Rocket 1.2

After hearing how cool Liam's rocket was at school, Kyle decided they should build one for home too! No bike pumps for these guys...we have an air compressor. The first launch ended up in the trees and resulted in the destruction of the nose cone. After some quick repairs, it was back to the launching pad.


The replacement nose cone (after hitting the house and the ground).

Filling the fuel...soapy water.

Clear the launching pad!!

LIFT OFF!! If you click on the picture you can see the rocket as a smudge slightly to the left of center above the tree tops. I don't think it flew quite that high, it was higher than the house roof but not the monster birch trees. Too much fun!
