New guy introduction (with a rocket-car problem)

[JNasty]

New guy here,

obviously here because I’m stumped with a situation I find myself in.. but rules are rules! So, I dig making things, always have. Everything from custom go-karts, remote controlled paintball guns, erector sets & Lincoln logs. I’m an electrician by trade, both engineering and field type of work. I do get home rather early in the afternoon which gives me a ton of free time with various hobbies.. which brings me here. I’m currently working on a model rocket with my nephew; except, this ones not going skyward… its got wheels… and going to do (hopefully) 300+ MPH. I’m going to post this in the correct section about my problem, so feel free to stop by and put in your 2 cents. -Joe

Welcome to PF!

I think you should visit the DIY section. You will find a lot of things to make in your spare time.

Yes, it's currently under review by the Mentors. Give us a few minutes...

@JNasty -- to aid the Mentor discussion about your proposed thread, can you please send me a message (click on my avatar and select Start a Conversation) with the following information:

• Please tell me what you know about the NAR Model Rocket Safety Codes
• What rocket motor are you planning on using?
• Per the Safety Codes, what kind of area are you planning on performing these experiments (obviously a parking lot near any buildings or people will not work)
• What is the largest model rocket you have launched vertically, and where was it (are you part of a club?)?

Thank you.
