Riptide is a great beginner rocket

My 10 year old nephew Luke was just thrilled with Riptide and it's performance. We launched it 3 times that weekend!
He is going to be purchasing intermediate rockets so he can put his mind and hands to work creating something that he can launch and take pride in knowing he built it. 5 stars too Estes....they were a big part of my childhood in the 1970's.
