Hello everyone, If this is inappropriate I apologize in advance but I just don't know where to turn for some assistance here. Returning to model rocketry after a 50 year hiatus (Naval career, State Department and a failed marriage) recovering from the ravages of chemo-radiation therapies associated with the treatment of Squamous cell throat cancer. The radiation pretty much fried my head; no sense of taste, smell, or teeth, a monster case of tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and loss of definition and depth perception in my eyesight so I no longer am capable or willing to drive. I don't want to be the lead off story on the six o'clock news: "Navy veteran mows down pedestrians in mall parking lot... film at eleven!" With that said, anyone out there who lives in western Maryland (Hagerstown to Cumberland) who is a model rocket enthusiast and may be attending one of the big Maryland - Delaware Rocketry Association shoots on the Eastern Shore in October... Can I bum a ride please? Will pay for gas and lunch. Thanks. Here is my current 29mm project. Still have a lot of sanding and body prep to do but all the assembly work is done. Applied the white paint to the upper stage today so it's curing right now. The first stage will be olive drab with blue anodized fins and body for some contrast.
