...Launching rockets isnt illegal, immoral, nor fattening!
Whats the big idea here punk? *Popeye accent*
I got a question.. Are water rockets good for the first ever model rocket? and are they allowed to be talked on this forum?
as for my first rocket I think its a great choice.From a 100K rockets to water rockets, what a step down,

Its a huge step UP from dropping car batteries from 700 feet.
hehe

I never said I wanted to go to space for my first rocket.....Look Viper.
I'm going to put this bluntly.
You are trying to send HPRs to SPACE without having built a single model rocket before. Most of the L3 Cert. people on this forum couldn't do that, and they've designed built and launched at least 100 rockets.
Here's what I think you should do.
1. Build a simple Estes LPR kit, such as the Big Bertha.
2. Fly this kit on a standard Estes BP 18mm motor.
3. If you're still interested in the hobby, advance on to scratchbuilding a LPR.
4. Either scratchbuild or kit build a MPR.
5. Then, and only then should you consider trying for your HPR 1 Cert.
Good luck, and I hope you enjoy the wonderful hobby of Model Rocketry!

Yes but I cancelled the idea. I don't feel like buying tanks of helium and than have it sit there in my garage for months.You implied it with the helium baloon idea.
Also how would you start your engines once the balloons popped..
Youd need a really strong wireless connection..
I started with a Millennium Falcon
It did the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs. Though I've never tried, it will out run Imperial starships....and not the local bulk cruisers
But you had to make a lot of special modifications yourself didn't you?

Yeah, but it didn't look like much
He just fix the problem of clustering ; we put a car battery in the rocket and use relay to fire the igniters, so even after quit the launch a slow motors can start.
