Hello all, I wanted to take a few minutes and introduce myself to the forum. My passion for the hobby began as a young child, late 80's into early 90's with my father. We used to create, build, and launch rockets together. However, I have not touched a model rocket since 1996, when I was thirteen years old. I believe this is when I started competitively racing RC cars.
My grandfather was a Space and Missile Systems Technician with the U.S. Air Force and worked on the Gemini. His name was inscribed on the American Space Museum and Space Walk of Fame in Titusville, FL. I think this is why my father enjoyed model rocketry. He has also been employees with NASA for 35+ year, so that might help also. They both worked in the field, and I think I flew way off trejectory by joining law enforcement. [Insert bacon joke here].
The memories of model rocketry brought me back to the hobby, after 21 year. Now that I have a young son it is time to enjoy the hobby again. I should be purchasing a LPR soon to introduce him into it. We shall see how it goes from there. I am glad to be here and hope to share and learn from all of you.
