Just getting back started after 30+ years away in model rocketry.
Hello and thank you for taking the time to stop by and learn a bit about me.
I am a merchant mariner and currently an OTR professional driver. I drive throughout the New England region for a large private carrier delivering meat and produce products to stores that you very well may shop at. While off work, I am familiarizing myself with microcontroller platforms like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and also 3D printing.
When it's cold and I don't want to go into the garage, I squeeze in some time on my current project, a 1/96th scale of NASA's Apollo-era mobile launch platform (MLP) and associated Launch Umbilical Tower (LUT). I am mostly fashioning it based on the 1960's-era Apollo program but am making some slight alterations for launching model rockets and trying to do so as realistically as possible. That will probably take me most of 2021 and hopefully will get to post some photos of the ongoing build.
I am also an amateur radio enthusiast and hold the General-license call N5WPG
