We were finally able to attend a launch last weekend. We had a blast launching several rockets and talking with members from the club. We launched a few F's in the Ventris and Aerotech rockets, even my first attempt assembling reloads worked great. Putting the Aerotech reloads together went smooth and even cleaning the case was no problem. Kids launched a bunch of Estes, actually the kids launched everything! Only rocket needing repairs is the Mean Machine, the chute grabbed the back fin and ripped it off, then my daughter accidently stepped on the lower section of it. I always seem to have trouble with that rocket one way or the other. Lol

Next on the agenda, build a custom launch control, already ordered all the parts just waiting on a few switches to be delivered and the lipo pack.

Pictures required John . Always one bad penny rocket in the bunch :lol:

[Grimracer]

Got some flying in with the CIA yesterday.. (13)..

Here are a few pics..

Randy Millican (railbuttons.com) sent us a new 3/4" rail and some buttons.. FANTASTIC.. for sure I will be building my 24mm rockets using the from now on. They work great. No more rocket spinning on the rod. Truth is they could be used on most all low power rockets.

I flew my Mike Dorfler signed goony (I built this when I was about 13).. and my old Little Joe II.. as well as the Corvette!

Great stuff Grim, I have been considering buttons on my next builds as well. Looking like the Vette has a little road rash- what happened ?
