gGreetings! I'm a U.S. Army Bosnia veteran who was launching Estes Rockets in 1981. I'm a 'BAR" because my wife and I now have a 3 and 5-year old, so getting back into it.
And interesting observation after being away for this hobby for 40 years- I've been a scale modeler all my life, and enjoy building 300-part model tanks, scratch building, converting, etc., working on a scale plastic kit for 6 months, so model rockets seem like a peace of cake- not that I'm a genius builder, but compared to a very detailed model plane with, say, 500 parts, rockets are really simple to build, I'm very pleasantly surprised to see!
Looking forward to connecting, especially on how to "build a better V2-" would love advice on the idea of updating the old Estes kit, can it be improved? Best, Christian
