Well, the title explains this thread - this is my 1000th post on TRF

I joined TRF January 19th, 2009. So over 5 years ago so a bit fewer than 200 posts per year.

Including this thread I've started 63 threads on TRF.
I also have subscribed to TRF

I have been a BAR since 1998. I've achieved my L2.

I presently have built 173 rockets. 145 are flyable (well, 4 need repair). 11 rockets were donated, 7 got ruined when we had flooding in our area, and 10 were lost to rocket eating trees and as sacrifices to the Rocket Gods.

Of these, 21 have been clones/bash/scratch. Several of these have won contests!

Unfortunately, I have trouble finding times to go launch, so for the 173 rockets I've done only 328 flights. While that does average to 2 flights per rocket a majority have only 1. There are 9 "virgin" rockets that have yet to have their chance. My most flown rocket has 7 flights. I do consider myself lucky that I've only lost 10 rockets out of 328 flights - about a 3% loss rate.

But I will have more rockets. Presently working a bash (see my super neon mosquito thread https://https://www.rocketryforum.com/showthread.php?70487-Super-Neon-Mosquito-Bash) and the 3D Rocketry Circulus 3

Plus I have over 400 kits waiting to be built..... :eyepop:
But I just can't stop myself from getting any new, cool kits

I've learned a lot from all you folks here on TRF (and YORF, ROL, RP). I do want to thank everyone who has answered my questions, shared their knowledge/opinions, and taken the time to respond to my posts.

And thanks to all the great vendors with all of their great kits.



Although I do have a question..... My last scratch build, with my "eye catching design" (https://www.rocketryforum.com/showthread.php?67599-Eye-Catching-Design-Launch) . The last post was August 24th. There have been over 1000 views since then! I know I have my settings here that TRF shows new posts since my last visit. Since there are no new posts, it should not show up. So why have there been so many views since the last post????

Thanks again
Les
 
When is the intervension and rehab scheduled for? LOL!
 
Intervention? I don't need no stinkin' intervention

I need more rockets.
and more flying time..
and more space to store everything...
and more money for all of this....
 
Rehab... I think that was meant as "rehabilitating old, damaged, rockets". Now you just need to catch up :wink:
