So, is anybody else here an amateur rocketeer? If you aren't familiar with model rockets, they're these small cardboard tubes with nosecones and parachutes and fins made to look like rockets. There are special engines you can buy, in a large varieties of sizes determined by numbers and letters, filled with a special solid rocket fuel. I think you can see where this is going.
Anyway, wanted to know if anybody else fired these off occasionally. Most of mine are custom, but I can show you the 3 store bought ones I have (and the one I lost)

Haha, that pencil one is pretty cool. I remember making one of these in a class somewhere. It was pretty fun but I wish I had known more about it.

Wow, that is great you are into model rocketeering Thatguy, I assumed the youth of America did not have anymore cool or worthwhile hobbies.
I was really into it when I was younger with my older brothers.
