No Maverick on the list?! Mine almost caught on fire a couple of Saturday's ago when the
E9-6 malfunctioned.....

MESS report filed and Estes customer service contacted; got a nice response from Christine.
Told her that instead of another (Estes) kit or engines, I rather just have a new Estes baseball cap (to replace the wornout one I have now).... :o

Just wanted to comment that Don and I completed a transaction for a couple of the FSI kits and it was smooth as silk. I have two kits from my early daze of model rocketry and am wondering if I should ask the NAR OOP motor project about firing a couple of the FSI 21mm motors... Naaaah.

Thanks for the cudos Chas......After blowing up my Viking V about three times using FSI F100s, I quit using them (you notice I had some for sale :D ). Luckily, I've been able to keep salvaging the parts and rebuilding it. The last time though, I couldn't get another body tube for it but found out the roll for the aluminum foil my wife bought was a perfect fit. Kinda makes you wonder where FSI got their body tubes from...... :rolleyes:

Chas

phew! Had me going there for a moment.!

Yeah, I think it's kinda ridiculous to burn perfectly good old motors just to prove something you already know. they are safe. plus after they are burnt, they aren't no more.

Glad cooler heads prevailed.

I have had great business transactions with Don before. Buying a bunch of FSI kits was another great transaction. Fast, great packaging, and a great guy to deal with. Buy with Confidence. :D Thanks, Don!

Well, keep-a-blushin', Don - the Sprint arrived on Saturday. I wasn't going to start looking for it 'till Wednesday of this coming week. Outstanding service!!

My Nova arrived on Thursday, and in a Semroc box no less. It was like a two day turnaround and I immediately got to work on it, hoping to make it one of my Saturday flights. I finished it, but with the winds whipping the way they were, I wimped on the flight. (I chased two of my birds into Kite-Fest. I sure didn't want to chase one OVER Kite-Fest. :rolleyes: ) Maybe in two weeks. :o

[barone]

This item has sold. Thanks.

[barone]

Well, they've been posted for two weeks now and I guess everyone got what they wanted. Tomorrow they'll be on EBay. Thanks to all of you who have bought something. I'm looking forward to seeing the build threads.

[Chas Russell]

Well, maybe some of us were waiting for an updated list, since some were marked "not for sale yet". I don't do e-bay.

Still, I will enjoy the Nova kits anyway.

Chas
Any one in particular? I haven't got them all listed yet.

[Chas Russell]

Don,

Go ahead and post on E-bay and see if you get a good price. I started looking on what I had an interest in (Sandhawk, Javelin, et al) and figured that I need to save money for the trup to NARAM in July.
Thanks for replying.

Chas

[Chas Russell]

Don,

Any links to your E-Bay postings?

Chas,

These are the only ones I have listed so far.

Didn't realize that the BBII and Javelin were boxed.

Don,

I did finally take a look at your Sandhawk while you were out chasing Buffalo. I was hoping you'd hide it in my truck somewhere. :D

Yes, my BBII's box was pretty sturdy. So much so that it protected the kit's parts for some
25 years before I became a BAR and got around to building it in the summer of 2004. A really nice kit, if one wants to know (hint: I'll be writing an EMRR OOP product review of this
model one day soon)....

Wha cha fly it on?

[dwmzmm]

Wha cha fly it on?

Flown this particular model twice (so far); the first on an E9-4 (pictured) at the Gulf Coast
Regional Meet (JSC, late 2004), and the second on the E30-4T at McGregor, TX (TX State
Championship). Believe it or not, the E9-4 gave it a pretty good flight, but the E30-4T was
a big mistake. Model was still traveling at a high rate of speed when the ejection fired,
ripping the payload/nose section (with the shockcord & parachute) from the main body
(with a very ugly zipper). The main body section glided down while the nose & payload section floated away (never to be found). Carl at SEMROC came to my rescue
and provided the replacement parts so as to allow me to rebuild this beautiful model (what
you see in the first picture; the other three are that of the original FSI Black Brant - II.
The next time I fly it, it'll be on the E30-7T.....
