I will confess to having been going through a bit of a midlife crisis for the past 5 years (or maybe more lol). This has led to a lot of introspection based primarily on the facts that A) at some point I will get old if I'm lucky enough to get that far and B) die. Both facts suck, but that doesn't not change their validity.
So this got me to thinking that I should put together something like a bucket list. Bands I want to see. Vacations I want to go on. Foods I want to try. Ways to make the world a better place. And I know it sounds silly, but rockets I want to build and fly and maybe even events I want to attend, ie, NARAM.
This is still in it's initial phase of development, but I think I have a few rocket-related goals that I would like to see go on the "bucket list".
1) Build and fly a LOC K-Load. This is a classic. I think the AeroTech L400 would be the right motor.
2) Build and fly an AAA Model Aviations Fuels Magnum PA Crude. Yes, I have one in the garage. I have a pile of AAA stuff .
3) Start a blog based around vintage mid-power and high-power rockets/kits/launches/etc.
4) Build and fly my super cool KopterRockets Pterosaur - https://www.kopterrockets.com/
5) Pick a NAR contest event and participate in it. The smaller, nerdier, and more technical, the better.
6) Write an article for Sport Rocketry magazine.
How about you guys and gals? What do you want to build/fly/experience in this hobby before your time is up?
