As i move forward with my L1 Cert with my Zephyr, I showed one of my grandson's (he's 8, and already seen my Zephyr) videos on youtube of rocket launches.. HAHAHA, his eyes got as big as saucers! previously i asked my son-in-law if he would be alright with me buying him an Estes kit.. (he said yes). so as my grandsons eyes are wide open i asked "can you do this"? he smiled and said yes! so i then told him "well then your in.. i already got the ok from your dad". i mentioned that we would build it together, with me overwatching.., and that when i go to the launch in Dalzell, he'll come with me. the look on his face made it all worth it!
on tuesday last week, we went to hobby lobby and he picked up (with me buying of course) the Estes HI Flyer' and i picked up the Estes Tigress. when picking one for me.. i decided to get a lower model then him.. when looking at the hi-flyer' on the estes E it'll be reaching just about 1500', and it looks like the Tigress with fly to ~1100' on a C.
Kits are basic.. especially the tigress.. snap-together with plastic cement. the hi-flier, is a kit that he'll be able to do with a little help from "granpa"
kits + motors about 50 bucks.... him wanting to do it with me... priceless.
