Building some models after many years

Howdy !

I built a few of the Estes rockets, waaaaaaaay back in 1977 . The last one was a duel stage thing of beauty ! The first (and only ) time it flew.... it went up--- up --- up---- and neither stage deployed ! It came down --- down --- down --- and into a VERY TALL tree. ( no hope of climbing up after it )  I "visited" it breifly in 1982 ..... yep! still there !

Welcome to the Forums Mike! Glad to have you aboard.

You have come to the right place. The members here are very knowledgeable and ready to help out with any questions/problems that you might have. Just post the question in the section related to your question and you will get all the help that you need. I learn something new almost every day.

I've been building models of all types for 71 of my 77 years along with the other usual hobbies of R/C planes, sail boats & cars, rockets, trains, hunting & target shooting, and others. My favories are WWI & WWII planes followed by sailing ships. I'll build anything that strikes my fancy and my wallet says OK.

Enjoy. Don't be afraid to ask for help. We've all been there at one time or another. Don't forget to post pics of your builds.
