Back
in 1974 we got bored and tried making rocket cars. These were made out of oat meal boxes
and wheels from an old toy. The black fins were savaged from my Big Bertha. To keep the
nose down, I used cardboard fins canted up. The problem we had with the car was keeping it
straight. |

My first The
Launch Pad Kit, an AMRAAM AIM. My first "D" cluster rocket. First kit was
damaged by UPS and dealer sent me a second kit for free. So I fixed the damaged kit and

still flew ok, no crashes. |
