Estes Mercury Redstone Rocket

Fun!  I was into model rocketry until it just got too hard to find a place to launch down here in socal.  Too many rules.

I built a V2 and airbrushed it in a tri-color cammo.  Launched perfect, but the nose cone was too tight or had a bad motor - anyhow, she nosed over and came back down looking totally scale and cool lol.  Only would have been better if it had a scale explosion when it hit the ground.

Good luck with the project and I hope the kids really get into it.

I tried flying model rockets for awhile, but went back to airplanes.  Then, Grandkids got interested, so I helped them for awhile, but they didn't stay interested.

Looks like a nice kit, pretty accurate and detailed compared to most scale flying rockets I have seen.

That brings back some memories.

Hope you and the troop both have fun.
