Nice pics; it's cool to see your daughter into something like rockets, hope it sticks with her. The one that's blurred looks like the Estes X-15, right?

here's a couple of my last rockets, from about 1991. The first one is a 1/4 scale Honest John, which was an Army surface-to-surface missile from the late '50's. The full size had about a twenty-five mile range and was capable of carrying a small nuke. My model was 6-1/2 feet long, scaled up from the Estes kit. Mine flew on "J" and "K" motors and would reach 5000+ feet. It had an electronic altimeter which could be used to deploy the parachute.

The second one was the upper stage of my 1/3 scale Terrier/Sandhawk (a sounding rocket used for high altitude research), being readied for launch. It was a bit over 8 feet long, and the booster was 6 feet. The booster could use as big as an "M", but I only flew it once as a two stage, and used an "L" for the booster. The upper stage could use a "K". The day I flew it as a 2-stage, I had a "J" in the upper stage, an "L" in the booster, and got just over 11,000 feet. The rocket weighed35 pounds with engines, chutes and electronics. My booster chute failed to deploy correctly and it crashed, but I got the upper stage back, it landed about a mile away.
