Rocketry Planet

VAN ORIN, Illinois USA — Wildman Hobbies is pleased to announce they have teamed up with a number of manufacturers to raffle away a Level 3 project to someone who wants to do their certification at LDRS this year.

We are putting this package together so some who normally wouldn't be able to do their Level 3 now can at LDRS 28 in New York on July 2-6, 2009. All you basically have to pay for is a $10 ticket.

A bright red example of the Extreme Wildman.

• Wildman is donating an Extreme Wildman Kit and the use of a rocket tracker to make sure you get the rocket back
• Wildman Pennsylvania is donating registration for the launch
• Wildman Kentucky is donating two banquet tickets
• AeroTech is donating an M1297 motor
• Missile Works is donating two RRC2-mini's
• Performance Rocketry is donating a quart-size set of the Proline 4100 epoxy, pumps and fillers
• Sky Angle is donating a Classic II 60" parachute and a C3 drogue
• Rouse-Tech is donating the use of a 75/5120 motor hardware set
• AeroPack is donating a 75mm motor retainer

The proceeds from this raffle will pay for a hotel room for three nights for the lucky winner. If we don't raise enough money, Wildman will pitch in the rest. To get into this raffle, you must be Level 2 and able to go to LDRS 28 in New York with this rocket completed.

Raffle tickets are $10 each and can be purchased from Wildman's by calling 815-638-3200. If we sell 130 tickets, we will give another one away. Any proceeds left over will go to Rockets 4 Schools.

The raffle will be held April 21-27 and will be shipped out on April 28.

If you would like to purchase this package outright (less the hotel and registration), you can for just $610.00*.

According to an email from Tim, Mike Law from Indiana is now going to LDRS in New York to do his level 3 flight.

Tim wants to thank everybody who joined this raffle and all manufacturers that donated to it.

Congratulations Mike!

First off, thanks to Wildman and all the other vendors for giving me this chance at my L3. There are so many, I hate to miss any of them. With the economy and our family medical challenges, I had all but written off trying for my L3 this year (or for any year in the near future). A good friend sent me a message saying, you might want to look at this…

When the phone rang and my son handed me the phone, I about choked on my chicken!

Needless to say, I couldn’t finish dinner and I’m still stunned. I hope to make everyone proud…

See everyone at LDRS!!

You seem like the right kind of person to benefit from this: humble and deserving. Congratulations! I hope to see more of you here at Rocketry Planet.
