Awesome Bob

That's the first picture I've seen of the actual production version of this sounding rocket, and in original NARAM-16 colors - very nice!

I like the way you reproduced the .10 exposed portion of the connector to the payload section, just like the original red part would have looked. Nice touch. It's awesome to see the 1340 exactly as you remember it from NARAM-16. I've never actually had the opportunity to view one of the originals ......

Although I'm still on crutches from surgery last month I hope to get some work done on my EnerJets and ARG Prototypes this weekend if I can tolerate it.

As far as EnerJet decals I can offer information about what I have been able to procure from online vendors and what you can expect for your $$$

I'm still every bit as hyped today about EnerJet sounding rockets as I was June of last year when I began ordering my decals, and I can tell you that both Excelsior and Tago Papa made me very nice reproductions. The set Phred sells were made from a scan I sent to him via email that I obtained from AAA Model Aviation Fuels back in the 80's and came out very nice. I sent Tango Papa the same scan and he also provided a nice sheet. Not sure if Phred offers it but from Tango Papa you can also request the 110# decal paper - it sits down nice and doesn't tear as easy as the thinner stuff. One thing that you will notice, and it didn't occur to me until AFTER I ordered from both vendors is the sheets do not include a large red/black lettered version of the logo. This is because the sheet I scanned from AAA did not include it. I do have a waterslide of the larger red/black logo but obviously it isn't an original because of the AeroTech logo on the same waterslide. That decal has letters approx. 3/4" in height - I wonder how close that is to your original?

I do have some vinyl reproductions of the 3/4" red/black that was done by Dave Rose with Graphix & Stuff when I found their ad in SR a few months ago. They are somewhat expensive but man vinyl is soooooo nice to apply and extremely durable. If any forum member wants a high res scan of the EnerJet AeroTech waterslide decal that I own, please email me off forum and I will send to you via email. Anyway, low res scans below (low res so as not to disservice the vendors) of what you can expect with your orders. The Nike-Ram sheet is also from Phred from a scan I emailed to him last June and there are enough decals to finish 5 Nike-Rams on a single sheet! Well worth the $$$ Phred is charging for these.

You know Bob, I'm going to be really bummed if you don't post some flight pictures of your EnerJet rockets from NARAM this year .....

Thanks for the compliment.

I'll post how the flights turn out. With pictures.

If I'm lucky, I'll be posting from the NARAM hotel.

Default More 1340 Goodness

After presenting my 'flight' 1340 model to Lee and Betty Piester at NARAM-48, I decided I will build another one in this paint scheme. I want to fly it, again, at NARAM-49 and it's less than one year from now! I have got to hurry.

I've already started...

Bob

I knew all those Bed, Bath & Beyond mailings we get were good for something!
