Hey Tim, I was wondering if you could enlighten us all as to the status of the Dyna-wind tubing. I’m interested in trying it out in camparison to the glass reinforced tubes I’ve been making myself. And since I’ve been itchin’ to try a vertical assault for awhile, I thought maybe I could kill two birds with one stone so to speak. Anyway, any chance you’ll have any of the tubing at the next launch or at the annual meeting?

8) I do have a sample of the new Dyna-wind Tubing. I shall bring it to this weeks launch. I must say that is sure nice. It is the best production wrap I have seen.The credit has to go to the Colorado guys, Conway, James and several others helped Kent with the basic idea, and Kent altered it for production runs. There is a good supply of 2 in. and above in the Kansas warehouse. I will get prices. Also I will be doing a test launch of the new Giant Leap Kit- D’star. 54mm X 4″ tube about 50in. long. I will be flying it on a Popcan motor and a J90 if all goes well. We will be asking NCR Fliers for feedback on the new bird. Your thoughts will be helpful, as we are getting ready for a production run. One more thing, some new motors from Aero are in stock. 2 greens, J500G 38/720 and I245G 38/360. The new Fast Jacks I225FJ 38/480 and I305FJ 38/600 Lastly 2 new Kosdon 38 loads I301W-18 38/640AMW and I550R-20 38/640AMW The I550r pops a 150lbs. thrust! I will be stocking more Green, Fast Jacks and Kosdon loads as soon as Aero release them. The new G80 is in for re-certing and will be out soon. 8)

8) Here is the breakdown 3 X 48 is 49.95 4 X 48 is 56.95 6 X 48 is 84.00 7.5 X 48 is 99.00 The 3 and 4 are one wrap of 10oz glass, the 6 and 7.5 are 2 wraps of 10oz glass. We use only Areopoxy and all the tubes are heat cured. They weigh about 10% more than regular Phenolic tubes. The finish is smooth as glass. More sizes are coming. 8)

Oh, man! I need a 4″ rocket, and can’t wait to see and hear feedback about the D’Star! And, finally the AT greens! Suh-weet! Thanks, Bret, about the June launch. If I hadn’t spent a year planning and building that rocket and Art hadn’t put so much into that paint job, I just might trade you for a VA! I’ll replace that rocket with one that’s similar but 2 foot shorter, and I’ll break it in with a CTI M or L load from Tim and an N Russell Red from James. This next year is going to be a great year for flying!
