Blushingmule, Nice review.

And that's a very, very cool yardstick. Same age as I, and in great shape.

Second that on the yardstick. I was going to comment on that as well.

Nice review, too!

Guys,

Glad you liked the review.

I have a yardstick/ruler collection from over the years; some modern, some old, some betwixt.

FWIW, there's a fiberglass tape measure in use here from Wally World's sewing section that is most handy;
i.e. need to mark the LL position between 2 fin marking lines? Wrap, pinch, count /adjust, done!
I believe the 'glass tape measure idea came from JeffyJeep here.

Bob

Bob,

Will you be attending NARAM-65?

If so, you can wear your DRM t-shirt.

Attached are 2 quick pics of the instructions. Only 2 pages.

It?s a nice pad, especially for ARC teams and mid power. Only concern is that the blast deflector appears a bit puny.

Here are some pics - 1 shows the triangular notches used to angle the pad and another shows how the rail halves are held together.

Hi Bill,
Nice pics! Thank you for sharing! Not to worry, we all have our own piles of "rocket junk". Yours looks much more organized than some.

Really like your EGGSPLODER.

I modified the decal on my Semroc SLS Explorer to read "ExploDer".
