At our last meeting on Monday April 7th Estes Model rockets were handed out to our Cubs. All Cubs and Webelos are to build the rocket at home with their parents. The instructions are included in the kit. If you need a new instruction sheet here is an online Link. Once finished please put your cubs name on the rocket. You may decorate the rocket but please keep in mind weight and anything attached will effect the flight characteristics of the rocket. Rocket Safety Rules are available HERE Online.
I have 1 (one) rocket engine per cub for launch day. Plus a few backups in case of failures. You may purchase additional rockets on your own. However we may not be able to do multiple launches for a cub it will depend on time constaints.
We will do a rocket inspection at our meeting on April 14th to make sure all rockets are ready to fly. We may be launching at our meeting on April 21st, it will depend on logistics and weather.
If your cub was not at the meeting on the 7th I will have additional rockets at our April 14th meeting. This project was paid by our fundraisng efforts last fall. Thank you to all who raised money through Popcorn sales.
