How the hell are ya all?:)

I had a killer time in Hawaii.
I even got to take the controls of a sailplane off the north shore and got to meet and play a song or 2 with some very cool people.:hippy

I cant wait to go back.:(

HA!:lol
I was in the middle of building a lightweight high performance rocket right before I left. Now Im at the point where I have to decide to make it a 2 stage rocket or make the body tube at the nose end a different way, or fiberglass the whole sucker together....:( I have too many ideas in my head for this one.:D

But now Im really thinking Giant Rocket Glider.

:lol :lol


that sounds pretty wild.


do you set the flaps so it goes in huge circles, or do you have to chase the damned thing down once you launch it? I'd imagine a rocket powered glider would go pretty far?

Im going to be sitting in it.:D
I have the flying bug now. Its all over for me.:confused:

They do make small, (and not so small) rocket gliders of all kinds. Some have remote control, some you have to chase.;)
