Returning forum member here living in Stephenville, TX who is getting back into rocketry after retiring from the US Navy and civilian workforce as a Laser System Product Manager and Technical Sales Engineer. I've been a Rocketry Forum member since 2012 but haven't been very active in the previous ten years.
I'm really interested in helicopter recovery rockets and have several in the build process. Hope to launch one at High Frontier 18 in OK next weekend. I really look forward to attending the FAI S9 event in Austin, TX next year!
I've ordered a Binder Design 4" Excel rocket kit and plan to build it for some G motor testing then Level 1 certification. I also have a Mini Magg almost finished but I think it may end up too heavy for any G motor test flights.
I am a NAR member and plan to join TRA in the not-too-distant future. I certainly look forward to participating in local NAR and TRA events as time and funds permit. I'm looking to participate in some Helicopter Duration competitions here in Texas and the South-Central US but I'm not having much luck finding any, please let me know if I'm just not finding them in my internet search.
Best regards,
Keith
