Hey, rocketeers!
Woke up one day and was like ... "I want to build a big rocket!"
And so a couple of weeks later... here I am! (Girlfriend thoroughly unimpressed)
On the serious side, I've launched 1 rocket ONCE with a friend's father when we were about 10 years old. Probably an Estes. Was definitely lower power. Was cool but that's all I've been exposed to. Doesn't appear to be any clubs around here and rocketry was otherwise non-existent in my life. Now in my late 20s, I decided to pick up the hobby so it's all very new to me (Oh the wonders!).
I've decided to take the plunge straight in and get started with MPR. Don't see much use playing around with the LPRs. Hope to someday move up to HPRs! Currently looking at building a launch controller and various pad options. Leaning towards starting with some Aerotech rocket kits. I'm an avid hobbyist with some background in amateur radio, 40k modelling, audiophilia, computer systems, airsoft, airguns, backpacking, MTG, fish keeping, poetry, tea snobbery, violin, and much more. Grew up reaching the heights of the Canadian Air Cadet program with a keen interest in aviation. Certified as a power engineer but now happily working in finance. Oh, and I'm Canadian, eh! So that's a little about me.
Looking forward to connecting with people through the forums and expanding my knowledge! Hoping this forum proves to be a safe, educational, and valuable space for a noob like me to learn and pass knowledge.
