Sport Rockets

Born Again Rocketeer

A fortuitous career change into teaching last year allowed me to get back into rocketry when I taught a physics class using scratch-built egg lofters as a demo medium.

I'm hooked again. I have joined the local section club, CRASH, the National Association of Rocketry, am working on the NARTREK "metal" series , and I have an L1 HPR certification bird under construction.

Whats here

The Future - The future of sport rocketry in America is in doubt because of excessive government regulation. The Future webpages talk about several issues affecting the future of our sport.

High Power Rockets - I want to document my L1 (and L2) projects, so I figure I'll do it on-line.

Model rockets - I'm fascinated by high power rockets, but also like model stuff. My scratch builts and kit bashes.

Flexwing Gliders - I need to build a glider for NARTREK. This short page lists the info I've found so far on flexwing (Rogallo) boost gliders.

Flight Logs - Status of flights, pictures, etc.

Hints & Tips - Hints, tips, ideas; anything I want to remember or share.
