I really enjoyed building and flying the PDRocketry clone of the Estes kit. Was not a perfect build, but the satisfaction was nevertheless remarkable.

Is it required that one must always strive to be learning, acquiring, or honing skills when building a model rocket?

Not a requirement, but a choice and preference. Same as choosing a level 3-5 kit to build (or clone or scratch build) rather than an E2X or RTF kit. There's a place for those, but I'll leave those for the beginners. Just freely expressing my opinion, one of the perks of being an American. |

Excellent work by a true craftsman. Saw your review on EMRR. Very concise and informative. Too bad the company is no longer in business, I might have ordered the kit. Instead wound up building a clone from the original design, parts from erockets, clear plastic stock from Hobbylinc. Had to relearn how to cut clear plastic fins. I had done it once as a kid building the Thor Agena, but this time using the old score and snap method gave me mixed results. Wound up using an oscillating tool. Easy peasy, nice straight cuts and no throwaways. |

I recently came across one of the PDR Gemini-Titan clones in my storage locker - original sealed bag (I sort of forgot I had it).
I've sold off most of my rocket kit collection on ebay over the last year or so - I made my wife get rid of a bunch of her stuff on the condition that I'd do the same to my rocketry collection. Anyway, I'm planning to put the PDR clone up on ebay, but if someone wants to make a preemptive offer PM me. Tim |
