Those NAVY pilots aren't going to like what you're calling them.

I have a vague recollection of reading it somewhere.



I seem to recall at one time there being an explicit prohibition of vertebrate passengers, meaning insects are OK, but not mice or goldfish.

So the question is: will Sea Monkeys be considered as insects?

They are technically brine shrimp, so they are invertabrate and cleared for flight.

In between tinkering with a few rockets today ( while waiting for glue to dry,etc ) , I have been continuing to set up my latest fish aquarium ( 20L saltwater tank, my 4th tank - and drain on rocket money, oops ) .

undergravel filter lift tube is clear plastic, so on a whim, since I have rockets within arms reach, test fit a PNC50 cone and it;s perfect... not even loose fit, the wall is a lil thicker ( should mate nicely with a 1" od BT50H ), but looks good.

surprisingly enough, in order to fit the powerhead on top and under the cover, I had to cut exactly 4" off the tube..... I smiled, as that is the common length used in many Estes kits

Now I have to find something to build

I found this website that sell 1" diameter 24"long clear tubes for $6.89 plus shipping http://www.aquariumguys.com/hydrolifts1.html. They also sell shorter length. If anyone is interested. CHief nukemmcssret
