It is Rocket Day in #minnesota ! Join us on a sod farm in North Branch for the biggest launch of the year. The College and University teams will also be back from summer break and they will start testing their competition rockets. Lots of high power rockets, the waiver will be open to 20,000 ft.

We also will have the annual night launch starting at 7.30 pm.

I have been building rockets with a friend's son since he was 4. Now 12 years old he won a purple ribbon (Grand Champion) at the #minnesota state fair for his slightly enlarged "Big Bertha". A friend and I made a parts set and he assembled and painted it. The original is an #estes rocket from the 60s, a little over a foot tall. His version is a bit over 8 ft. We will fly it next weekend.

I feel like a kid again. I subscribed to the Estes (model rocketry) email list.

#Estes #Rocketry

Here's a thread of my recent projects, starting with the most recent and working backwards until I get tired of it. 😀 Most of these will be #rocketry related.

St. Louis Rocketry Association has a night launch around Halloween. This year I brought "Ghost Goblin," an #Estes Goblin with an #LED lit skull in place of a nose cone. Unfortunately, the wind carried it into the trees far out of reach of the Poking Stick. (Second photo by Carmelo Turdo, The Aero Experience Blog.)
