Rocket Launch Friday 9/5

rob — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 14:58:32 +0000

We’re going to have a rocket launch on Friday 9/5 starting 6 PM at the Rollingwood Baseball Fields (Rollingwood Drive by the Pool).

Rocket kits (both ready-to-fly and you build it) are available from Hobby Town (near Strait Music), Hobby Lobby (near Toys-R-Us) , and other fine purveyors of science products. You should write your cell # on your rockets. I only plan for a rocket to last 3 launches so invest your time/money appropriately. I have lots of left over rockets from the world record setting Troop 990 launch. They need minor repairs but are free to a good home if you want one.

REMEMBER TO BUY EXTRA ENGINES for your rockets. I try to have extras (usally $1/each) but can make any promised.
