What did you buy yourself today?

[Rocket-Fan]

Show/talk about your recent purchases. Kits, motors, parts, equipment, anything model rocketry related . . .

 

[Rocket-Fan]

Stopped by Hobby Lobby while out and about this afternoon. Picked up a box of A8-3s and a Tigres . . .

 

[darrenf]

54MM Aerotech casing from Wildman and a handful of reloads for it.

 

[Rob Campbell]

Two AT J315 and two AT H123 reloads from Wildman.

 

[Sooner Boomer]

Stopped at the local Hobby Town. Picked up some thin CA and hardener, plus some Evergreen plastic tubing. Size 224 can be tapped #4-40 to make insulated standoffs. 225 slides over the threads.

 

[Lotronex]

It was yesterday, but I bought a Bambu P1S. My hope is to be able to design and print the a sled and enclosure for all my EggFinder stuff before LDRS.

 

[bad_idea]

Some 38 and 54mm Aerotech cases - all duplicates, but I'm starting to think about clustering larger motors - and some small stainless steel hardware for the next revision of my 98mm Estes clusters.

 

[KB4SMK]

Sorry I didn’t read the whole thing
It was to be rocket related

 

[SolarYellow]

Another 0.3mm mechanical pencil and some 2B lead to try out.

 

[bad_idea]

some small stainless steel hardware for the next revision of my 98mm Estes clusters.

Of course I found some missing nuts this morning that I'd ordered replacements for yesterday.

 

[John Kemker]

Some RCS 24mm casting tubes and liners. Oddly, though you can order the casting tubes in 29.9" lengths, the liners only come in 2.2" lengths. Hmmm.

EDIT: I also renewed my Tripoli membership for another year.

Every. Time.

 

[bjphoenix]

Another 0.3mm mechanical pencil and some 2B lead to try out.

That will be very fragile.

I have an infrared thermometer on the way, to see which fuel compositions run hot or cold. I don't know if it will work on such tiny motors, though. Perhaps I should get some thermocouple wire, but I don't know which wire could handle aluminum-melting temps and have a low mass so it would respond quickly. I have something that can probably read it, but it might be worth getting something more convenient.

 

[SolarYellow]

The IR will not do a good job reading flame temperature. The luminescence will throw it off.

 

[Rocket-Fan]

100# and 150# kevlar line . . .

 

[les]

Got one of a limited run of the NewWay USS Element

 

[SolarYellow]

Moar spray paint.

 

[John Kemker]

Moar spray paint.

Yellow?

Today, I bought a mat detangling comb for my cats. Little Lagertha has some matted fur that I need to deal with.

 

[SolarYellow]

Yellow?

Yes. Two more yellows, in fact. And a pink and a grey.

 

[bjphoenix]

Yes. Two more yellows, in fact. And a pink and a grey.

Maybe it was supposed to be a joke... should have been spelled MORR spray paint.

 

[Blast it Tom!]

A nose cone for my grandson's MPC Cadet Cruiser (Porky Pig) and a Jolly Logic Chute Release, primarily for my brother-in-law's V2.

 

[lakeroadster]

Ordered 17 Aerotech Motors from Sirius Rocketry in sizes from E30 to G74.

 

[Rocket-Fan]

A few Rocketry Works Socrates kits from Rocket.Supplies.com . . .

 

[bad_idea]

Yesterday actually, but I ordered more Estes motors and MJG BP starters to feed my 98mm cluster habit.

 

[John Kemker]

Ordered a couple of 2S LiPo batteries for my new SkyDancer Rocketry AvBay Sled and a shop apron with lots of pockets/clips/etc.

 

[Rocket-Fan]

My order from Mach 1 rocketry arrived. BT50 Patriot and, because I like a challenge, a BT20 min. dia. Exciter kit. Purchased the build/fin guides too. These will be my first fiberglass builds and my first min. dia. build, Looking forward to it!

That is very cool, please do a build thread!

 

[Azamiryou]

Some parts I needed for an upcoming rocket build

 

[Art Upton]

I ordered Citation Patriot Fins/Rings for one of the 2 Big Red Max kits I have.
That will make a nice 3" rocket. I already have a 3" tube and coupler in stock already.
