[QUOTE=LeeR]You kids! I started flying rockets in 1964.
I was a junior in HS, then. My first rocket, Estes Scout, 1962-63, then quickly followed with the Astron Mark,using the tracing out the fins using the cutout. I reversed the root edge, using the leading edge as the root, and it looked sharp. Lost it on a B3-7, later the B14. On the pad, then just gone... The old Astron Apogee was flown several times using A and B engines. Then I cranked it up using a B3-0 to C6-7. Buh bye. I couldn't resist. Now I have some kits from FSI that won't get built and a guitar that I have some trouble playing anymore. Heavy sigh.
