Test flight

My grandson was able to assemble and launch the Astro within a couple of hours. Our bfirst launch served as a test flight using a streamer instead of parachute and without camera. The rocket performed well. Next flight will be with parachute and camera.

Should have gotten one many years ago

As a kid in the 1970's I used to love looking at the Estes catalog. I used to always check out the rockets and different sized engines at KB Toy and Hobby Shop at the mall. I am now 52 and bought my first rocket set for my 6 year old son. My only complaint is why did I wait so long?

How do I charge the camera

If the camera were to run out of batteries, how would I charge it? Does it even run out of batteries? I really like the camera and have been using it for many different projects because of its small size and high quality.
