Scott, thanks! Hi all, The instructions mention Hercules engines..the old Mini Max that I have is an F-10; ..think of the old Estes B-3 (?) B-14 re-write so to speak. One can place their pinkie into the nozzle. Also it has 1/4" thick 2 piece fins; I'll wrap the tube with 80 grit and sand the root edges to conform...better fit, less glue. Oddly enough, the fabric/elastic shock cord is still "springy" I think I get the jist of the steel cable keeper - Earl, any idea of how to pack it all for flight? Slim instructions... Bob

About the only thing I could say is?carefully, I guess.
I have all the MiniMax kits and among them there is really no specific directions on how to do that. I figure the main thing is, as one is getting that all stuffed into the bodytube, is to try to keep the chute itself from getting entangled in the steel cable and shock cord. Maybe a small layer of chute wadding of some type between all that harness work and the chute itself, with the chute being on the very top, just under the nosecone. Earl

Old Motors
I'm surprised these didn't go before I nabbed them. I was going for the Cox motors, including a D8-0 pack. He was asking $40.88 OBO. He took my $35 offer.

Wowww.
That's a steal. The D8-0 motors are good'ns Great for a Farside booster. D8-0 to D8-0 to a C6-7 or Quest composite D upper stage makes a memorable but unrecoverable flight.
