Status: offline 		Seems kind of odd that someone who grew up in Houston during the height of the space race would take 50 years to try model rocketry, doesn't it? Whatever the reason I'm finally giving it a go. I just finished my first two rockets, the Estes Big Bertha and Big Daddy. They haven't flown yet, hoping to do that during the local rocketry club's launch at the end of August. Here are pics of my rockets:

Big Bertha "Tara"


Big Daddy "Der Grosser Vati"


I will try to get more pics and video of their maiden flights.

I had a Big Bertha a gozillion years ago, and your second is similar to my all time favorite - der Red Max.  Neither were spectacular (Like a Cherokee-D) but they sure were fun!  



I may have to get back into rocketry.  I was heavily into it in the mid 70's.

Yours look great!
