You guys could do KNO3 and sugar rockets as well. Fairly stable and cheap to make. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Oct 17, 2012 at 4:19 PM, Kelly Vanderwell <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:kelly.vanderwell@gmail.com" target="_blank">kelly.vanderwell@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

And the one I remember using, longer ago than I care to admit, was at least as primitive as that. It was a plastic harness that clipped onto the top of a marine battery, with a cable-connected remote control the size of a small candy bar for launching from a safe distance. I can't even remember if there was anything besides the weight of the battery to keep the apparatus upright long enough to get the rocket into the air!<br>

Rockets are cool! I have a few that I haven't flown in a while. If<br>
my son were older, we'd be there.<br>

Hey GRLUG,<br>
<br>
My son is 8 and interested in Rockets and I was thinking of ordering a<br>
12-pack of some skill level 1 rockets from:<br>

How many people would bring their kid/kids over on a Saturday or Sunday<br>

<br>
I've got a launcher with copper contacts that should still work and will<br>
bring it out at tonight's GRLUG Social (will post pictures tomorrow)<br>
