No doubt, once the shipping cost is added, you pay a lot more. The local
Auto-Zone already has your price beat on the Optima top and dual post
batteries.

Re: Is a wood grain nose cone too UN-rocket?

Actually, the Army Signal Corps Aerobee number SC-23 featured a molded
plywood nosecone. The wood grain is very visible in Alway's book
"Rockets of the World" wire-bound edition, page 100, in a photo labeled
US Army photo 111-SC-400868.
In the case of the Aerobee, it is very rocket-like!

It appears you have no apparent history, posting to rec.model.rockets.
That fact leads to a question; what website?

SO, we now have TWO model rocket companies, each
making several kits with wood grain nose cones.
Maybe wood grain noses aren't so UN-rocket after
all?
Thank you, Doug!

Try a search engine like Google, rather than Wikipedia. I'd suggest
searching for NACA histories, or NACA research rockets. You may not
have much luck searching for wood grain nose cones directly. The
materials used in many of NACA's research rockets (e.g. wood) was not

Free Gasoline From Your Bank

I was looking for cheap gas in my area when I cam across this site:
[link] I got the free info and it is about how my local bank
will give me and my family up to $1000 for free gas every year. Saw
the info video and website and this is solid. Can't find anything
negative about it, so has anyone else used this?

The defunct vendor was Retro Rocket Works. They were distributed by
Apogee Rockets.
Here's a review of one:

Name one NACA rocket with a wood grain nose
and give details, please.
Many were built around surplus Recruit motors.
Yes, there was, at least, a rocket motor named "Recruit."
According to the "Little Joe" article in Wikipedia:
Recruit rocket (Thiokol XM19)
Thrust: 37,500 lbf (167 kN)
Length: 2.7 m
Diameter: 0.23 m

Too many to mention. Many were built around surplus Recruit motors.
Absolutely. In addition to many technical volumes, a number of
histories were also published.
