My name is David Pacheco, and this is my web site. I'm 17 years old, and I live in Rhode Island.

There have been 22158 people to this site since December 14, 1999 and another 2500 since the February 16th, 1999...although page counters tend to be inflated by bots.

I re-did this page to use style sheets (more efficient and easier to handle), and it's not fully compatible with Netscape 4.0. I recommend you upgrade, or you can just settle for what you see on this and other pages that use style sheets ;-)

Outer Limits Rocketry

Todd Harrison and I started a company called Outer Limits Rocketry selling kits and supplies. I'm trying to keep this site from being commercial, but it's starting to get expensive to keep it ad-free. I figured plugging my own company here is better than pop-up banners. I hope you'll agree.

Lack of updates

OK, so I don't have any real great excuses. I was working, then school started, and now there's the show at school and college stuff to prepare, so I haven't gotten to doing a lot of updates. I'm going to try to be a little more frequent with them...

NYPOWER 2002

I didn't take as many pictures as last year, because I concentrated more on videos. I hope to have more of those, too, but it's on the back burner for now.

Frontier June

Several pics, including Todd Harrison's 2-stage H-to-I in his PML Thunder-n-Lightning.

1/4 Scale Patriot

I'm done building my PML 1/4 Scale Patriot Missile. Update: the Patriot was zippered most of the way down at NYPower and I haven't fixed it yet. More to come....

Launch Controller and Altimeter Bay

I've made a page each for the Bravo II altimeter bay and my new multi-pad launch controller. Check out the Rockets and Projects page for more information.

Guide to Rocketry

I have been in the hobby for a few years but being a member of a local NAR section, I have picked up quite a few tips and tricks. That's why I wanted to start this guide.

General Topics

  1. Rocketry Basics

  2. Construction

  3. Launching

  4. Winter Flying Tips

Advanced topics

  1. Designing (scratch building)

  2. Building fins (scratch building)

  3. Dual-Stage Deployment

  4. Staging/Clustering

As I get more free time, I'll add more sections to the Guide. If you have any tips, email them to me.

About Me

Me? Well I'm G.Y.R.O. (Global Youth Rocketry Organization) member #135, and NAR (National Association of Rocketry) #77711. I have created a web site about me for anyone interested. It has some of my favorite quotes (and many that I have written) as well as some things that I think are worth reading.
