Ya'll did it

Just wanted to let you guys know, you have got me infatuated with the Crayon rockets. When I get back from Tennessee, I am going on my journey for my tubes. Someone told me I could use a plastic bank for a tube or a cardboard one. Which do you prefer, or can I only use one kind? I was thinking the cardboard, because I know how thin the plastic is and i'd think it would melt the first or second time I put it up on the 29 mm motor mount I was going to put it on. Any advice/ suggestions?? Thanks in advance!

The only crayon banks I've used or seen have been paper. However, I have used and seen many plastic doohickies turned into rockets. In general paper is easier to use than plastics as a wider varieties of glues adhere to it.

The crayon banks are a great rocket value. The ~4dia ones are the most common but the company makes others.

My son came home today from a yard sale with a Crayon bank. I said "hey bud, you know we can make that fly dont you", and he took off running to his room yelling "NOOOOOOOOOO!!"
We are still "negotiating".

The Ralphco crayon banks from We Be Toys are only 5 bucks. You get a plastic nose, cardboard tube, and plastic fincan.
