I've been doing this a long time but I've never bought a launch set or anything ready to launch. When I was a kid I bought normal rocket kits or scratch built everything, and built my own launch pad and launch controller. My wife had the idea to buy a launch set for one of our relatives who has a daughter about the age to watch rockets.
I looked at a few boxes at Hobby Lobby and saw that some sets include engines, others don't. I'm in favor of a slightly larger rocket, maybe BT50 to keep it a little bit lower and easier to find. I see that the sets all include the Electron Beam launch controller. How well does this work on AA batteries?
