Hello all,
Typical story, mid 40s, always liked rockets, but have not launched any since I was a kid. Began watching YouTube videos, joined Tripoli and NAR and local clubs, attended a launch, now I have lots of questions. I just ordered a couple of Estes kits and was wondering what Upgrades or refinements people usually make. Alpha 3, Bandito, Gnome kits are on the way and I already have the Amazon and CrossFire.
Do people usually swap out the rubber band shock cord with something else? What material? How about the plastic parachute? Thank you for all the info.
