I've always loved doing rockets. I think from the time I was 10 to the time I could drive I built and flew a ton! My boys are now 5 and 6, and we have about 7 low power rockets. We went to the Tripoli MN event a few weeks back, and were really impressed by the bigger rockets. I stopped in my local hobby store over the weekend, and they had an Estes Argnet on clearance for $25.00!
I have it pretty much ready to go as far as the externals, and primed. I'll be laying the colors soon, I'm going with orange, black, and white. I'm not going to use the kit supplied shock cord, chute, or 3 layer fold deal you glue in, I have some other ideas for that. I also picked up a Jolly Logic chute release just for fun, I think they are pretty cool. (Sure stick $125 worth of electronics into a $25 rocket, smart guy right? :lol: )
