I never did model rockets as a kid, but a few years ago I started doing it with my sons. We started out simple just doing Estes and Quest kits. Then I found a local branch of NAR (National Association of Rocketry) and our rocket activities have gotten a LOT bigger! I've become totally obsessed and am really getting pumped about our upcoming launch, after being unable to launch all winter. We'll be flying a Phobos from Public Missile Works (got to love the name!) on an H motor, should be good to 5,000' above ground level; plus a bunch of little rockets I've been building all winter. Anybody else into this awesome hobby?
