Gold in the Sky

Well, I was sick last weekend, so that threw my days all off and.....I almost missed the blog post!!! However, I'm on the mend and so I can now share this with you...

In 2008, Semroc teamed up with Vern and Gleda Estes to produce The Golden Scout program! The idea was simple; build and fly a Scout rocket (painted gold, of course) to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Estes' entry into the hobby! Once you flew your rocket, you sent your information to Semroc and got a certificate that looked a lot like this:

This is now proudly displayed on the wall of my rocket room. Its a great reminder of the tremendous contributions made by the Estes' to our hobby.

Until next time, fly 'em fast and high!
