Clone Parts Packs

I have mine! Nice parts pack for a great price. Now I just have to build it ;) .

I don't want to hijack this thread again, but this brings up a sensative subject.

Laser cut fins or not?

The 2 guys I use for clone packs are Semroc and Thrustline. Both supply great products, have wounderful customer service, and are very fast. The only diferance is that Semroc uses laser cut fins and Thrust line supplies raw balsa stock. I have always felt a little guilty building with laser cut fins, cutting the lumber is part of building classic rockets. On the other hand what is proved but taking the extra time to trace/cut fins? It just adds time and is not like it proves anything.

Maybe I'm lazy, but I seem to build the laser cut packs before the non-laser cut packs, I still feel guilty though.

Mark, that question is as old as sand itself. A debate that will go on far into the future (along with "plastic, or balsa nose cones?")
I have original kits that have both laser cut and manual cut balsa parts. It all depends on what YOU want. You shouldn't feel guilty no matter which way you choose.

Here's a couple pic of mine.

First pic is of my clone. Next is a pic of parts for a 339% upscale that we will offer as a kit
soon . We hope to have it ready for release at NSL.

Nice pic of the parts for the upscale! Looks like it should be a winner. What are the specifications of the completed kit, and what motor(s) will be recommended? And, of course, the targeted price? I've just sent my $20 registration fee yesterday, so I guess
I'll be seeing you and the others come Memorial Day weekend...
