Well, it's certainly a great time of year to be a rocketeer! There have been many great deals on rocketry related items in the past few weeks. The Source had Estes engines on sale for $6.29 a pack. I pretty much cleaned out both Chatham stores then ordered more online, for a total of 26 packs. Amazon had some great prices on Estes bulk rocket packs, so four boxes arrived at my door recently (free shipping, of course!) to use with my classes, Girl Guides, and Pathfinders. Some of the engines are for those groups as well. I also took advantage of another Estes website clearance and picked up a bunch of Reflector and Cosmic Explorer kits for less than $5 each. These might appear at future SWARM launch as giveaways--I haven't planned anything for them yet. Black Friday usually brings some great prices from many smaller U.S. manufacturers and dealers and this year was no exception. I stayed up late Thursday to nab two Formula 54 kits from The Rocketry Warehouse. At half price, I figured it was time for my first fibreglass experience. (The second kit is a gift--can't say for whom yet!). Unfortunately, I slept in for their Door Buster Special on Saturday and missed out on their $50 kits for $20. I guess there's always next year.
