I was checking out the balsa planes in Michael's today. They have Estes rockets now, too. If you want to build a fearsome bottle rocket an Estes D engine on a dowel will nearly go supersonic...

remember those from years ago when i was a youngster.also that dope sniff.have'nt heard or seen anything like those planes in years.the kids today have more hi tec stuff for alot of bucks and don't bother with things like balsa airplanes.

Glue a bottle rocket to the tail of a balsa wood plane, and when it dried, you lit it, flung it, and watch it go "Bye-Bye".

Or light a bottle rocket, toss it in the air over a pond, and have it either shoot into the water and explode like a depth charge, or skipp across the water like a smooth stone.

Filling a 'pringles" can with match heads and lighting it to create a mini fire-fountain.

Dewhurst lumber in East Bridgewater still sells them, two or three different models. Right there at the counter when the weather gets warm.
