By the way, I may have mentioned that I am a bit old fashioned...here is a sample of what my bishop has to deal with...

John, Mark ...
You guys are making me feel all nostalgic. I just posted a picture elsewhere about my Astron Cobra. Always wanted a Cobra as a kid. I'm doing clustering and staging this year, the clustering in anticipation of building my Semroc Saturn 1B with the cluster option. Haven't flown a cluster in quite awhile. I grew up in Colorado, and discovered Estes rockets in 1964. Even visited Vern and crew in Penrose in 1966. Those are some of the greatest memories I have of youth. I'll have to post a picture sometime of the typed order we placed at Estes Industries during that trip. We got a WHOLE lotta stuff for $25 (and back then you'd get a free kit on orders over $25)!

20mph winds with gusts to 35 resulted in a cancelled launch, lots of frustration and a general wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Awww Darn... Even though you have posted no pictures, I fear you have not built the "Pee Wee" I was hoping for
 ... I know the guy who designed the one below... (I do know for a fact though that he used an X-acto knife blade tube for the payload section on the actual model!)-Scott

I can see how things could get very busy in your job, which must include helping souls in their lifelong preparation before they make another kind of launch at some point in each one's future. I just wanted to say that I like your choice of a new rocket project, and that I will be quite interested in seeing what you build. I have often thought about building some of those old EIRP plans, but so far, the only one that I have done is the Li'l Augie. I haven't flown it yet, though, or even painted it, even though I finished it some months ago. Some others that I would like to build right away include the Sky Bird II, the Arrow C and the PeeWee. I wonder if the PeeWee might have been the inspiration for the Astron Midget?
