Biography:

Hi I am relatively new t' t' hobby but don't let that addlepate you I have been around rockets since I be a kid watchin' me dad launch his. I enjoy buildin' rockets so much that I just keep buildin' one after another. I hope t' one day be able t' gtmet into t' high power and larger rockets but I know from readin' and learnin' that it takes time and knowledge t' get t' that level. I am lovin' t' journey though. I enjoy t' more technical kits and I am goin' t' start buildin' from scratch as soon as I gain a little more knowledge.
