Photos and videos! Wow! Thanks so much!

How far down does the jet stream dip?I’m trying to launch something that may hit 20 K.

Raining Continuously in Longmont. Two hours of moderate rain at 4:00AM (or so) and pretty steady light to moderate from 4:30 PM.Hope it’s hitting the Launch Site. Radar looks iffy…

But I think it’s last year’s schedule.

Especially the nice video of my KMAG going up.Interesting chuff from the motor as it was going up too.

Until about 1:00 or so. Then the front came rolling in. Otherwise beautiful conditions. Small turn out, but the rockets kept going up. At least one new Level 1 Cert success. Nice to see new members out there.Thanks to Ken…   Read more»

I’m looking at an Estes Ricochet. Questions as to how to fit a 75mm motor tube in it?I’m in it for fun as much as anything. I get a kick out of seeing an Estes upscale in just about any…   Read more»
