You know, I carried a camera in my pocket all weekend and I didn't think to snap some shots of Jon's new goodies.
Thanks for thinking to do this! (Looks at NARCON schedule.) Hah! I've been calling him Jon, and you've been calling him Bowen. I just checked the schedule and it's John Boren. |

Any word on the status of A8-0 and A10-0T motors?
Somebody flew an A10-0T at our club launch on Saturday and nobody thought anything of it. We all just assumed they had been recertified already. I just checked the NAR site and it was not on the certified motor list (not updated since Oct 2010.) Did I say I hate the OOP motor rule? Bill |

Tube Cutters
Sizes from BT5, 20,50 55, and 60 This is a slick tool . Mark tube to be cut, Insert BT into part one of the Tube cutter, slip part two onto BT slid both half of cutter down to marked line and snap the two half's together this will lock the cutter to the tube . Then grab your hobby knife, rotate tube with knife placed against the guide. The design makes it a lot harder to cut yourself if you slip. After my second try I had a perfectly cut tube John Ludwig

Interesting...anything to support the inside of the tube while cutting? Or was the pressure applied from outside sufficient? Interesting, yet limiting that it only works with a few standard tube sizes. Bill |

I see no need for support inside the tube the design works great but I would use a new sharp blade. I hope Estes will decide to make one for a Bt80 tube. John Ludwig
