Important Rocketry Milestones
I have been launching rockets since 1975, I think thousands of flights. Yesterday I was following the glider from my Estes Solo and I was hit in the head by a ball of wadding. :chuckle: That’s a first for me!

I hope you are feeling OK. :D |
I’m the chosen one :)

This could be the first in the history of launching model rockets!

I’ve caught a piece or two of wadding out of the air while waiting for the rocket to descend under parachute, but I don’t think or can’t recall having ever been ‘hit’ by any.
I’m glad you are ok and un-injured. Otherwise, the powers that be might make us start attaching recovery streamers to our chute wadding. :eek: ;) Earl |

Great idea, probably a good science experiment. I bet it comes down faster tied to a melted streamer :) |
While watching one of my rockets being launched, I saw a small piece of paper floating down in front of me. It landed at my feet. I bent over and picked it up. It was one of the small labels that were on the grains of the reload that I used in the rocket.

Be gad it was not a wad of bird poop! I almost got hit by gull poop the last time I flew..... :D |
Here is the video, I was recording so unfortunately you can’t see me take one for the team.
