Normally launching the third Saturday of the month in Gunter, but launching tomorrow since weather is supposed to be better. First Sunday of the month in Arlington (D and less)

I hope to get all three grandsons out to a Gunter Launch sometime this summer, just so they can see what is is really all about. Maybe even an Arlington Sunday.
Welcome back to the party
@Travis NTexas ! Which kit from the 90’s ? FYI rail buttons are preferable to the quarter inch lugs that the kit probably has. One fine Texas source is

They’ll have your L1 motor too, when you’re ready.
The level 1 kit I have is a PML Small Endeavor that has not been started. I have already decided to switch to rail buttons rather than the brass lugs.
I have one Estes Baby Bertha in progress with my middle grandson, a second Baby Bertha that I will be helping my oldest grandson assemble tomorrow, and an Apogee Wayfarer so that I can slap together a kit to fly with them
I don't know how we built stuff when I was a kid without YouTube, Forums, and internet searches!
I have always wanted to build the 1/100th scale Estes Saturn V. I was looking at the current kit offerings and a few build videos one morning, then I went out to the shop and dug out my old rocket stuff. Turns out that I actually HAVE one of those kits, fully unassembled, and I have no idea when I got it or how I got it!!
I do not have the overwrap from the package with the model number, and I have not found the instructions (they would be in my blue rocket folder, that I can't find), so I don't know if it's an original kit or if it is the special release they did on the Apollo 11 anniversary. I do know that it is not the Skylab version, and that it is the 1/100 scale version.
So I will be starting that in the near future, along with my Small Endeavor. I have just about all the epoxy and other supplies I need to get started on that one.
