The thing is the engines are so expensive we started making our own. The first time they were bad, but we got better and better.

Its real funny because we live on a lake. So we set up a Kayak Rocket Rescue team. Half the fun is finding them either in trees or the numerous wildflower fields.

We don't use electric start. I just bought some dynamite fuse at a gun show. It is way faster and more predictable.

What do you make the engines out of? Black powder?
