Good Morning, Well, I found the answer to sleeping on the ground, take pain pills before you go to bed..
Scout camp wasnt all that much fun for my boys, first rocketf launch for Christian took his rocket to a tree. First rocket launch for the other boy with me, well, he had seperation. We never found the second half of that seperation.
2 1/2 hours in a tree with a pole got Christians Rocket down, we then repaired Christians ( or the other boys depending on who was in line) by grabbing parts off of both to make one rocket.
My leggs look like some one took a cheese grater to them, wouldnt you know, the tree that held the rocket would be surronded by thorn bushes.
To anyone whe decides they wish to do rockets, I have leanerd a few things.
Just because that motor fits, doesnt mean you should always use it.
Just because the parchute doesnt have a hole in it, doesnt mean you shouldnt cut one into it..
Streamers may not work as a parachute, but it is a hell of alot easier to reclaim your rocket when it just falls to the earth, instead of gracefully floating to a tree.
IF rocket launching is the whole days event.. bring MORE THEN ONE ROCKET..
What the hell doest it matter if you make it over 1200 feet, you cant see it anyways..
