hello, i was watching the giants vs the phillies and saw a commercial that depicted a model rocket being launched. i have always enjoyed pyrotechnics as far as lighting off some fireworks goes. it got me to thinking that maybe i should purchase a rocket and have some fun in the front yard.
now i have not done much research by any means. all ive done is search yahoo for "model rocket" i found estes and checked wiki learning estes to be one of the first companies.... so anyway i really dont know anything about this, i searched for a model rocket forum and chose this one, the forums seem quite active....
i am 23 years old i am begining to get an interest in possibly buying a rocket.... i dont know what to expect as far as prices, but by no means do i mean to go to a store tomorrow and spend 200 dollars on a rocket kit....
can someone with some experience give me a little inside info into the hobby and some suggestions on a first rocket that will intrigue but not cost too much?
as soon as i get into something like this i would start searching for the biggest most powerful high powered rocket i could afford... im not interested in breaking the bank right now, just enjoying myself in the yard with a rocket that will give me some entertainment and leisure lol..... i just need some guidance. any input from someone with experience would be very helpful :fly:
