Where's a good place to launch Estes rockets without getting into trouble? My son is five. He asked me about the model rockets that were sitting on my model shelf, so I bought a few engines and we went to the local county park- largest park in the area. We had a great time launching it. We built another Estes rocket together and took it to the park for its maiden flight. Lots of fun and brings back good memories. But someone called the police. The policeman didn't ask us to leave though. He exited his vehicle, watched us perform a launch and then left. We were responsible- brought a fire extinguisher, jug of water, etc.
I remember this being the very reason why my parents gave up launching rockets when I was a kid- people called the cops.... we got a talking to....
Somehow it's okay to hit a baseball from the same park, going over 100mph; but launching a rocket results in calls to the police?
