New source for cone rockets

[wwattles]

I think someone may be missing the market for their product here. Paper cones that are bright orange and only cost $2.50 each... hmmm... why does this sound so darn enticing?

What do you guys think?

Definitely sounds interesting. To be like a "traditional" plastic/rubber cone, it would have to be somewhat heavy. For $2.50-$3 though, it's hardly an expensive gamble to take! Please update us with anything more that you find out

From what it looks like, they aren't heavy at all. The bottom has an outward-cupped lip that is for putting the weight into (sand, gravel, waterbags, etc). The description of the product says that its about the same thickness as a cereal box, which is roughly the same as our mainstream BT's. I may just have to order myself a couple and see what happens!

You'll want to order at least six to make the postage costs affordable, I'm afraid. $2.50 for a cone and $19 for parcel post to my zone takes it from "gee, I'll try that" to "I'd rather buy a new Redstone."

I have made cone rockets out of birthday party hats.

You can get 8 in a pack for only a couple of dollars.

Go to a party store and you have an unlimited selection of designs to choose from.

Here is the hat made into a rocket.
