[LUNAR Announce:] Build night fun and follow-up

[Paul Pittenger]

Hi LUNAR !

That was some fun creative chaos last night, someone counted over 40 kids
and parents at the event, we were stretched on having enough experienced
rocketeers to help everyone.

I hope to see everyone at our Ames launches Aug 11 and October 6.  Please
identify to safety check that you were at the build night and your level of
experience.  If you need more help with prepping the rocket or any repairs
needed, we will get some help from club members.

I will have an extra batch of launch lugs, shock cords and mounts,
parachutes, etc. so even if your rocket has some little problems get some
motors and come to the launch anyway and we will do our best to get the
rocket to fly.  If you are missing something major contact me and perhaps
we can meet before the launch.

Complete kits (for building at home) will be ready to give to kids who help
us with launch equipment setup and teardown/cleanup at the launch.

A couple people took some of the more complicated rockets but left the
directions and decal sheets.. please contact me if you took a more
partially completed rocket from the cardboard tray box and I will get you
the directions and decorations - especially the Tomcat swing wing glider if
you want it to fly correctly you need the directions!

We have another club member looking at some of the larger stuff to figure
out what other parts we need.  We could support a mid-power build for 29mm
motor rockets for older or more experienced kids and families.  That could
be a smaller event with a little less chaos and more opportunity to give
direction or build the same thing together.  If there is enough interest we
will think about when to set that up.

thanks,

Paul
