My oldest grandson and I built this scratch built rocket last week. Its built entirely out of non kit parts.
I cut all the stuff out and he helped put it together and did most of the painting. Last minute I changed the
streamer to a small chute.
Flew it twice on an A10-3T and it flew very well.
He seemed to enjoy the experience.....We both had fun.

Good job! It looks like he had a good time and it sounds like you both did. Very cool that you made it entirely from scratch.
 
Thank You all.
This picture didn't post yesterday, but it kind of says it all. The sun was shining bright and it was to bad temperature wise. My grandson will be 7 in three days, and yes, the best part is that we had fun together.
Don't get to do this stuff often enough.
