Spare Time in Marlborough

That's what I suspected but I did promise to ask.

I did reach out to Skip with my address. I can't resist a good deal on rocketry stuff. The Spare Time Shop has a coupon on their website for 30% off on your birthday month. www.sparetimeshop.com/Birthday2021.pdf

Not Meeting this Tuesday. It is the 5th Tuesday of the month.
Next meeting is July 6th. I will report on my trip to the METRA launch.

Spare Time is one of the best hobby shop survivors. I've been going there (intermittently) since the 80's and they've always been one of the best shops in New England. Since we're in Western Mass., they aren't exactly "local" for me and Deb, but it's been our routine to go there after every CMASS launch. I'm a little surprised to find that some didn't already know about the shop. Their rocketry section isn't "huge", but it's well stocked and has a few OOP treasures lurking. They've got Estes, Quest, Custom, and Aerotech items... plus a a great selection of building supplies and paints.

I went to the SpareTime shop today and found a GREATLY expanded display of Aerotech single use motors (including LMS G types) AND 24/40 24/60 and 29/40-120 reloads.

I purchased a few items... yes it's list price, but no shipping or hazmat at least!

I suggest you bring your launch pass to use as an ersatz "membership" card as they may ask. The fellow behind the counter was telling me how folks who overhear someone who says they're with CMASS will then say "oh yeah! Me too! and I got the distinct impression that it may be starting to become a sore point.

I was just there today, also. Thought I would go check them out.  I bought a set of E20-4W's, but forgot to ask for CMASS discount.  I had my flight badge with me, too.  When I got home I ordered a bunch of Quest engines from ASP.  I hope to fly only White Lightning engines in my scale launches on the 25th.

I noticed that their qjet inventory was somewhat depleted compared to what I saw on my previous visits... if you hadn't mentioned asp, I would've thought that you must've cleaned 'em out!
