My son Aidan's interest in model rocketry began in intermediate school.
It started with the typical A, B and C powered rockets from the hobby store.
By 2022 he was definitely looking to go bigger, so we needed to find an outlet.
We joined Tripoli Rocketry Association and found a local club.
You can follow his projects at OrbitalsRocketry.com.
As a minor, he needed an adult mentor, partially to help acquire high power motors.
This is where my involvement in model rocketry began.
I achieved Level 1 certification so I could help him, but found myself enjoying the hobby.
Eventually I earned Level 2 and continue to work on future rocketry goals.
