Easy answer. I've got a lot of items in the queue.
Now that the Steampunk Protostar and the 2021 binge-build are behind me, I'm lining up the next series of projects for the upcoming three months.
First on the docket is an Estes Mercury Redstone kit that I've had sitting un-built in the cabinet for awhile. I've got the parts all laid out and ready to start.
I also have this Estes Booster-55 unit that was given to me by Lee Reep late last year.
I intend to run down to Hobby Lobby and pick up another Cherokee-E kit to use the parts to build a rocket using the B55. This bird will likely be a good 24mm motor powered vehicle for conducting more video cam/altimeter flights.
Alongside these, I plan to build a couple of first stage boosters to fly with some of my smaller models. These will be BT-5 and BT-20 sizes.
In addition, I plan to use up some spare body tube scraps to knock together some payload sections of various sizes.
As if this weren't enough, I did an inventory of my parachute supply and found things to be lacking there. A 'parachute- fest' is in my near future.
Also, I have noticed that a good number of my models are sitting on those cheesy old cardboard/spent engine casing stands.
Must break out the woodworking tools and fashion some more good display units.
And then there are those victims of my December 2nd launch debacle that are still awaiting repair.
Busy rocketeer.....
