Well, that's about too cool for school. Your son's reaction is the best part. George is amazingly good with photography along with his many other skills . Congratulations on your achievement.The Tripoli Records Committee posted my new G record: 10,093ft on a G150. That was over 3 years in the making & was such a cool flight to see. Perfect weather and the perfect launch site. I'm really happy it broke 10k. Huge thanks to Tripoli Colorado and everyone there for the great support & camaraderie! Also, thanks to my family for going on the 2,500 mile road trip with me!!
George Barnes caught the only complete still picture of it after the motor lit. My DSLR's frame rate wasn't fast enough to get it all in one frame...<ignition...gone> (my launch photo below)
Even better: Nearly 10 years in the making, my son & I were hanging out in the shop and he said "Dad, I want to come up with my own rocket designs and build them. Can you teach me?"
