, I thought tandeming was a pretty benign technique. We've gone so long...
... Thanks to the guys from Rocketflite, my reliability with F100s (as well as D20s and E60s) went to 100% when I stopped lighting them like composites at the...
I'm trying to locate a publication by the MIT Rocket Society in the late 70's, I think it was 1978. It was a collection of glider plans, from 1/4A to F power....
George, I think NIRA used to have a bunch of glider plans. Maybe they still have the publications and be able to get you a copy. I'm not sure who is involved ...

... Yup - the only F100 CATO I ever had was when I put the igniter at the top of the core. Consequently, the BEST F100 flights I ever had was when I put an...
John, Is the TIE Fighter kit the same as the one in the bag? I have an open bagged 15th anniversary TIE Fighter kit. Let me know and I'll write down the parts...
I'll nevber forget an egglofter flown at a DARS launch in the mid 1970's that used an FSI E-60/Estes C-6 tandem motor. It was real easy to tell when the E-60...
Hi John; Thanks for responding; all help is appreciated at this point, as I'm closing in on the last few remaining kits in the list. You may have seen my...
Hi Tim; Thanks for responding; your post prompts a point about one of the recurring problems in the Estes scheme of things. I don't have the boxed X-Wing ...
... I see your point. I guess the boxed version was for store shelves. Considering the motor tube is only an inch or two longer than the longest plastic...
My Mosquito was always a "Launch-And-Hunt" rocket. I'd launch it, see a smoke trail going up and then me and my friends would look around to find the poor...
... The first time I heard "Tom Woodhead" was from Moose at NARAM 16 in Manassas. He'd built a Centuri "Two Bitz" with a small balsa block for a nose cone and...
