Thank you, Allen. Now that I have done the level 1, I am more comfortable with 
going for number two. Don't think I want to go any bigger than level two.

Congrats Chris!

I have fond memories of my L1 flight in August 1998. You never forget your 
first time!

VB Javelin, H55 single use, I still have the spent casing. I still have the 
fins of that rocket on the rocket I currently am flying most!
