As someone who is just getting into high powered rockets I gotta say there is just so much information available it was a little hard figuring out where to get started. So good idea for a video series I will definitely be keeping an eye out for future videos.

I've heard of PPL!! These guys are the real deal! I'm an old man now which means, I have more time, more money and more access to cool tools...
