It was a rocket day in Minnesota... I have been mentoring the 12 year old son of a friend for almost 8 years, today he flew his rocket on an H motor to 2400 ft, at over 450 mph. This earned him the cerification level 1 and he is now allowed to fly high power rockets.
Between my drive up to the Hudson Valley on Monday, and home again this afternoon, I made exactly 2.5 simplex contacts on 146.52, caught up on 2 episodes of #HamRadioWorkbench, and one episode of @therocketryshow
So overall I'd say not a bad commute😀
Building the #R2D2 flying model rocket. R2 drew first blood as I tried to whittle down some excess plastic with an E-Xacto knife.
The kit is from the 1970s and DAMN that plastic is tough! #ModelRocketry
