Congratulations to them and the rest of the teams. We all worked so hard on this project.

Comments Off on Today’s Meeting
Today was the last day for the meetings until the University Student Launch Initiative competition. Though many of us were nervous, not including myself (wink, wink) we did great work and remembered all the parts of our rocket and our presentation. The questions we were asked about our rocket involved, how Frankenstein 1 failed, how many trails and errors we had with the odd design of our rocket, and finally we were told that we recovered well from many things that went wrong with our rocket.
Comments Off on Rainy Day!!!
On the 26th of February, the Rez-Riders went to the Mansfield launch site yet again to test launch the new and improved Frankenstein 2. The drive was boring and uneventful as usual, many of the members slept the entire way including myself (Silent Renegade AKA Kyle). Due to a weather forecast that threw off the entire day, it began to rain canceling the rest of the rocket launches for the day. The rocket team returned to Mister Gary’s pad and enjoyed sweet “victory” pizza for Paul Ballew’s level one certification.
Comments Off on Frankenstein II, the REZurrection
He lives! He lives! 3/20/11 saw Frankenstein II rise majestically into the sky on a CTI J330 reload. Altitude was 2389 and a heart-thumping recovery as the winds blew him toward the sea ponds and the open water of the Straits of Georgia. Frankenstein II landed on the dike road, the sea pond 20 feet to the left and the Straits of Georgia 30 feet to the right.
