Well today was the big launch day. I will fill in more details and get some
pics posted later. We had 10 kids and had zero failures on the pads today!
Each kid prepped and launched their own rocket and all were recovered with
no damage.
We used Jim Flis' Whatchamacallit kit the jig tech worked very well with
the class room and limited build time. Anyone looking for a good starter
kit for 4th and 5th graders, this kit was spot on! BZ Jim.
Long story short we had 4 x 45 minute periods to build and fly the kits.
The first two sessions were used to build and assemble the rockets the
third session to paint them and the fourth was today to fly them.
Here are some related threads I have posted.
