Owen participated in the Monroe Cub Scouts Rocket Races tonight. Grandpa Vater helped with the design and it worked great! Owen's rocket was one of the farthest and fastest travelling rockets on the evening. Most parents were trying to figure out how Owen's went so fast and were quickly duplicating the propeller setup. We were able to slip on three rubber bands and at about 100 turns of the propeller we were ready to go. Both Owen's and my fingers show the wear of loosely holding the propeller and having it "snap" onto our fingers. Lesson learned. On the last launch of the evening for Owen, the rocket jumped off the string and crashed into the floor, snapping the propeller. We'll super glue it back on so it can be displayed with pride on his bookshelf at home.
