Allen and Vince go to NARAM 60
HARA was represented at NAR’s 60th annual meet and rocketeer reunion in Pueblo, Colorado in August by Allen Owens and Vince Huegele. Vince was there for the BOT meeting and Allen was there to fly his level 2 scale Tomahawk, the Long Tom. The weather was great and the field was greater allowing the launch and recovery of all manner of sport rockets. Allen’s flight was excellent, and higher than predicted. Vince made two nominal flights on a Spacemonkeys plastic V-2 converted to fly on 24mm motors.

Names Needing Rockets
Often as a LCO I will get a flight card filled out with the rocket name given as ‘none’ or ‘blue rocket’ or some such empty unimaginative title. This should not be. There are many incredible unclaimed names for rockets that evoke adventure and excitement so that these blanks need never again be left craving a designation. Even the rocket beginner need only look to an Independence Day Celebration catalog or the aisle of heavy metal rock albums for inspiration. As a service to name the unnamed rockets we offer a sample listing here. Keep this list on the LCO table to complete those flight cards with style.
Lucifer’s Hammer
Torch of Freedom
Ninja Steel
Gravity Wins
