When in doubt... build hell-for-stout!
Howdy Folks. I'm retired and looking to get back into model rocketry. My first experience was building an Estes Alpha back in the mid 1960's that I bought with my allowance money. I then started building other kits and designing my own too. I built my last rocket around 1978.. it was a home made SR-71 looking sled that had wheels and a custom launch track.
At one of my last jobs we designed and built an oxygen vaporizer for NASA that is currently at launch site 38B at Cape Canaveral, and also an Oxygen Densifier that sits at the Wallops Island launch facility.
We also did testing for Boeing of the hydrogen tanks used on Phantom Eye HALE High Altitude, Long Endurance unmanned aerial vehicles. https://www.boeing.com/defense/phantom-eye/
If I may, I'm hoping to learn what's new in model rocketry, since the mid 1970's and then design a build some models.
Thanks again,
John
