It's been a little while since I last posted. A week after we launched my Estes Prowler for the first time, my son was born, so I've been on diaper duty for a while.
Anyway, a few weeks ago my 9 yr old daughter and I were able to get out and do a handful of low power launches, including my Maxi Alpha 3. It's about what I feel safe doing in the field next to my place. Even so, the bug to get the Prowler back out is fairly strong, and I find myself wanting to check out a new mid-power build. I am debating some of the Estes ProII series, such as the Ventris, as well as some of the Aerotech kits. I was thinking it'd be fun to have a rocket that is taller than my daughter. Given that she's growing like a weed, it's hard to keep up. She's about 52" tall at the moment.
So any advice? I'm a competent model builder, so kit complexity doesn't bother me. So far the Prowler and the MA3 are my biggest kits.
