“man's revenge against gravity”?

Hey we are doing dual deploy on an Estes Wizard with an A8-3 and an ARTS.

 

[RangerStl]

So things can happen down low for demonstration purposes?

That's pretty cool. Must be a sensitive altimeter. Congrats on a fine event!

Uh an ARTS is about an inch wide...a Wizard is 18mm

Hey, man... I was envisioning a short stubby payload section and everything in masterful detail.

Wondered why I was dragging a gimpy foot back there.

Way to go on getting the Press involved in our hobby. Lot better than reading about the economy.:clap:

always nice to get some press, but, wow, reporters can really get simple stuff so wrong.

hopefully some new folks will visit at the next club launch.

 

[H_Rocket]

So far we have had at least three contacts of families who want to come out ans watch.

One secret to getting increased participation is to publicize and have launches three or four weeks in a row. That gives a sense that rocketry is an anytime, all year thing, rather than a one time, once a year special event.
