Hi guys,
I have not long returned from Florida, to the UK for a weeks hols.
I knew from this forum that rockets are cheap out there, so I had the intenstion of sticking loads in my case to fly home to blighty.
My luck was in as I found a WALMART on the 192.
They only had a few kits, and Launchables.
I found a Baby Bertha, Fatboy
There was a kit like the xfliers which I should have bought but stooooopidly I never.
And a Maxtrax Kit $24
Whoping price of $8.44 for the baby bertha & FatBoy
I bought "WOODY" the BB & "PWALPOCO" the fatboy.
I bought myself the BB,FB & Maxtrak
Man these where real cheap compared to UK prices
The Maxtrak is about £40 which is almost $70 with ex rate of 1.75
The maxtrak, as it's a KIT, had 2 Motors, which i put in water and bined, I put a note on them saying Explosives had been removed from the kit.
Man did I have a lot of explaining to do in SANFORD airport.
I nearly broke down to cry, but luckily I explained myself very well to the Manager, but was told if the machine detected explosives they would be bined, but thatnks for declaring them.
WARNING " IF YOU PLAN ON BRINGING THESE BACK FROM THE US REMOVE THE MOTORS AND DECLARE THEM, OR YOUR IN SERIOUS TROUBLE"
Lucklily I did the right thing, or I would have been questioned for ages, and possibly shot.
Now our team ARC have a few more rockets to play with !!
