Hi, my name is Brian. I flew rockets back in the late 1990's to early 2000's until other interests took over. My son got me reinterested in rockets because of a school project he did last year.

Nothing right now, going to order a few kits.Welcome back. What are you working on now?
You might also enjoy cloning an old favorite. Check out JimZ's rocket plans. He's got scans of a huge swath of rockets through the years. Parts can be sourced from a number of vendors.Nothing right now, going to order a few kits.
Right now I'm just relearning everything I forgot.
Agreed.I flew Estes rockets back in the 1980's. BlueBird Zero was my baby back then.
Around 1998, I got into drag racing, and then stopped drag racing in 2017.
Found rockets, again, or they found me. If you like craftsmanship, painting, noise, speed, (or burning money) it's a great hobby. It's also very easy to pare it to almost any hobby budget. You can build for A motors or K motors. I like them all.
I mostly got back in for high power, because of the adrenaline loss from no longer racing. If you like high power, go for it. I like the noise and speed.
I'd suggest going to a club launch to see what everyone is doing now. If you get to watch some punchy high power stuff, you may decide to get certified.
