Wow, I won! I'm surprised after all the lobbying that Tater did! ;-)

I guess I'll take the hybrid set from Propulsion Polymers. (Now I'll have to build a rocket for it!)

Geez only 8 more points I needed! just three first place votes! well, this definetly was a close one.

Aerospace Speciality Products Gift Certificate Shadow Composites Three Video Set

why these? I already have a 4" LOC IV a Magnelite kit, too many 2.6" kits. I have two of arts saucers (one specifically for microhybrids), the three video set will be my start into composites, the gift certificate will go towards Hagertys spaceship handbook (and no, zak, you can't borrow it)

yeah, and someone had to push you kicking and screaming to do that!

now you need to set your goals a bit higher :)

lobbying? I was only trying to promote Descon to the public and get more people interested in rocketry (pssss, wanna buy a bridge?)

Don't expect such an easy walk in the next descon, this time i'll apply myself!

dang! I really wanted that. I wanna see pics when the rockets done. maybe an upscale cosmotrader?

I would like to thank al the vendors who dontated prizes, EMMR, and all those who voted, for me or others!

...err, it's EMRR. And to ensure that all are aware, EMRR is not the holder of the contest (since some disagree with some of EMRR's activities).

Nick (of EMRR) is simply the administrator and webwriter for this RMR Descon because it wasn't seeming to get started.

Now, back to your original programming....

Congratulations, Doc.

Please privately e-mail me your mailing address, and I'll get that stuff off to you sometime next week. My office is currently undergoing a complete re-org (read that as de-clutter/delouse of the century :-( ). I'm feeling generous, so rather than the promised single reload with this, I'll give you two--one for each motor case size.

Just remember who gets your rockets off? Propulsion Polymers, that's who :-)

That's great, Thanks Marcus! In fact, I'll use it to build my next DesCon entry! (Mentioned in another post)

Thanks again to Marcus, all the other vendors who generously donated prizes, and especially Nick. Nick busted his but putting this together and put up with all out nonsense!

I guess it's my turn again. I'll take the BSD Horizon. With some glass, that puppy should scream on a J350.

Thanks again to all the vendors...

I was thinking of doing just that. Perhaps I'll upscale the Cosmostrader for the Propulsion Polymer hybrid and enter it in Descon 13.

It looks like the group is going for anything goes!

Well, it looks like my turn to pick. I'll take the PML Explorer. This will be my entry into LMR, 29mm, and Quantum Tubes.

Tater, mind if I join you guys in Caddott some time to fly it? I don't think my neighborhood soccer field will handle this bad boy.

I would also like to offer my thanks to the prize donors, RMR voters, and to Nick for running the contest.

Also my congratulations to all the entrants for the many fine designs. This was a fun learning experience.

-- Bob Cox

Stuart,

Please e-mail me privately with your mailing address for the Iris Kit. The donator wants to remain Anonymous.

Thanks, Nick

Looks like I'm up for the next two picks.

I'm hemming. I'm hawing.

I'll go with

RocketFlite Ignitor Set

and

USRockets Miniroc 1.2

This is my first DesCon entry, and I'm amazed at the quantity and quality of the prizes available. My thanks to all the contributors!

ScottE

I choose the Thrustline Aerospace Mighty Mike!

That leaves Zak and Dick with an AAW Prize each.

Nick
