    Great starter kit for young kids to build

    Great, simple kit to start kids building and flying rockets. This is for a 3 year old. We start young.

    Luna Bug

    This is a great little rocket. It is much better than the Mosquito. Having fins made of paper allow you to build it without the use of sanding sealer. The fin attachment is far easier as is recovery. Simple to build and simple to fly. I use it as a bonus rocket in my rocket camp for those who finish their build before the others.
