Salutations from New Zealand

[JohnnieWalker]

Hi everyone,
My name is Erik, I live in New Zealand.

Nice to be getting back to my rocketry roots.
When I was a child my father took me to a farm fair that had an impressive launch and there he bought me a Quest starter kit similar to this one:

Soon after I progressed onto building a Navajo AGM kit like this one:

Such a beautiful rocket, had several magnificent launches, love the 2 stage.

Sadly I didn't continue with rockets until now.

I have ordered a Boyce Aerospace Hobbies Nike Hercules Builders Kit 1/14th scale and am very much looking forward to that:

When I get that all together I shall maybe create a build thread.

Cheers everyone

Erik

Hey hey! Welcome back.

I just got back into flying last year after a long hiatus. It ended up being the best thing I did for myself in a very long time.

So far I’ve generally found the forum population to be friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I’ve even had the pleasure of meeting a few at the range.

May your successes be exhilarating, and your failures both spectacular and illuminating.

Welcome to the Forum from Nevada the land of neon.

Welcome from far away! I have that same kit just waiting to get started so you should definitely do a build thread on it!

Welcome Erik. Have you managed to go to any of the NZ Rocketry events like Havoc in the Paddock?

We get quite a few flyers from NZ attending our events in Oz.

Hi, Erik! Welcome to the monkey house. A wealth of knowledge and nice people here. Oh, and Australians as well.
