Okay, to sum up: John posted an off-topic anecdote accidentally. Let's say it together: "Accidentally". He has apologized for doing so. 'Nuff said. Let's end...
All, Some really neat video of a successful test launch in Jeff Bezos' manned space program has been posted to the Blue Origin website. Take a minute to check...
True- but since this particular vehicle made a flight doesn't this move it from F/F scale to sport scale and scale? I like it for Space Systems because of the...

Hello, I'm Rick Boyette, NAR #31375, L3CC member. I just joined this list. I've been a NAR memebr since 1980. Per Dave Fitch's request, I have scanned the Nov...
To All, I cam across some interesting information on the WAC CORPORAL today . . . Apparently, the Fins are NOT tapered in their airfoil cross-section, as...
Having seen photos of the prototype, with the tapered cross-section, I'd have to say that this replica isn't reproducing the original exactly. It's a flying...
... I agree that the WAC and Tiny Tim fins are indeed tapered along their span and "lense-shaped" (not beveled) in their chord. One wonders just what Ez2c saw...
I found three pics of an unpainted airframe at http://www.wilhelm-aerospace.org/Photos/nm-2002/nm-2002.html First and third are most useful, but all three show...
I am building the version with the black fins (I don't know the version number). The kit card says that the leading edges of the fins are "dark grey" but I...
Most of the Black Brant kits depict round CC-II-16 which did not have grey leading edges on the fins. The leading edge of the fins have a slightly different...
Thanks! That is the latest impression I got. I am just about 99% certain that the grey called for on the fins was actually just a different reflection off...
I will do some more thorough searching, when I'm released from work- but does anyone know of a source for Thor Able drawings other than RotW? I'm considering...
Would anyone have shots of the various models flown at the event that was held at Phoenix that would now be in the current issue of Model Rocketry? I would...
... The National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton Ohio ought to have the drawings. http://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/research/ --Zack W1VT...
Kevin I am also working on creating large scale thor-based models. Basically, at this point, I'm working on creating AutoCAD files of the variants, hoping to...
I know it's not as sexay as the later Delta's but I like the Thor. As for size- say about 4 inches taller than James Duffy's Little Joe model from the...
Hello, All- I know that Estes X-15 mini-brute from the 70's isn't much of a scale model, but it reminds me of my childhood. As such, I found my old one and was...
You can always try Estes. They've brought back the mini motor X15 from time to time, and you never know what they might have hanging around the office. Also,...
Roy, your message reminds me of the third, least-known member of the Firing Line trio--the Banshee. Does Estes still have the molds for it? It would make a...
... If that rocket takes the small 13mm motors as the old ad shows, then you may get the engine holder from an Estes Mini Mars Lander to work. It is powered by...
Peter & All, Since the "Rockets of the World" books are out of print, have you ever considered either the files available online or in DVD format ??? Dave...
DVD would be awesome! _____ From: scaleroc@yahoogroups.com [mailto:scaleroc@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Ez2cDave@... Sent: Friday, January 26, 2007 2:17...
"Rockets of the World" does not exist as usable files for a DVD. It exists as photomechanical halftones, text in Ready-Set-Go format, and drawings in MacDraw....
Ok Doug I'll bite. The schematic icon just below TUBEPUNK is a tube icon, but I'm not sure which. What tube type were you drawing there, a KT88? Mark ... From:...
