Hehe your son's reaction was epic. XD Were you able to recover the rocket? I remember doing this in my tech class in secondary school. Quite fun. Did racing cars, barges, rockets, hot air balloons, and a few other stuff. I don't know if they still have classes like that anymore.

Still havnt flown my RC Help, but have now got myself a RC Helo Sim called Realflight were you get a transmitter connect via USB to PC (Windows ~ Ill be putting W7 on a Bootcamp Partition) and ill fly and crash this until i have good enough controls to fly the real thing. It will come in time :) and this way i keep the price down on repairs lol
