Oh man, my father and I used to shoot model rockets off as a kid. I recall losing one on the roof of the local Middle School once and I thought it was the coolest ever.
This price is a little steep, in my opinion.
- acomjean 4y agoI remember lst century learning that the "c" rocket engines although the same size go way way higher and watching the rocket and parachute drip over the trees never to be found again. That and "Hobby Wick" which ensured takeoff because those electric fired ignitors hardly ever worked right..
- SoftTalker 4y agoYou had to use the expensive "solar igniters." The ones that came in the engine packs never worked.
- titzer 4y agoI had made a few after getting into it from Boy Scouts, and when my time came to engage in the yearly tradition of high school physics kids launching rockets in the football field, instead of making a new one, I just brought my Big Bertha from home. I hadn't launched it yet. It used one massive "E" engine. First launch, dwarfing the launchpad, it exploded. AFAIK its battered fuselage was hung in the physics room until the teacher retired. Good times.
- kjs3 4y agoYeah...Estes rockets were one of the few things my dad and I shared in the 70s. Nostalgia is a helluva drug.
