Let me just say - Wow!.

I am 36 years old. I have been doing rockets for 25 years, 100's of launches. Nothing high power, just "in the park" rockets. I hadn't done anything in the last decade and now my son (age 11) wanted to build a rocket for a science fair sort of project. We launched a few "c" motor rockets with the usual outcome. Lots of fun, nice little 700-1000 ft jobs. His science project goal was to see if he could build a rocket that would go 1 mile high. Well, with the Aspire, that was the easy part. I'll never forget the look on his face when the ignition commenced and the Aspire lifted off. The never-ending thrust profile of the F10-8 just took it out of sight with style. What a beautiful performer. Your rocket has rekindled the flame I had long forgotten about. We plan on getting involved with the local club and I am going to try to sponser school rocket building/launch event.
Thanks for everything. We are looking forward to working with Apogee in the near future.

Sincerely,

James Love
