SandBox_Kid Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Seriously......not me, but I did buy my son a couple in the past and had a blast. We probably fired them off too close the Nellis AFB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EY3BA11 Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I have a buddy back home that used to take his rockets out to Ocotillo and launch them.. Had to inform the FAA when they were doing it as well.. They were effin HUGE.. the motors were insane. As far as me personally i have only done what i can find at a hobby shop or walmart. Which was lots of fun as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
