Rocketry Planet

Attention Earthlings: The LOC/Precision mother ship is looking for a few good test pilots for an important mission.

Significant earth funds have been committed to this quest.

LOC/Precision's new Roland is pumping out alien delights.

Mission - Determine best decal application and delivery system for future LOC/Precision customers.

Cost to Test Pilot - Time and Information Reporting - email report back.

LOC/Precision needs your help as a concerned rocket pilot in determining the best use of a new Roland Versa Camm vinyl printer/cutter recently purchased to enhance the product appearance.  This machine prints in full color and cuts on a variety of materials (including decals and T shirt blanks).

LOC/Precision needs to develop a good application instruction set for each application, determine the value of each set, decide on the best delivery method and evaluate the desirability of the markings prior to releasing them for sale to the earthbound public.

ONE Test Pilot Opening for each of LOC/Precision's kit models is available.

Two sets of decals for each LOC/Precision model rocket type will be offered BY PRODUCT NUMBER on a first come, first served basis.  Once the PRODUCT NUMBER is assigned, no other pilot can attempt that mission. 

One decal set will be the basic decal as printed for peal and stick application, the other will have the non-printed portions removed (process called weeding) and a reverse release paper applied which can make certain decals much easier to place but adds cost.

You will need to install a set of decals on your model, fill out the short questioner and give us your opinions.  A picture of your finished rocket and any pictures of your application method is requested along with a signed (digitally is fine) model release for us to post them on the net. 

This mission applications will are available now for those wanting to apply.  Send in your mailing address and the model you wish to submit - a list of the models and their mission availability will be posted on the LOC/Precision website - missions start March 5, 2010 and will continue until all part numbers are completed. 

We look forward to your success should you be chosen for this mission.

Is this just for the decals to put on your own LOC kit? Because I have a loc legacy but it's nit picture worthy.

"You will need to install a set of decals on your model."

I think you just get 2 decal sets, not the kit.

That was the first thing I did...include your mailing address and which rocket(s). I have the Expediter ready to build with G-10 fins. Also thinking of covering the body tubes with FG. Why not dual deploy??

I'm going for it Man!!
