Awesome! Can you put a camera on it?

Probably, it would just require designing a tube section to carry one.
For fans of Kerbal Space Program, OpenRocket is VERY similar to the VAB, but less cartoony, more CAD. I'm really digging it! |

I love model rocketry! Got my Civil Air Patrol Model Rocketry qualification last year and had a blast doing it. I still have a few of my rockets laying around but I have nowhere to lauch them. I earned my qual. on the parade field at Ft. Leonard Wood.
Would love to get into it again.

I still miss that big "Patriot" rocket I got from Estes back in the late '70s. The thing had a nice heft to it and even lifted off in slow-motion. I'm still convinced that if I search that woodlot again for the umpteenth time I'll find it.
  Unfortunately, the woodlot is no more and so probably is the rocket.

I suggest the introduction of cannon fuse and match heads because what is rocketry without explosions. The '70s Estes Catalog was wonderful for suggesting what not to do, one didn't have to come up with it oneself. And for inspiration "Hello Kitty in Space" by Lauren Rojas

Fantastic hobby:
I remember the name Estes even from way back myself; who couldn't love a hobby you set fire to?! I expect half the excitement lay in wondering whether you'll ever see the thing again once it's blasted off. Great stuff, Gargamel...

Estes has been around for decades. Designed many rockets that I purchased, assembled, painted and launched never to be seen again.
 I had a lot of fun with rockets.
