Probably mating with yours. So if you see a bunch more of them in a few months

BTW, nice one tbzep

No, if I remember right, yours was lost over to the NE side of the field. Mine was down in the SW corner by the Target.

However, if I see a bunch of little ones running around wild this summer, I'll gather them up and find them homes.

Sure, and I'll just take the pick of the nose.

You can pick your friends

You can pick your nose

But you shouldn't pick your friend's nose.

That was cool to give it to Vern and Gleda. I wish they would hurry up and get that book out, and maybe update their "Dear Mr. Estes" website with some of their personal rocketry photos, and add some book teasers and stuff.

Well, back in the late 70's when I realized how many flights I had on it, I set myself to see how far I could go with it and kept my logs on it. Also, after that point I never flew it with anything other than A8-3 motors (well, the occational B...

)

2 years ago when I past 400 I set myself the goal of getting it to 500 for NARAM and got it done!

It was a thrill, to say the least.

If interested, you can see the photo album about that launch by clicking here. (starting about the 6th picture down)

A very happy day
