That Ryobi blower is now on my "must get" tool list. The nearest Home Depot is about 300 yards away from my home.

Yes, I already had a butt-load of batteries and chargers so I had to buy the tool only. IIRC it was less than $30 (tool only.)

Loc-tite Red thread lock is only semi-permanent. It can be loosened for removal with heat.
Pretty sure that Loc-Tite GREEN (uncommon) is the one that resists all attempts of removal. I generally use blue for all my RC stuff when needed, except on engine parts. Those I use Red.

I'm now motivated to dust mine off and fly her again - it was always enjoyable to watch. I'll be less worried about it gliding away now that the Semroc kit is available. The Estes kits have been selling for around $100.

I just bought this kit and am starting to build it. I was wondering if there was any reason given for the over complication of the stuffer tube assembly? I know the smaller tube will give a greater compression to the ejection charge, but with the Estes power blast ejection charges, is that really an issue? When i built my original kit back in the 70's, I never had an issue with ejection and transformation to glider mode.
