    found rockets @ Black Rock

    Not sure where to post this.

    There were a couple of rockets found out at Black Rock during Mudrock..

    The first one looks to have been out there a while. It's a 54mm min dia with some home made electronics in it. http://s299.photobucket.com/albums/m...ent=found1.jpg

    The other one is an estes rocket.

    It was not to bad, A 98mm min dia cabron fiber rocket. At the time it must have been one of the first carbon jobs around. The sun and weather took it's tool on the carbon fiber and epoxy. The 98mm Aerotech motor looked good to go!

    Yep that's mine. It was a leftover rocket from last years physics class. Go ahead and enjoy it, maybe we'll see it fly again next mud rock!

    (each year I have about 15 or so unwanted rockets from my physics classes. I then take them out to black rock where they can fly free and fly high!)

    That is the reason that I take a Sharpie marker and put my name and cell phone number on the streamer or parachute. If someone is nice like you, you will get it back. I started this way back in the day after I lost my first rocket. Fortunatly I have only lost two, the second loss had my name and phone, but no recovery of that one. My guess is someone liked more than me. With a cell number you can meet in a public place and not your home or their home.
    Good Luck and Happy Flying
