In series.., thats the ticket, its all coming back now, like throwing away the experiment book that came with the chemistry set, or making some real rockets when rocketry was rocketry ;)
BTW at 14 yrs old I designed my own replacement for the parachute, it was a set of blades that auto-rotated the rocket back down to earth (the rocket hung underneath and had a fish line spinner bearing isolating it from the rotor assembly. It actually worked pretty good.
The new Junior Experiment kits can make a cool high power lepton generator
I think that would be 'lefton generator' Hmmmm, just shows you that even radio shack technology can be corrupted for bad ends.

When I was in high school, I knew some folks who made modifications to models rockets that would send the ATF into a tizzy. As it is, I have ideas on how to turn a stock model rocket into a guided rocket...I haven't acted on the designs because I do not care to go to federal prison.
