Today looks like a good day...
 

To introduce my son to the world of model rocketry :humpty:

That was a great day. I loved doing that. However, his interest wained.

He's only 6-1/2 so I'm not expecting this to go very far...but when you can find a complete kit (just need batteries and engines) at TJMaxx for 19.95 some things are just worth doing.

My expectation is he'll last about 3 launches.

Yep, we didn't get into the big engines. sad, sad.

R/C the same thing

This kit is pretty cool. Comes with the launch pad and ignition system, along with parts to make two rockets. All the fins are press fit plastic so it's nearly impossible to screw up.

The smaller rocket we made with a C engine is going to scream, I hope we can find it...

I can see the headline, grass fire caused by overeager dad causes major damage

Mission Success

Hell, he could have done this all day.

cool, couldn't tell given the size of the windmill in the pic. i drive that section of road everyday

How many points do you get when you hit an outfielder....infielder....pitcher.....the batter?

Only had one land on the field after the wind started picking up...unfortunately didn't get a hit.

I loved doing that as a kid. Exciting and disciplined hobby when done right. Do they still have little cameras for the rockets?

Great pictures. I will have to do that soon.

Looks like a great time. Did you get the kit recently at TJ Maxx?

Looks like you both had a good time. Enjoy. :)

Last week...but if you don't find on they're only 5 bucks more at Toys R us.

I was into that when I was a kid_ lots of fun. Then I discovered girls and got married. Now I'm thinking of getting into model rocketry again.

im suprised you didnt paint little red flags with yellow stars on the side of the rocket

Red neck ... leave the kid alone .. Chicks dig long hair.. Good job Dad ..

Mullet job

Those decals didn't come in the kit.

Who's the long haired hippy in the pix?
Nice, i used to have all kinds of rockets when i was younger. then when i got older they all got packed full of powder and blown to kingdom come! Get him one of those 3 stage bad boys that has 3 D engines! I fired one off and thing went to the moon, never saw it again.
