First up:  ROCKET CARS!

• My friend Rick's Trident, ready to go!
• C6-5 Blast off!
• Oops....
• Everything seemed fine, until he got ready to try again.
• Undaunted, Rick rebuilt.  Blast off (redux)!
• A8-3.  Much slower, but at least it came back in one piece!
• My own entry:  the twin D-powered Green Machine!

Now let's see some REAL ROCKETS!

• Here's my first mid-power project (summer 2001): an Aerotech Arreaux.
• Pretty, huh?
• Tragically, an engine malfunction struck on it's third flight, sending the Black & Gold beauty plummeting through a crowd of terrified onlookers, detonating against a low embankment.
• But I took it well.
