Latest project

Getting ready to go to a big national event rocket launch. We are bringing a couple dozen high powered.

Recently we built this launch trailer to launch the bigger beasts. This one is about 60 lbs 12 ft tall and has seven motors. (An L, 4 G and 2 H)

The sucky part is I have surgery tomorrow so I will only be able to sit around and watch my buddy prep everything. Not allowed to lift anything over 10 lbs and will be doped up all week lo

Not that high. 2400 ft or so

We will have some high fliers too though. And some supersonic.

Survived surgery. Still feel horrible. Shouldn't have went on this trip but had to go. Two trailer tires separated on my fifth wheel and a rock broke the windshield on my truck. lol But I am still alive.
