still cool

i remember how exciting rocketry was when i was a child i am now 68, i have a 8 yr. old grandson now, looking for a connection with him i remembered estes rockets, to see the look on his face when that rocket took off was priceless, i can only hope this is a start for he and i to enjoy this field of dreams together. thanks

Good little flyer

I have 2 of these kits now. I use the first one as a test rocket when we get to the field to test rod angle and win sheer. the second kit i used to build the core of a custom tsar bomba. Such a good kit for a really good price. easy to build and fun to fly.

Spiffy Little Rocket

This little guy lives up to his name: very satisfying hi altitude flights even with b64s. It is pretty heavy for a tumble recovery rocket, and if it lands on anything hard, fins will break. I keep some superglue handy when I fly this one. But even after each fin breaking off and being glued on (it took an exceptional beating on one landing) it still flew great! AWESOME rocket! This speedy rocket needs to be in your collection!!
