Jeff BoldigAKA: Handeman Location: Stafford VA Certification Level: L2 Tripoli Club Memberships: Triploi Central Virginia #25 Favorite Rockets: Packers Backer (a Binder Design Thug) Biography: I'm a BAR and have been flying again since 2003.
I'm a member of Tripoli Central Virginia #25. Our launch site is called BattlePark since it is located on the Cedar Mountain Battlefield near Culpeper Virginia.
I earned my Level 1 certification in 2007 with a scratch built, dual deployment rocket on an Loki I110 moonburner motor to and altitude of 4,200 ft.
My level 2 certification flight in 2009 was with a K695R to 6,828 ft. The nose cone was lost so I put one on from another rocket and flew it again an hour later to get the cert. As of 5/12/12 that rocket, called GrapeShot, has flown 15 times now, reached 9,559 ft and Mach 1.2. It's the workhorse of my fleet and has taken a lot of punishment over the last three years. It has been solid and never need a repair, knock on wood! ;-)
