this is dumb as hell if it contains explosives

Why? Done correctly and with supervision solid engine model rockets are very safe and awesome. You don't even have to light anything, ignition is electric and controlled from a safe distance. Think burn, not boom.

  1. Estes rocket company.

Lots of fun.

I had wick ignition and electric ignitors.

The company has lots of models and the sport shop uptown sold a full line of their stuff.

Fun times .
