Mid 90’s. Estes airwalker. Clear payload section. I was hooked ever since
Estes Star Trek Starter Kit. 1976. I was 10 years old, then. It's what got me into model rocketry. I've been hooked ever since.
I don't really remember, but I think it was a Hornet.
Of course the mosquito was a favorite. My first launch was 1972 I'm guessing.
Since my return to rocketry I have been looking through old Estes and Centuri catalogs (on the internet) and remembering the 1970's. The first rocket I ever launched was an Estes Alpha III in 1974. It was painted black, the only color of paint we had in the garage, and the nosecone and fin unit were left orange. It lasted about 4 flights before I lost it.
Just thought I would ask, what was the first rocket you ever launched?
I am still hooked.Astron Scout, 1961, wait for weeks to get it through the mail, I was HOOKED!!!
I absolutely loved that thing on a 1/2A6-2.
