Does this include the little C-6-0, B-12-3, and other sizes I used to buy from Estes in Colorado and Centuri in Phoenix? They used to sell those in the hobby stores also. I guess a budding boy terrorist could build his own mini bazooka with something like that.

I don't know, but I don't see the "D" and larger sizes at the Wally Mart anymore. In fact, I see a whole lot fewer Estes rockets nowadays. What a folly. The ATF should just be disbanded.

I used to build rockets as a kid.

I recently got the bug again and ordered a few rockets and an "educator's pack" of engines (24) online. I didn't want them to go too high (I lost most of my rockets in my youth because they blew away), so i just bought A's, but B's, C's and D's were available.

I don't know if I'll have them by the 4th though. UPS will no longer deliver "hazardous materials", according to the online hobby shop, so they went "3rd class hazardous" USPS mail.

The package is trackable, but there's no ETD. The USPS could learn a lot from UPS and Fedex...

It's all my fault. When I was a kid I drilled a 1/8" hole in the head end of those and glued a cherry bomb there. Stuck zinc dust and sulfur and a fuse in the other end and put it in a pipe for aiming. Stupid bored kid stuff:)
