i tried to make one. i failed miseribly.

They're not easy to make.  I dropped a dart on mine while playing darts one night and busted it : (

[BeyondFilming]

haha I see you were getting pretty serious while building this, with the apple juice!

DUDE!!! I never thought I would hear Bobby Rock outside of a drum clinic, or my own home!!! FANTASTIC!!! Cool rocket vid too btw.

[dahelmetrk]

Thanks. Bobby Rock performed in my band room in 8th grade with his monster drumset. It was a crowd of about 50 people so we were able to talk to him a lot. He's awesome.

[jeepnicc]

That's fantastic! I've seen him / met him twice, both times he played here in Redding, CA. He's as nice a guy as he is an awesome musician! I've learned a lot from him over the years. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess you're a drummer yourself?

Mine flies horizontally.  I wonder if it has something to do with the nose weight. It is neat to watch though.

[spoiledworm]

mine flies horizontily too!!!

i almost hit my neighbors house.

[driftingdonuts]

2 months later, I just finished mine, painting tomarrow, launching sun. or mon. (Hopefully)

[olmstedhockeyplaya3]

what engine did you use, because my SR-71 didn't go nearly as high (check my profile)

[dahelmetrk]

I just realized you posted this and I can't remember if I ever replied. I can't remember but I think I used a c6-4 engine. I can't be positive though.

i've built a couple of these, they are not easy but they come out looking nice. You guys are lucky not to have lost it to the rocket-eating trees.
