My First Rocket In Years

[adrienwapkaplet]

Waiting for it to stop raining. Not looking good for a Launch today.

Same boat as you are. And when it DOES stop raining my choices are... mow lawn, paint house or launch rockets.

5 Launches today! 3 on A8-3 and 2 on B4-4. This thing is crazy fast!

Very nice....looks like you have a choice place to launch....

Thanks. The Choice place is only 3/4 of a Mile down the Road, our Towns Park and after getting a feel for the dimensions of it, I think I'll be launching most of my Rockets there. Plenty of Treeless space.

Oh, and it was quite windy, so it's good that I went with the Streamer instead of the Chute'. It would have been long gone on the B4-4 if it had the Chute'.

Cool...make sure it's legal to launch there. Many towns have enacted ordinances against model rockets....it's not like it used to be years ago. Most rocket clubs have obtained waivers and permission to hold launches in municipal areas (parks)....and in lots of cases these city ordinances aren't easy to find, and a simple phone call isn't likely to get you to someone who knows. If it is legal for you, consider yourself very lucky indeed....

We don't even have Police in my Town, and it's a tiny Town of about 1000 Rednecks. Our only Ordinance is for Noise, and that does'nt take effect til' 10pm. I learned this awhile back while shooting my 56mm Cannon, but it was'nt like anyone called the State Police, I just got told about it the next day.
Oh, and I've seen others there flying RC Planes/Copters and one other person flying Rockets.
