Now I'm not sure if I want to open the bag to scan it. Then I'd have to keep track of the parts, etc., which means I'd have to move it from the top of the pile of other rocket stuff on the dining room table.

I drove up to Larry's Hobbies in north Houston at lunch time today, because I needed some CR-2050's right away. And of everything NOT to have, they don't have these!

However, they DO have TWO of Estes kit #2102, the 15th anniversary TIE Fighter. And a bunch of other Estes and Custom kits and parts, just not the parts *I* need.

Fortunately I am already in the process of making some centering rings out of two paper plates glued together with wood glue. That should work, but if it turns out to be too much of a hassle I can always make some from balsa if I have to.
