Iam, but I have not been active (building, launching, etc) in a while. I do occasionally mess around with RocSim.

When I was a teenager and lived in the middle nowhere I was into it, but that was a long time ago...

Was into it heavy during HS, and would love to get back into it on the High Power side, but don't have
the space right now to do the building.

And I keep missing the Culpeper launches by forgetting the

dates, etc....

If I could mount them to my bike when I was 12 I can put one on a rail with a laser and some backup irons.

Edit: Dont mount them to a bike as they WILL burn your leg as they go by.

You can also strap a CO2 fire extinguisher to the back of your bike to copy the rocket engine that made the motorcycle fly in Megaforce. Not that I would know anything about that.

mo4040 beat me to it. Mounted on the handlebars was the first thing that I thought of
when you said "mounted on a bike" and "Megafarce" immediately came to mind.

Way I look at it, as long as I don't do anything dumb-ass with them, the MIBs aren't going to worry
about me with a model rocket. With my job, I have to keep my nose clean anyway, especially since
they do a double-check every 5 years at least. And with as many people have my prints, I couldn't
misbehave and dream abt getting away with it anyway.

Getting into this again after many years. My 13 year old had a chance to launch some rockets a few months ago and got me interested again.
We have the place, big farm not too far away.
Was really hoping some of you young-guns would want to help us chase the thing. (I’m slower than I use to be)

Incentive? We have a 275 yard shooting range on site. Complete with charcoal grill and picnic table.
