Last week my son, Rocketeer41, brought his Estes Executioner to his Cub Scout den meeting for the "Build a Model" achievement. Two of his den-mates came to me separately to tell me about their own model rockets. Both of them were certain that their rockets were powered by gasoline and that their rockets smell of gasoline after being launched. I am inclined to think that they may be confusing model airplanes with rockets or may have been referring to their R/C cars. I did google liquid fueled model rockets and i found a few references to some kits which were available in the U.K. during the 50s and 60s which seem to have been powered by some fluid called "Petrol" whatever the heck that is.
Does anybody here know of any currently available commercially produced liquid fueled model rocket kits? I am asking about liquid fuel combustion rockets. Not the liquid Freon propellant rockets from the 1960s.
