This is my first build thread, so forgive me if I omit things. I will try to be thorough. Give me critiques as I go to help everyone out.
I did not get any pictures of the un-built kit, but we have all seen a pile of tubes and balsa. Since this will be a night launch rocket I found these neat flashing lights at Walmart in the automotive section. I guess they use them in those boom-boom stereo cars with the annoyingly loud exhaust.
The strips are 14" in length and have a push button temporary "Try Me" switch. I was going to take a micro switch from one of the grandkids broken toys to put in the rocket. I also saw at Target light-up shoe laces that may work better because of lighter weight. Also these lights have an adhesive backing to stick them to the payload section.
