10 years ago when I had time on my hands I built and really enjoyed flying model rockets. These were kits from Estes Rockets in Florence Colorado. Depending on how much detail you wanted I would guess a pretty intricate kit with an attached glider would take a couple of days. The kits were complete, detailed and came with a neat parachute to retrieve the model. I flew many of them dozens of time over. They would reach an incredible height.
The real joy was in flying them though. That prooves the work you did was good.... it could look pretty but....If it didn't fly correctly.
Wish I had the time..it's an interesting hobby, especially for children to learn.
