Yes I do Rocketballsa. Also many school teachers Primary in Perth and across the whole country are buying from SB's and launching model rockets on school ovals.

Thats excellent news wolfies gurl. What better way to teach people the safety aspects of model rocketry than through a school. If all schools were doing this there would be no need for anyone to go to a school for demo launches. science teachers can do it all.


Has anyone ever heard of the paperwork reduction act?

I recently assisted Nick at a local primary school with a rocketry demonstration. Unfortunately the weather did not allow an actual launch, but I think we may have some new memberships on the way.

Yes the main emphasis with the primary school event was safety.
I plan to get a couple of launch days and catch some public attention. I have so many curious people asking to come and observe.
I'll have to just spend a couple of weeks wages and buy up big for the event.
 
It's a pain though, just waiting on a few things to happen before I can set dates.
 
The local primary school has expressed interest in having us visit again and do a more in depth demonstration.
This will no doubt ripple into other areas.

At my school we have:
- a huge oval, should do for A's B's and the heavier C rockets
-An engineering teacher who I have got interested in rocketry
-Me, that being the main reason I want someone to launch rockets here  .
So it would be suitable. And we could claim something like it demonstrates newtons third law to convince the science teachers. Also might demonstrate the termainal velocity of a falling streamlined object  .

I don't know why he's say that, I'm pretty sure Newton came up with "every force has an equal and opposite reaction".

organizing a build and launch day shouldnt be that hard for your school talk to gdude, wolf and kev at the next launch I am sure they would be willing to put some ideas together
