Welcome Kat to TRF!
Welcome back to the hobby. Think you will find TRF to be an invaluable source of information and inspiration, along with interacting with a great bunch of rocketeers.
I grew up during the space race, and was fascinated by the rockets carrying astronauts into space. A school mate of mine showed me an Estes catalog, and I was hooked for life. Saved my lawn mowing money for the Alpha starter set, and haven't looked back since. I think the educational aspects of the hobby is what I liked the most, and luckily, I still learn something every time I build and fly a model. One of my projects I intend to finish before I die is build every model in my initial fleet.
Like many others, finishing a model sometimes stretches my patience, as I like my rockets to look good, but it seems I always screw something up. LOL
And, like others, I would encourage you to join a group, either NAR or TRA, you will find flying with friends is much more fun that doing it alone.
Again, welcome to our group and I wish you much success in your rocketry endeavors.
