Hello,
My name is Mark(Hypersonic) and I am new to this forum. While I'm new to this forum, I'm not new to rocketry. As a teenager back in the seventys I used to duct tape D-12-0 together to make
three and four stage estes rockets to see how high I could get them to fly. No electronics in them, just wanted to make them go out of sight and guess how high they went. Lost alot of them in
the process. Knew nothing about CG, CP, or the math and physics behind why rockets do what they do. Left rocketry for many years and then one day I was watching TV and saw a space shuttle
launch. I've always loved to follow space exploration and decided to see how model rocketry is doing now a days. I was truely amazed at the size and power of todays model rockets. That was
about 3 to 4 years ago and since then have been in learning mode reading everything related to HPR and building techniques. I joined my local rocket club and have become a certified Level 2.
Now I'm playing with the big boys and would love to share my L3 builds with anybody (including 2 TAP members) that wants to see them. Many (if not all) my build techniques I've learned have
come from this forum (all of you). There is a wealth of educated and experienced people here at TRF that are willing to share there knowledge with anybody who wants to learn. For that I thank
you all!!! Until next time everyone, have a safe landing. I'm on this crazy quest for the "NEED FOR SPEED"
