Here's my "Fleet" so far. All are done and ready to fly.
With the engines I'm going to use, they should all go 450 to 500 feet altitude.
I could put bigger engines in them, but then I'd have to chase them further, when they come down by parachute.






This is what they look like when you buy them.
Generally, paper tubes, 1/8 inch thick plywood fins, and plastic nose cone...

Bet you'll need clearance from Norad

Very nice.


If I see one fly overhead I'll retrieve it for you.

Nope.
The ones I built are all "mid" power rockets.

When you move up to high power rockets, you need certifications to fly those.

If I launch a mid power rocket in Pittsburgh, and it flies over you in Canada... it will be a Guinness World's record.

You never know, a good breeze, it's only a couple hundred miles.

Maybe if it Takes Off, Eh

Semroc Flying Model Rocket Kit Trident™ KV-71






Back in the 70's I always wanted this rocket, but the funding was never there.

This rocket is different than most other rockets. The engine's "ejection charge", doesn't go up the center body tube. It's "ducted" up the three smaller tubes surrounding the center tubes(s).






Here's an exploded view of this model rocket...

Wow that looks really cool!

He is going to land a human on the moon before NASA.
