Those came out SWEET! I love the paint scheme on the MAKO.
Very nice, each of them!

Well, the beginners began painting their models yesterday and will finish them next week. Meanwhile, the advanced class got all the tubes cut, two'of them attached along with the base shroud. We...

Cool theme :D. More folks should have launches like that!
If you have a lot of kids (more than 10) I would recommend having two controllers so that you can get two rockets loaded then launched pretty quickly, the repeat. This is how I do my class launches...

Saw one fly the other day at our CMASS launch. MIT was breezy that day and I noticed the 3 gliders taking off down range upon deployment... I kept my eyes on them (they flew in formation the whole...
Oh! By the way.... They look stunning! :)
You say that all the gliders attached is what causes ONE to be tight. Not sure how this would happen, but if the others are loose enough, when they detach after boost the tightness will go with...
Well, thank you :) I'm but one of many out there working with kids like this. The secret? We Know how much fun it is! Problem is, Kathy has figured that out too. Now when I grab my range box and...

It is always a good idea for you to build one of the rockets ahead of time, so you know what you are expecting the kids to do.
Have you chosen a kit yet? Can I recommend the FlisKits...
Beautiful day here on the field! Gonna be a good day :)

Well, I'm back at the Pollard Elementary School in Plaistow, NH for my 11th straight year!

Actually hoping to do an update shortly!
