Hello from St Paul, Minnesota

Post by ryanrockets »

Hello,
I'm from St Paul Minnesota. I've been making and launching water rockets with my kids since about April 2014. I've built about 6 or 7 so far. Mostly single bottle ones of various sizes, 1 FTC rocket, and a crude rocket car. All lawn darts so far, but I'm working on parachute recovery ones. Its winter right now so I haven't launched in a while, but I am working on a few new ones for when the weather is nice. I would love to launch rockets with fellow Minnesota people if any are around. I'm looking forward to learning a lot from this forum.

Thanks for the welcome. Bugwubber the bobsleds and snow rocket are sweet. I'll have to try something like those once we have snow again. It would be cool to meet up and launch rockets together some day.

Julian, where in South West Germany are you? I used to live in Heidelberg and Kaiserslautern for a few years.

Nice to hear that!
We are from Ludwigsburg, that's about 100km away from Heidelberg. :)
I hope you enjoyed your visit.
