Howdy,
I'm new to this forum and I am a ReBAR. I started flying rockets in the 70's with my Father and brothers. I became a BAR in the 90's when I started flying again with my brothers and my older son. Once again I have been brought back into the fold flying with my younger son (6 years old) and one of my brothers, so I guess I am a re-born again rocketeer. My son and I have been launching rockets for a few months now, the standard LPRs from estes, quest and a few from semroc.
Yesterday I snatched a Quasar One Nuclear Fusion on ebay, apparently it's a new model, 42" x 2.6" clustered (x2) for D's and up. It's a big jump from anything I have launched, does anyone have any experience with this rocket?
Also, can I use a maxi-rod on the standard estes pad for this or should I opt for a more beefy pad?
I'll end with what I think is an interesting observation. I fly model airplanes and my twin 2 year old girls have always liked my planes, but they love the rockets. One of them was in my office yesterday rubbing the my Quest Big Betty and saying, it's okay we won't lose you. It was so funny. They have convinced me that I should build them a pair of pink estes swifts.
