As someone who puts card model rockets out there for free, and I am working on another site, I cannot begin to tell you the satisfaction received form an email form someone- ANYONE! To build a static model with instructions, can take weeks. The REGULUS-2 took me 2 months. The SCUD missile- 2 weeks to make a beta, another month of R/D, and then anothr 1.5 months for final design/instructions. All comments, good or bad, helps me to know what does/does not work. The only e-mails I get about my designs, are form other designers. That is great in of itself, many of them, the name familiar to you card builders here, and I have become good E-pals, and work together sometimes, or just B.S.
Sadly, I have yet to hear back form anyone who has built a HIGH FLYING CARDS rocket kit, just to build it, and I have heard form no-one, except one beta tester about how they fly!
SERIOULSY! The most I've heard, is from one well known model rocket person, and all he said was that he had bult and flown a few of my designs. When I worte back toask which, and how they did.... ZIP! Just static. It is hard to know what to fix, change, improve, or make other things similar to what does work.
When you write a designer, any designer, the main and biggest satisfation we get, is from your own satisfaction with us!
So Please write if you have ANYTHING to say, to any of us. You help yourselves when you help us!
