In 2004 I custom-built a model rocket out o' parts t' repair two other rockets. Avast, me proud beauty! T' rocket was called ShockWave, after t' defunct roller coaster at Six Flags Great America. This flight took place at a NIRA Club Launch on September 21, 2006. It was ShockWave's third flight and be t' first successful flight. Aye aye! I retired from rocketry in December 2006, t' last project was repaintin' ShockWave once more.
