Welcome to Rocket Boy John's page!

I introduced my nephew, John, to model rockets while visiting my brother and his family in August 1999. John and I built an Estes Bandit, and it flew GREAT!! One of the launches on a C6-5 went almost a thousand feet high, then drifted at least half a mile uphill! After the Bandit, John bought a ready-to-fly Estes "MoonDog" rocket with his own money at Wal-Mart. We flew that a few times, too. I think he's hooked!

Bandit on the pad on a hill near
my brother's old house. There was an
elk grazing in the background,
in front of the red house, on the
edge of the road bank; right above my head.

Waiting for John to push the button

Pete caught the Bandit as it lifted off!
A perfect launch! Pete caught the
rocket before it hit the ground!
