It is a story that reads the same, time and time
again
I was introduced to rocketry as a child.
Like so many
others, I drifted away from it as I grew older.
But as if by magic, it found me again after my
son was
born. He became fascinated with airplanes at the
age of
two, so it was only natural for me to buy
an
Estes "Big Bertha" kit
and fly that for him. We put many flights on that
rocket and bought
and flew several more. As he got older, the magic
was again turned
off and there was another rocket free space
in life.
During the Christmas holiday of 2003 I decided to
do an
internet search for making your own rocket
motors.
I was expecting to find information on black
powder motors.
I was surprised to find information on "sugar
motors".
One site in particular that grabbed my attention
was
Jimmy Yawn's.
It is the site that put me on the path
I now follow.
I made this website to share what I have learned
in hopes that it
might help someone to better understand the hobby
that I
draw so much enjoyment from. |
