Hobby Lobby has rockets half price again this week.
Which reminds me I missed their plastic model sale a couple weeks ago...

To Hell with Hobby Lobby. Support the vendors who really help drive this
hobby. Places like Hobby Lobby and Wal-Mart don't give a rat's a$$ about
whether this hobby survives or not and when all the good vendors are gone do
you think you're going to walk in to HL or W-M and pick up that Dr. Rocket
hardware or that H motor?

As I have said before despite a cacophony of objection. Pay retail on
purpose. Support your favorite vendor, your closest vendor, your highest
service vendor.
Do not buy on price alone.

Thanks for the reminder Bob! Verna saw your post and went there on her lunch
break. She picked up the last Saturn V they had for $44.50! That brings our
total of unopened kits to 5.
You have to love a wife who believes that you can't be too thin, too rich or
ever have too many Saturn V's.

I do not buy on price alone. I buy from Hobby Lobby, and Wal Mart
because they are the ONLY local place I have to purchase rocketry items
without having to drive 3 to 4 hours. For any thing bigger than Questes
stuff, I mail order, or buy from the few vendors at launches I've attended.
I, for one, am thankful for HL, and WM carrying rockets. If they didn't, I
wouldn't have resparked an interest in the hobby, along with many others,
I'm sure. Yes, I take advantage of the sales, one would be a fool not to.
Magnum regularly runs sales on AT motors, and other mid and high power
items. Do people not buy sales items from them? I think they do.

Just curious, how many of the Sat V's are in a case??
BTW, I've got 2 of them, one opened, one still sealed. Can't seem to decide
how I want to build. Stock, clustered, 29mm. I'm leaning toward stock,
with a better mmt tube, to fly on 24mm E and F reloads only. I've never
"personally" witnessed a stock flight on a D12 that didn't prang. Didn't
someone try one at NARAM45 on an E9 for a power prang? An E9, with 4 C out
boards would be pretty cool.

Waaahhh!! I miss model rocketry...
now all I can do is spend NT$50 on a roman candle (thats a buck fifty US)
just so I can be shooting stars at tamsui river... or go out in the boonies
and find someone selling bottle rockets.
