Estes "Patriot" model rocket launches - "Holy cow!"

This was our first time launching model rockets, and all four of our launches were successful. Our first launch wasn't filmed, but that engine was a B4-4 or something and didn't go as high. I then used C6-4 engines and those went nearly out of sight.

Lots of fun! The kids loved it, and I had a blast!

The best part is watching those kids have fun - That's great !

Been building model rockets since 1971 , And I will always enjoy watching other's fly theirs - I have lost so many ))

Cutting the chute is the way to go along with some baby powder - helps the chute open and you can see the white powder for spotting

@all4mac Thanks for the tips on the rocket! We had a good time.

@sethpnc did you mean c6-5?

[sethpnc]

@JDrockerDUDE Probably C6-5 then. I've only shot rockets this one time, so I was probably going from memory.
