Welcome to my Rocketry Photo Album!

Miscellaneous Photos

I fell in love with styrofoam model rockets at Perl River (Dick Nelson, you have gotten me wrapped up into MORE things!!! (thanx too!)).  I've designed so many, I can't keep track. I use them at shows, I help kids design/build and launch them, and I marvel at the reactions they get from crowds, no exceptions!

	Styro-Trident.   This is just TOO KEWL, and beautiful flights too! Cups were donated by our local McDonalds for our town's 4th of July celebration.
	A smaller styro rocket (that's my son, Joe holding it.  He's taller than that rocket now...)
	You may never beleive it, but they DO turn in wonderful flights.  Slow, noisy and spectacular!
	And, they do get quite big too (but this is not my biggest, by a long shot)
	And even the big ones fly nice, on 29mm motors...
	Here, Scott Branche places the Perl River Styro rocket on the pad, as onlookers just gap at it...
	Waiting for the best time to launch, this rocket kept interest up, that's for sure!
	Scott, holding the model as the winds calm down and the range officer prepares to signal the All Clear for launch
	And there she goes!   I can't recall the motor used, but believe it was a 20mm F motor.
	Here she is coming back after a GREAT flight!
	Boom goes the motor.   Cato'd motors do seem to do more hurt to styrofoam than to balsa wood and cardboard. (See other cato photos on my cato page)
	A collage of 5 photo's of a styrofoam rocket launched at our local 4th of July launch.
