I've done "challenger" rockets but this one is way to hard to build for me to blow up. The F engines give it a thunderous launch. I've tested the stability to make sure it fires straight up like an arrow. It came with 3 24'inch parachutes but thats asking a lot because they tend to tangle. So when its launched I'm going to use a 45" nylon chute and about 20 feet of orange streamers so we have no trouble seeing it. The worst part about this is if it floats away. The look on a kids face watching his new rocket float away is such a downer that it forces me back into the gloop laboratory to build another one. I can say this though - the gas loaded rockets that I created to explode at about 1000 feet were great! Now that I can buy black powder I could improve on those big time.
