New Kits

Just emailed Jim @ FlisKits for a Drake w/a BAF 50 and a Flea....just because.

After reading here:

'Next, the engine block is inserted into the end of the BT-50, using the whack-glue-in-the-tube-and-push-block-in-with-old-engine method. I had real fun here, as the engine got stuck and wouldn't come back out. I'd never flown a 24mm rocket before, so I had to use a live engine. After 5mins of pulling with a pair of pliers, I decided that the priority was saving the engine as I got out my knife and performed surgery. Needless to say, the body tube was a write off...but after a few e-mails with FlisKits, a free replacement body tube with engine block pre-installed arrived with a Flea kit I'd ordered. Yet another good example of the superb service provided by FlisKits.'

I'm not a flyer yet, just a builder and don't have any unused 24mm rocket engines.

I meant to ask Jim @ FisKits if he could possibly send me one with the kit but forgot. :(

Would anyone please send me one for the build?

tnx....eric

Yes, I meant 'used' 24mm' engines.

Take a piece of BT-50 the same length as a D12. Slit it lengthwise, and slightly overlap the ends until it slodes inside a BT-50. Tape.

Or use a 7/8" dowel from the hardware store.

Either will be less expensive than shipping a used D12 casing.
