Nearly calm winds, sun and nice temps made for a good day to get in some low power rockets flights on our local field. Some chutes didn't want to unfurl from the colder weather, so a few broken fins (repairable). Still, lots of fun flying today with the kiddo. @estesrockets

The new Super Orbital Transport has to be one of the most fun kits I've ever built. Really fun, every step of the way. I took two small creative liberties with it; added a tailcone on the MMT for a bit more finished look and went with pearl white paint (pics don't do it justice). Looking forward to having some soft green grass on our local field to give this its first flight.

Good morning. It's warm and will be for a while. Expecting the ice to disappear.

Fortuna Waterfall, Costa Rica. Yeah, somewhat touristy place, but still beautiful.

Big Daddy family photo. Ready for any field, any impulse I'm allowed to fly.

Sugar maple leaf landed upright in the snow and was spun by the wind.

Say Hi to Major Tom, a real space oddity. The idea for a square Big Daddy hit me and I had to see it to completion. The fins and decals are the real deal from kits. Made the rest out of foam board. Ply centering squares hold the motor mount in place.

Either the app for my furnace doesn't understand negative numbers or the earth is melting.

Current winter build moving along nicely. Grabbed the new Estes Super Orbital Transport when it was released. Need to finish up the tubes for the motor pods but getting close to paint. This kit is amazing.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. Please remember to take photos that embarrass your child(ren).
