Rocket T. Coyote's Den of Disaster

If by insane you mean creative genius, then guilty as charged.

I still take safety precautions and children love me.

Talked model rockets to a full room at a recent mascot convention held near Detroit, MI this weekend. Rambled on for 90 minutes and held a drawing for door prizes. Later, I transdogrified and wandered around the hotel.

My cameo appearance in a funny webcomic:

I gotta tell ya the lab coat and coyote outfit are hilarious So I take it you do lots of demos for kids?
Cheers

Since the 1980s, I have performed demos for local TV. Static displays at public functions like airshows. Demos for Michigan CAP since the mid-90s. The coyote is the mascot for the CAP model rocketry program here in MI since 2007. Impossible to prep rockets when suited up though, so the Yote does not actually appear during the demos much.

Out to launch--again!

Should have a write-up in Academy of Model Aeronautics magazine in February. Regards the CAP model rocketry competition here in August.

This lady on Ebay was making them a few years ago and I got her to make me that one to update my character. It's sized to my dimensions.

Here's a fuzzy coyote in his last parade of the year--also some gift art:

Holy Moley! I gotta update this thread more often...

I never understood why NASA named their moonrocket after a character from “Battlestar Galactica”.

Just kidding folks; I’m fully aware that “Apollo” was named after the character from “Rocky”.

I thought Rocky was released long after the Apollo program ceased. Anyhoo...A scene from NSL 2014 you never heard about.

Great thread this is

How many rockets does this old howler have. We have no definite answer, but we do have a good idea on the missile models...

Mr. Coyote was involved in some games recently and nearly nabbed a mad scientist. See if you can spot me. I'm wearing My Marvin the Martian "Yes, I am a Rocket Scientist" polo shirt btw.

I manage to bump into him from time to time and offer him a small gift so he doesn't always have to cap his wine bottles with tin foil.
