Hi, I still exist \o/

[Co-leader of the LRP]

Well, it feels like it's been more than a couple of years since I last did rockets but apparently not. A lot has changed though. For example, I'm technically no longer "co-leader" since it's just me now, although I don't think you can be a leader of a group of 1 (or you can just look and see how 14/15-year-old-me's messages barely made sense half the time) (pls don't though)
Anyways, I decided to dig out my old rockets and launch them today since I remembered (correctly ) that this was fun. Three almost-perfect launches, although only two good recoveries... another sacrifice to the tree gods, I suppose. I guess I'll have to update my account signature...

unfortunately the camera's autofocus decided to focus more on the background for the astra so I guess that's the only photo I have of it, oops

We can all have a laugh ridiculing our 15-year-old selves. Welcome back!

Too bad about your Astra. What motor did you load in it?

A B4-4, I had two of those and an A8-3 left over from before.
The wind picked up right about the time I launched it. I think for next time after seeing which direction the wind is going I’ll move closer to the edge of the field the opposite way so it has as much room as possible.

That, or adjust your recovery system. Or down-power it.

There's no better way to make the wind change direction.

Welcome!

It's hip to be square...

Welcome!

Ain't that the truth!

To be fair to the camera, that is a beautiful background!

Congratulations on your continued existence!

The alternative sucks.
