Jonathon Greig's PageLocation: East bethel Mn Favorite Rockets: Boosted bertha, cherokee, and any goon style rocket Biography: Hi I am relatively new to the hobby but don't let that fool you I have been around rockets since I was a kid watching my dad launch his. I enjoy building rockets so much that I just keep building one after another. I hope to one day be able to gtmet into the high power and larger rockets but I know from reading and learning that it takes time and knowledge to get to that level. I am loving the journey though. I enjoy the more technical kits and I am going to start building from scratch as soon as I gain a little more knowledge.

2021-04-14Slo mo Build I bought this kit because it is specifically designed to leave the launch pad slowly along with a twist on its way up.
