Thank you. Is the TMAK9907 and the TMAK9907X the two kits needed to make the current production Estes Saturn V equivalent to the two power plant version that was produced in the 70's? Or is it some other combination of kits for 3 C motors - 1 D motor option in that model. Curtis (I hope you were not badly affected the recent heavy rains in your area.) |

I believe what you'll need is a 9907X, 9907A and 9907E. Mark would be able to tell you exactly what you need. You can contact him by clicking on the Sales email address on the left side of the page. I personally wasn't affected by the rain, but I know a number of people that were.

I think the advent of privatized space tourism and the like will almost certainly kickstart the hobby, especially for the big-time high power hobbyists. I've seen a shot from an amateur rocket camera from 100,000 ft. I've seen video of a 1:10 scale Saturn V go up and land beautifully... done by 'amateurs.'
How long do you think it'll be before an 'amateur' puts something into orbit? Or puts something on the Moon? -Brain Aim for the sucker holes. |

Just joined this really neat forum, so this is my first post, so HEY EVERYBODY! It looks like im becoming another one of those BARS also as i was VERY active in rocketry from the 4th grade(1967) thru my middle 20s(which was a long time ago). Last weekend i helped my 2 yougest granddaughters build an alpha and another estes kit and will hopefully be launching them next month at a TTRA club field in Tampa....i also have 7or8 rockets from the old days im going to fly and i cant get over how EXCITED i am about doing this with my g-kids! I am AMAZED at how much actvity there is in the varoius forms of model rocketry these days as i lost touch with the hobby for about 20 years ....now i find myself as excited about building and flying rockets again as i did when i was a 10 year old! A few of the old rockets i have are a 30 year old Big Bertha(of course!), a Centuri Centurian, An Estes D powered V-2 (never launched) and an Estes Jupiter C, also never launched...cant wait to see em go UP! I very much look forward to sharing stories and information with the members on this forum and promise that future posts wont be so long winded!

TTRA, you say?
Quote:
Welcome Bill, Please do come to next months TTRA launch near Plant City, the one last Saturday got rained out halfway through. I am a flyer there as well, and have been in/around TTRA for the last 18 years. Just like with anyone else who meets me, you will figure out who I really am pretty quickly.... |

Welcome Bill! Children and grandchildren are a great way to get back into the hobby. I think that it's great that you are taking some of your old fleet out of "mothballs" and placed back on active duty. As long as the story is interesting, no one minds stories being a long. Greg |

Sure, low and mid power is most welcomed here. In fact, my HPR days are long behind me, mainly due to the $$$$ factor, but as you'll see there is plenty of interesting content to do with less motor. BTW, where are you from? IF you want to fly with a good solid lower power group as well, there is the Orlando ROCK section; they fly every 1st Saturday of the month. Obviously, if you live too far south of Lakeland (where I am from) then this may be too far for you. Look forward to meeting you in either case. |
