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.

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...
