Hundreds of makers all over the world have built this launcher and rockets since its release in MAKE Vol. 15. Now you can too! We included almost everything you need to get started right away. Just add a bicycle pump, tape (masking, duct, electrical and Teflon recommended), two 9v batteries and you are ready to blast these paper and tape rockets hundreds of feet in the air with just a few pumps!
While the design of the launcher has been modified a bit, making it more practical for home or school use (new compact stand and now uses two standard 9v batteries), its the same great, crowd-wowing project. This kit is simple to build and perfect for individuals, small groups or science classes. Once you build the launcher, additional rockets can be made for just pennies each. All parts for the launcher are heavy-duty; built to last for years of high flying fun. The rockets are reusable, clean, and can be legally launched on a small field in a big city. As projects go, this kit gives you the maximum bang for you buck.
Just follow the new kit assembly instructions online here. Download a rocket template here. For additional guidance, we also have an older build video here and a Weekend Projects video here, though these are for slightly different versions of the launcher.
