The BlastFromThePast 2018 Fleet Photo

This is a pic of all the flight-ready model rockets in the fleet as of the beginning of 2019. 

I've had all of the birds out of the boxes this week in order to inspect them and install recovery wadding, just in case the weather suddenly gets better and I can grab'n'go to the flying field.

I figured I might as well fire up the Android and take a group portrait while I had them all unpacked.

I've also been busy building new 'chutes' and streamers, and pre-installing ignitors...I mean, STARTERS... into select motors.

If nothing else, tinkering with and photographing the fleet has had the effect of lifting me out of the winter doldrums and inspired me to get back to work on the Steampunk Protostar.....

















I'm hoping to have at least a half dozen or so new models completed for next year's photo.
