You're welcome Don.
I've never met you, but I feel like I know you pretty well from having read so many of your reviews and flight reports on EMRR.
I hope you won't be too embarassed if I let others in on what I'm talking about.
Don is a Featured reviewer on EMRR. To date, he's written 23 full review articles and posted flight reports on
154 different rockets he's built and flown (see the amazing list below).
Not only has he built and flown an astounding number of rockets, but he's exceptionally gifted at communicating their strengths and weaknesses as well. Just read any of his reviews on EMRR to see for yourself.
For those of you looking for beta-testers for your latest design, this is your guy.
For those of you looking to fill even better rocketry jobs, this kid is an untapped goldmine of rocketry experience, passion, and communications ability.
Like I said above, I've never met Don, I'm not related to him, and I don't have any vested interest in his well-being. It's just that I'm amazed at what he's already done and contributed to the rocketry community in his "spare time". Imagine what he could do if it was actually his job.
I hear he's available.
