How did you get into rocketry? |
As a young lad I
followed Mercury, Gemini and Apollo plus I read comic books. I saw an ad
for a real flying rockets in an issue of the Fantastic Four, or was it
Daredevil. Got my Dad to mail in the money and received two tumble
recovery rockets, motors and launch rod. I was hooked. |
|
|
|
Why did you join
SoAR? |
I like to be
involved with groups that encompass the whole range our hobby has to
offer. The members of SoAR are interested in flying scale, micros,
gliders, oddrocs, midpower, high power, old, new. It doesn't matter,
someone is doing it and having a blast. |
|
|
|
Anything else? |
A few years ago I started a new rocket-related company - LawnDart Rocketry - to sell
kits and other items. |
|
|
|
Where do you shop for rockets? |
I
really like to get things in the mail, so I order stuff from a lot of
web-based, mail-order places. |
|
|
|
What is your next step in Rocketry? |
Currently
redoing a high power, two-stage scale model. Also have a few LawnDart
Rocketry kits in prototype stage, Hoping to release them this Spring. |
