| Second Aerotech Arcas, built 3/03. First one is
in a tree. Flown 8 times so far. |
Cosmodrome Nike Apache, built 1/03; Christmas
present from my wife. That means I'll probably lose it in a tree. Actually it caught on
fire during take-off first time out in 2004. See pictures of it in sick bay. Right picture is after repairs.
Flown 6 times now. |

Estes Eliminator, built 7/04. I added a wireless
video camera that you can see in the nosecone. Flies on D and E engines. Flown 3 times but
video isn't that good because the receiving antenna needs to be better.
Then I added a small camcorder
and got some
videos. Flown 19 times. |
I bought this simple Estes Heat Seeker for the
kids a long time ago who started building it but lost interest and stopped. So I claimed
it, finished it and added to my fleet. Finished 8/04. Lost first time flown in July 2005,
in trees.. |

| Estes Phoenix purchased on Ebay since it is
discontinued. Weighs in at 9 ozs so it didn't go too high. Built 8/30/04, flew 5 times and
then lost in tree. See video section. Found on ground 3
months later, fixed and crashed later. See Sick Bay
photos. |

engine tube wore out and the rocket crashed. |
The Launch Pad PAC3 rocket built
7/7/2014. SIngle "D" engine rocket. Flew 12 times so
far, flies pretty straight but a D12-3 is really not enough to
really get this rocket high. |
