Well.... since you mention it...
You do not necessarily have to start out with a commercial kit, although I think going through a few kits is good for the education. You can , if you choose, get some parts and scratch build something a little more unusual!!!!!
Last December after the snowstorm launch, Bruce Weidner & I
were browsing the Dollar store in Ellsberry and discovered a CRAYON bank!!! Bruce insisted that I wasn't a real rocketeer until I had constructed a Crayon rocket!
I started to put in a 29mm motor mount and thought aw, what-
the-hey!!! I'll put in a 38mm!!!
Result: 2 really FAST flights on an H123 and an H142!!!!
Check out the pic!! Dr Don
