Hello fellow rocketeers! My name is Mike and I live in Washington, DC and I am a BAR. I built and launched Estes rockets as a kid in the 1970's and now I am back at it. I was at a thrift store a year or two ago and saw an Estes starter kit NIB for $8. I had already been working on a model trolley layout and balsa and tissue planes. After some time of the kit sitting in a closet I found out and joined my local rocket club and have since attended a few launches. I have built and successfully flown an Estes V2 and Ventris so I am already into the mid power rockets. I am researching the possibility of buying and building the 4" Loc Precision V2 sometime in the future. MDRA on Maryland's Eastern Shore is 1.5 hours away and it's not a bad drive if you don't hit traffic and the event doesn't get rained out like it did last week.
In doing my research I have found tons of videos on youtube of people flying rockets but not much in the way other than Apogee Components' videos that offer us rookies with any guidance. I have pro video gear and would like to work with people in the Mid Atlantic to make some videos explaining the who, what, and when of rocketry.
There's a ton of stuff for me to learn about MPR and I am eager to get the lessons underway.
See ya on the field.
