Yes. Use Firefox rather than Safari. This applies to both iOS and MacOS. No idea why, but Firefox does work on both platforms and Safari doesn’t for BMS’s site.

I have no problems with Safari at BMS, though I usually use Chrome.

I bought and built the FSI Viking and the Alway ARCAS. I have just started the Big Bertha trio. The date on the USPS stamp is from 2009! Why ruch in to these things?

I have what I think is one of their Astron Invader kits also.
Looks neat, but from all the flight reports I have seen, it should be a "Shelf Queen" if built.

I have a Mars Snooper I started many months ago. I’ve finally got some free time to devote to rocket building, so I’ll get going on it again. (It is snowing today — a good day to get started.)

I have a couple of the little Bomarc kits as well, packed away with another 150 or so kits awaiting their chance to get built.

Just finished construction of the BMS 24MM 3 inch school rocket. It's in primer waiting on paint. Kit was built entirely with Thick and Quick and the rocket is solid. I purchased the 1 inch at the same time but haven't had a chance to put that one together.

I was so impressed with the quality of the 3 inch that I called them to buy a second one and was told that they have a 29mm version of the 3 inch so I purchased that one instead. . I received it but I have a few rockets in the pile ahead of it.

Very happy with the rockets and the quality of their other parts

I have two of the rocket racks. Mine are the fiber models. When painted, the two versions should look the same. I chose the fiber so I didn’t have to seal the grain. They are very sturdy. Oddly, these two differ. The one in the foreground has a shorter leg than the one in the background. I might have cut one down, I just don't recall. I built these 10 plus years ago (judging by the dust on them!).

Note that the angled brace could be turned around if you want the dowel to point straight up.

These are nice racks. I keep meaning to buy a 5-pack.

At one time, either BMS or SEMROC offered two sizes of racks, iirc.
