    24mm Toilet Paper Tube Rocket

    I've been off of the forum for awhile so I thought I'd show some of the stuff I've been up to. 😁 This is a scratch build I made with my son a little over a year ago. It is constructed out of toilet paper and paper towel tubes. It flies beautifully off of composite E and F motors.
