I'm sure you've seen the video on youtube of the B-29 gasser dropping a rocket powered X-1 right?? It's AMAZING!!! Yeah, you have a point about multiple forums. I've found there ARE a few very knowledgeable people that for one reason or other have their favorite forums and tend to stick with them. In the same vein, some folks refuse to go to certain forums for their own reasons, some shared and reasonable, some not. I guess that's true with a lot of things. I certainly have my favorites as you can tell from my post, primarily here and RP, but I don't "discriminate" even though I often shake my head and laugh at some of the stupidity that goes on elsewhere. Wait til you see the drama of a "Sheri-gate" like we recently had, primarily on RP after TRF went into "lockdown mode" again... LOL Having been burned on TRF myself over nothing I see some folks point, but I try to be equitable and see both sides of it. Anyway, some forums tend to more 'drama' than others, and thankfully there's little of that here most of the time. I generally crosspost everything substantial that I bother posting (mostly build threads on Dr. Zooch stuff, as I'm most impressed with his kits and have almost all of them-- I need to get started on another one soon but I've been working on farm-related stuff recently and now with school starting back up, it's kinda hectic... but soon... When I ask a question, I like to make sure that I get as much coverage as I can-- who knows when the person with JUST the information you need is on here, but does not go to TRF, or vice versa-- is on TRF and not here... if I didn't post my question here I'd never get the answer if they refuse to go to TRF (and there are more than a few who DO refuse!) So, at the risk of repetition, I like to cover my bases... Do a search and I'm sure you'll find a lot of information on Dr. Zooch kit build threads around here-- and be sure and post lots of pictures of what you're doing. We ALL like pics!!! One thing I've found is that I usually compose my build threads on TRF, then "copy and paste" them to post them over here and at RP. The reason I do that is because TRF's vbulletin software automatically resizes my pictures for my (generally set my camera to 5 Mpixels for rocket shots) and then all I have to do is open them in a second tab, save them back to the hard drive with a "r" suffix on the filename, and instant resized pics ready to go on YORF and RP, without bothering to do it myself. Works for me! Anyway, in addition to the build threads, I write up a launch report for our local NAR section, Challenger 498, which flies off my farm here in TX. I crosspost those too to RP, YORF, and TRF. VERY cool X-1 by the way-- just BEGGING for a rocket motor install... OL JR
