The Dude 7ft Balloon Rocket
Does anyone have one of these?
How stable are they? I can't imagine they fly very straight being made from a vinyl balloon. Any info anyone can give me would be would be greatly appreciated.

Imagine farting into a sock. That's THE DUDE in five words or less.

I've seen Dudes fly twice. Both got holes burned in them and went limp as they left the pad. Not one of the more successful ideas from the Estes think-tank.

How often do your coffee cups break? I've looked at those a couple of times and thought I might actually try one from scratch later on. Looks like it might be fun.

From the one I've seen fly, farting into a sock and lighting it might fly better. |

Nuke summed up EXACTLY what I have seen of the DUDE also.
A total TURD ! I think it would be more interesting to INHALE one's OWN farts than see one of these fly, and that is NOT something I'd like to do !
