Aerotech HV ARCAS completed 11/00. The paint job came out great on this rocket which means I'll probably loose it fast. Matter of fact I did, first flight landed in a tree. It is still there.	Estes AMRAAM AIM built 11/00. Holds the record for most number of flights for any of my rockets, 59!! I still have it.

Saturn V after second flight. After 15 years, I finally completed it and flew it and on the second flight, the engine misfired and it crashed. I do have it on video. My luck with rockets.			I have repaired the crushed sections and flew 8 times and then became a lawn dart again. Looks just like the photo to the left! 8-(.

Well, I guess my luck isn't always bad! I WON this Aerotech SUMO kit at a hobby show I went to. It is 4" diameter and 39" tall. It is level 1 ready, takes a G35 or larger and has a piston ejection system. Have flown ot on an H128. Wrote a review for Essence's web site with it. Has flown 14 times.
