Ben Dawson has decided to back out of rocketry, and stick to RC aircraft. Had to choose one or the other. He is offering up all his rocketry items for sale. Has several built rockets and rocket parts, all low power. Includes a Mean Machine and a half-size Mini-Mean Machine. He has put a lot of work into the the construction and finish on these, and they look real good. Also has a supply of Estes motors, from B to E. He can be reached at 863-425-2245.

LOC has started a trial program where they are offering free decals for their rocket kits. If anyone has or is building a LOC kit, log onto www.rocketsbymelissa.com and click on the Test Pilot Mission tab. There are a number of kits that are still waiting for someone to sign up for the test. There is no cost involved, all LOC asks is that you apply them, and let them know how well they work. And if possible, send a photo of the completed rocket. They know there are a few bugs, and this is how they intend to work out the problems prior to offering the decals on a routine basis.

I signed up to test a couple, and received them within 4 days. They are well printed on heavy self-stick vinyl. I ran into a problem on the 1st set, when I noticed I was short 1 fin decal. When I reported this to LOC, I was told I would have an entire new set next week.

Next test is to see how well they stick during flight. See you there.
