(That's Yet Another Born Again Rocketeer).
Hi y'all. Thought I'd stop lurking and introduce myself. My name's Will Gwaltney, and I'm a software developer in Durham, NC. I did the rocket thing as a teen, got back into it in the early 90's in Huntsville, AL (the "Rocket City"!), and now I'm born yet again in NC. I've got 5 kids who I've introduced to rocketry, and we're going to try to make it to Whitakers in September. I've even got my wife saying she wants to build a rocket! (I must be living right...
A question: anybody know of a *big* launch site in the Research Triangle Park area? We've been going to the Carter-Finley Stadium parking lot with great success, but it's not big enough for high-altitude or staged flights (I already lost a nose-cone and parachute in the woods after a shock cord gave way...). Any suggestions would be most appreciated!
