    All kinds of model rockets are great fun, especially wen you can make your own.  I was disappointed the how to video didn’t have any shots of the rocket being launched outside though. 

    I made some water bottle rockets this summer; here is the video of the launch.  http://youtu.be/QOAFRqjGVdw
