The (somewhat) recent thread about how individuals are connected to the AD made me think that it could be interested to find out how some of us chose our screennames. Any takers?

I took mine from a rocket (named "Hawk Hunter") I started building in 2006 (see attached images). To help with the sense of scale, the rocket is 8' 4" long with diameters of 5.5" and 4". I hope to finally get it launched this summer (school got in the way of completing it) in Walcott, and hopefully there will be a wind out of the west so it can be launched toward IC.
 
oh no problem. carry on with the thread cuz theres a lot of diff people on here now and like i said, it was probably 3 years ago. i just think its funny if you stick around this board long enough, every thread gets repeated.
 
I posted under a different username for a long time. It included my real name and I decided I didn't want people to see it, so I started up a new account. Thus, I'm a "fanatic again."

What's that bad boy packing and what's it gonna take to get a guidance system that can hit the press box?
 
Tool song "Reflection"....What ever will bewilder me...started using it in early high school and it's been one of my names for 10-12 years.

It'll launch on a 54mm motor (likely to have thrust between ~150 and ~600 lbs).

A guidance system would require several modifications/components:

  • more-powerful motor capability to get the required distance
  • modifications to the fins to allow for active-control
  • the guidance components themselves (obviously)
  • back-room deals to acquire parts and avoid getting my *** thrown in jail
 
first and middle initial, the 829 came about from hotmail saying "that user id is taken, try" and 829 was an option. Ever since then it has stuck even though that hotmail account has been gone for a good 12 years now.
