Your Club Needs You! to scratch build, scale model build, and do educational group builds

[Paul Pittenger]

Hello from the LUNAR parts depot,

I've been supplying ARC teams with parts for building the 2027 competition rockets - if you don't see those messages and you want to, join the lunar-arc mail list.

Other categories of stuff, mostly from donations to your LUNAR club, that I want to route to happy builders...

- Scratch built 29mm / 1.9" midpower, also 29mm and 38mm motor options for 3" airframe rockets suitable for doing a Level 1 certification or Junior Level 1.  This is what's left from what I have been helping students with for the last few years.  All airframe, payload and nose cones, motor mount, motor retention, and recovery rigging supplies until I run out.

- Bulk kits for groups, if you have a school or group we have rockets, building and flying supplies. From tiny, to normal Estes and Quest rockets, to midpower Aerotech rockets.  Tell me your story.

- Scale models - the club has several scale models that have been donated - a couple different scales of Saturn V, a Mercury Atlas (John Glenn's flight), Space Shuttles, etc.  These have been opened, looked through, or started construction so that kills the collectable value - anyway the club does not want to make money on these - we ask your promise that you not sell it, build it, and come launch it at a LUNAR launch.  These all take some advanced modeling skills and or modification from old kits / motor size changes.  So skill and experience are required but I really want to give these away and eventually see them fly.

Contact me off list - email below - if you fit any of these categories.  LUNAR parts depot is in San Mateo near 92 & 280.  I'm here for most of this week and next weekend.

To complete some oddball stuff I have, I would love to hear from any old-timer with a source or supply of Estes BT-56 (thicker wall 1.3" tubing different from BT-55, the BT-56 was used in Estes Maniac and Eliminator kits).  Another one I hope someone might have is old MPC 1.75" airframe tubes - I have not been able to find a modern alternative to fit the plastic fin parts.

Have fun building!
