Hi.
Reminder: Pack Meeting on Monday December 12, 7pm in Fellowship Hall.
Rockets
Since the fall camping trip, some of you have asked for info about the rockets that we built and launched at Elson Farm (thinking about Christmas ideas maybe???).
Here's the scoop.
We've used Estes brand rocket kits. Over the years, we've found that "level 0"-beginner- are the best for the grade-school age kids as the level 1/2/3 kits require more precise gluing (and patience).
You can get kits at hobby shops; usually less than $10/kit and in the $20 range for a launching set. I've occasionally seen them at Kmart/Walmart also.
If you are looking for bulk, the Pack buys mail-order from AC Supply (http://www.acsupplyco.com/estes/estese2x.htm).
If you are looking to buy a kit or two/launch pad, please do not buy engines! Check with cubscouts661@verizon.net as we have a significant number in stock from recent canceled trips!
Please let us know if you have any other questions about the rockets; the kids did enjoy them at the farm this year.
