This weekend we did a spectacular fail, albeit with the rocket amazingly landing back on the launch pad SpaceX style which we captured on slo mo :-)<br />Slightly embarrassed that the calculations I was attempting to preach were wrong, I discovered the point you made about the manufacturer thrust designations being misleading - which of course when the mass / thrust are close enough makes a huge difference!<br />Your Princess Bride meme is spot on!<br />Great article - we'll check out your FB page.<br />DanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5979349821452260961.post-76219834921128351602016-10-11T10:08:45.831-04:002016-10-11T10:08:45.831-04:00Daniel,

Along with my son have built and flown many of the Estes models. Your explanation and information provided is great. As you mentioned it must have taken hours to assemble the charts and data and then compile your thoughts. Very good! Thank you!<br />Scott StephensonScotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05012102978445568134noreply@blogger.com
