I am returning to rocketry after a 6 or 7 year absence. Its a sad story really, but one all too familiar. It was the day of my Level 1 flight with our local club. My EZI-65 was loaded with an H123 - flight comes and goes without a hitch, level 1 granted. Later that day I pulled out my pride and joy - a custom made 2.1" downscale Thor, with the only paint job I've ever been proud of. Loaded the G64 and there she goes, beautiful flight to apogee with a great parachute deployment. She drifts and drifts and drifts into the trees behind the field. I look around and cant even see her red chute or black / yellow paint job. I leave the field to never return (and never sent my level 1 form off...) until now. I have healed and am ready to face this. I will eventually build a 3" Thor to help with the process, but for now my wife is building a Stretch Blobbo and I am building an Estes V2. I also dug my EZI out of the garage - unscathed after 7 years.. not even a warped fin - thank goodness I glassed them.
Anyways, point is I'm back and excited to launch again soon. Looking at next weekend for the small birds, then to get my Level 1.. again. :bangpan:
