Have you ever had more than one igniter failure? I think the most I’ve had is three on one launch. The third igniter was indeed a charm! In keeping with that “wait 60 seconds and try again” theme, this will be the third attempt at launching a club newsletter. And like my third igniter, I expect a good flight of this scratch-built thing this time!

Heads Up - the name of this publication, as suggested by Steve Lubliner (thank you, Steve!) - will be a communication hub for the club. While we have multiple forms of keeping in touch as members of SARA, the newsletter will draw it all together in a fun and exciting manner. Because I do believe the reason why we are all members of a model rocketry club is to have some exciting fun!

Available in your email box and on our website (click on the link at the bottom of this article!) quarterly, Heads Up will feature announcements, calendar items, news pertinent to the club, articles from and about member rocketry projects, a classified section, and general club and safety info that will keep us all flying.

So, let’s get to enjoying this newsletter. And please let me know your feedback at president@sararocketry.org once you’ve done so. This publication is for you, the SARA club member. Producing it for the sake of producing it is a waste of time. Making it yours will make producing it worth the while.

Onward...
