Holy cow! It's been 1 year now since launching my son's Estes Taser on an A8-3 brought me back into rocketry as a BAR.
One year ago:
I didn't know anyone other than Estes made rockets.
I didn't know there was anything other than BP motors made by Estes.
I didn't know there was such a thing as a G motor.
I was looking for something for my son and I to do outside away from computers.
Had a hair-brained idea to visit a hobby shop - hey rockets! I remember these!
Out at the park, I remembered how to load it up, put the key in, counted down, and Woooosh!
I smelled that burnt black powder smell and it all came back.:drool:
Hooked again!
We launched twice that day, I let my son press the button for the second while I recorded:

I've come far from a year ago but still have much, MUCH more ahead.
Do any of you have a BARnaversary?
