I buy School rockets and give them to all minors who will take them or their parents. I have to restock. I have not tried the 3” because I would cheerfully spend 4x as much.

I have built a number of the original School Rockets both by myself and in leading group builds. It's a marvelous model. I built one of the Gyroc clones when I first got back into rockets about 10 years ago, and I have an Alway Saturn V from the recent run in the kit stash.

Never built a kit, but I have bought a bunch of tubes and balsa from him. I do have a Bomarc kit, but it's still sealed.

They talked about the 29mm motored 3” School Rocket and an add-on payload section/e-bay at NARAM this year - both things that can only make a really good rocket even better!

Comrades:

I've built the BMS Drifter, Mini-Bomarc and several Alway Arcas. All flew well.

In the stash is an Alway Saturn V , Gyroc and an Arcas or two.

I want an Astrobee 1500.

I've built the Mini Bomarc (I'd love to get another one,) and the Mars Snooper. Both are great kits.
