Crap thats a big model rocket. I used to do the small stuff and thought it was cool. It was relatively harmless stuff, you could crush the stuff in your hands easy.

But that thing, if that had a misfire that could be a problem!

sheeeeeeet!!

I want video of it...

There are more pics here, stole it from Al's website.

Al's sponsers the guy that does "model rockets" The Discovery channel had a special about it a while ago and he was on there! Pretty impressive what they can do!

man you'd think with something that big the gov would be all over your butt

Id ride it!

Now I think that is the dirtiest thing I have ever heard on this board!!!!

LOL Yeah i guess i should have thought about how i worded that!

WOW, thats hilarious.

Actually they are. You need a low yield explosive license for these types of rockets. You must contact FAA before you launch anything.

Yea, And this preceding it don't make it sound any better

man, this rocket stuff gets very interesting.. my brother was into it, we had to drive two hours to clear the freakin' airspace of the airports for him to launch the thing!! absolutely insane... some of the guys up there were putting bowling balls on the noses of the rockets and parachuting them down onto a target

as for me - I got the hell out of rockets when every one of them that I put up either went on a very tall roof or into a very tall tree

to get into some of the bigger engines you do have to get a license to buy the parts... but these are the rocket engines that put them into stratosphere!!

I used to play wit hthe litle rockets, but that was about it. Every now and then they have the competitions on TV. Some crazy stuff they do. Multiple burn stages, splitting apart rocket, bowling balls, tallest rocket..... tons of crazy stuff.
