Just wanted to say hello to everyone here and introduce myself. I'm 34 years old and for much of my life I have been a model rocket enthusiast. When I was young I used to spend pretty much every cent I had on either rocket kits, or on supplies to make customs. My customs were pretty much "on a whim" designs and had almost as many failures as successes, but it was a blast hitting the ignition on the maiden voyage. After I had kids I took a bit of a hiatus from rocketry and am now getting back into it. I also had a "break" while I delved into RC cars, boats, and planes. One thing that's obvious to me is that I never delved as deeply into rocketry as many on these boards. I was always buying kits and engines (or tubes and balsa and engine) and just launching away.

Other random information.....my all time favorite rocket I had was the Marauder. It was and Estes (I believe) that had a clear payload area. I can't tell you how many eggs went up in the air on that puppy! I always wanted a rocket with a camera, but never pulled the trigger on that (yet). So anyway, hello to all!

By the way, if there are any people from around King of Prussia PA I'd be interested in talking with you. It would be nice to head out to a launch with some people!
