How Do I Build My Own Rocket

 First off, building a rocket from a paper towel tube and match heads is not only prone to failure, it can be dangerous. Please learn and understand before you try to fly. If your young, you should be doing this with adult supervision. Even us older fliers need adult supervision at times. One of the goals of Tripoli is to provide rules and guidence to keep this a safe sport. Don't do this alone, it's fun to do things togeather.

 If you've never flowen a rocket before, there are many small kits available at most hobby stores, and even Wal-mart. These are inexpensive and can give you knowledge and skills you'll need for larger models. You can buy larger kits from Rocket Technologies, our onsite vendor, Hub hobby in Little Canada or Richfield, or from various Internet vendors. Check out our Links link for some suggestions.

 You can also attend one of our monthly launches or meetings. If there is one thing a rocketeer likes to do almost as much as flying their rockets, its talking about their rockets.
