Argh! I was typing the list and I answered the phone. When I came back to Patreon it was gone. 😫 Let’s just say my build pile is huge. I can do a video of it but I’m not going to type it all out.

On the front burner, is everything I’m working on for NSL West and BALLS 33. First up being L Padre Sr, a 4” min diameter Estes Big Daddy flying on a CTI L3150 Vmax for NSL. Continuing with the Big Daddy train is a 5” version going to BALLS 33 flying on an N800. Also going out to BALLS is a project I’m working on with a friend where we static fired the motor this past BALLS. It’s an N3100 that we’re going to try and crack the 100,000’ mark with. My back burner has a couple more tame rockets in a 3” Wildman Darkstar and 4” Madcow Black Brandt II

Patrick Morrison

I'm probably forgetting a few, but this is what I have off the top of my head: Almost done: Mom Said Yes (originally a BALLS project, done-ish but not flown yet) Contractually Obligated (3” diameter tube fin built from McMaster shipping tubes, almost done) Binder Design Raptor (been ~70% done for about 14 years) Started: Which Wich (made from a stack of plastic drink cups, 54mm motor mount, ~20% done) It Is That Complicated (a replacement for “It’s Not That Complicated”, tubes purchased) Hybrids Are Evil (3D printed rocket for 29mm hybrids, ~80% done) Next Up on the List: L3 Project (almost started) Estes Alpha (kit purchased, going to convert to electronic deployment) Smol Cat (38mm Mojave Sphinx) Maybe Someday: Dozen or so assorted Estes kits A few plastic wire spools begging for a J350 Experimental Motor Builds: Weird Micro Hybrid fuels (pringles and pumpkin done, few dozen ideas to go) Custom pringle reload for 29mm Skyripper Hybrid "Almost Normal" 24mm Hybrid (metal parts done, just need to make the grain and fire it) Smol Cat (in the design phase) Less Tiny Liquid (29mm liquid, design done and parts ordered) Micro Liquid (18mm liquid, design done and parts ordered)

It's not really part of the build pile but I just bought a used mixer and have been prepping myself to start mixing motors.

Bernard Ormsby

For Bild-December, have a L3 build of a Demon 5, and for fun a Punisher 4, a Mach 3, just have to buy some more 75 mm motors

Kristopher Hull

In the build pile I have about 60 Estes, Semroc, Rocketarium, and Quest kits, and then a SBR Thor, LOC T-LOC, and parts for a few 4” 54mm scratch builds on the drawing board. On the work bench being built, I just started my clone of the BSD Thor that is being built with LOC preglassed 4” airframes, and will have a 75mm mount with 3/16 G10 fins cut by Wildman. I also have a Wildman 3” Darkstar that is in the early stages of the build process. Then there are next years Balls projects… it will be my first trip to Black Rock, and I am working on a couple of min diameter birds, a 54mm and a 75mm.

Highlights are BOSS, Great Goblin, Der Big Red Max, Doorknob, boosted bertha, Commanche and the mini, Redstone, Lil Joe II, something Transporter that has a paracite glider. I have Quest Quad Runner and Minotaur, Aerotech Mustang. I have LOC 1.6 Black Brant X, 2.2 IRIS, the new stealth rocket #780, 5.5" IRIS, Madcow Go Devil, a scratch build 29mm minimum diameter using LOC parts, a 4" and a 2" scratch build using Aerotech parts, not sure what those will look like, I just got a deal on a bunch of tubes and parts. I have a Rocketarium SS-520 cluster, some Custom Rockets kits for clusters Land Viper and one other I think. A couple egg lofters, Estes Green Eggs, Quest Courier and one from Custom, don't recall name. I have a couple rocket gliders from Semroc, the Hawk and Swift. Theres more, but I'd have to look thru the boxes of kits. I think I have an SR-71 , a Fat Boy and a Condor in a box or tub.

Level 3. I'm Building a 4" IRIS for level 2 in the spring. 🤞 I had to also acquire the 2.2" IRIS to complete the set.
