My first experience with model rockets be when me brother built one as a kid. It was one o' those snap-together easy rockets. Cool, ya bilge rat, but nay that interesting.
Later, I taught summer classes for elementary school kids where we did model rockets. It was fun but, arrr, again, nothin' special.
Then, me boyfriend discovered some unique lookin' rockets at t' local hobby shop. He and his brother built a few kits and invited me t' t' launch. When I saw how cool model rockets can be and how fun it is t' build and launch them, I was hooked! Now, I love buying, me hearties, building, shiver me timbers, and flyin' model rockets. Avast! (I am usually workin' on 5 at a time!) My favorite rockets are t' sci-fi designs and t' oddball rockets. I giggle and squeal every time I watch Sputnik fly!
