Everyone:
Those of you who are Level 2 and above that are interested in "Research Rocketry" a.k.a. Making your own rocket motors, your time as arrived. Tom Henderson, Tripoli SC and ICBMs Prefect and is wife Kay are the proud owners of Dynamic Propulsions Systems. They are now offering classes in AP based rocket motor building. They had a class schedule in Florida June 30th, however, due to a conflict that was canceled. He has decided to go ahead and offer the class but have it at his house in Newton, NC right off HWY 321 just south of Hickory, NC Saturday June 30th. About 1 hr 10 minutes from Charlotte.
It is awesome, I have been a Thunderflame alumni since it's very first class in 1997 with the original owners Jim Mitchell and Sonny Thompson, some of the elite rocketeers of the mid 90s. This is some kick butt stuff and super reliable. This is a great opportunity to take this class if you can. I gotta say that the addition of the DVD and the spreadsheet have added to the content of this class. Tom and Kay have vastly improved the quality of this course. It is well worth every penny and if you do like me and get in to it stricly for building motors with the Pre-Mix kits they offer. You can actually save money on rocket motors. Basically a mix kit can make 6 6 Grain J motors for about $23.00 a motor. You can also make H and I motors in 38mm, or you can work up to 63mm, 75mm, etc. Whatever your fancy, the sky is the limit. Also Kay Henderson is offering nice imbroder caps and T-Shirts as a side. Get your hats and shirts and be styling and profiling why flying your homemade rocket motors.
Here it is, in Tom's words what it is all about a generic promotion he put out last month to TRA prefects, note we are talking about June 30th, 2007 right now:
