    Model Rockets

    Filed under: aviation, family — michael @ 9:44 pm

    It was fun to get the old rockets out of the basement and see them fly again. The rockets and engines were 19 years old. My niece and nephew each had a rocket they built in science class last spring that we launched too. After 20 years, AA batteries get a bit corroded and Estes igniters fall apart. We did have one of the old engines malfunction too. It is definitely safer and easier to use new stuff.
