This weekend, I was again the lucky recipient of some more model rocketry gifts.
The first was a surprise package from one of the forum members containing a FlightSketch altimeter! I'm already in the process of building some ebays to get ready for some serious altitude and flight profile experiments with this unit. The great thing about this compact device is that it fits in a BT-20 size tube and operates with a cel phone app via Bluetooth. The app allows flight profiles to be uploaded to the device and/or the FlightSketch website.
The other item came from the friend in Colorado Springs who had given me his model rocket stash from the 1990s last year.
He is packing to move and found this:
The binder contains a 1990 Estes products catalog, an Educators' Products Catalog, an Educator's Guide written by Robert Cannon, and the September, 1990 issue of Estes Educator News.
This binder represents an interesting thirty year old bit of Estes history, and is a very welcome addition to the BFTP model rocketry library.
Thanks to the folks who kindly sent these items!
Cheers!
