Default Old Water Rocket Find

I was at a local swap meet and found this water rocket for sale 10 dollars as is. I bought it and brought it home and test flew the rockets and they fly great. I don't know much about this rocket since it was before my time.

My younger brother had one of those.
It did not fly worth 10 cents of canine fecal matter.
A 1/4A Estes engine in a BIG BERTHA would fly considerably higher.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL
, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !

Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, and HAVOC !
