Ries ordered for fathersday a rocket for his dad. His dad was supposed to build te rocket and when ready to launch it. The rocket is able to reach a hight of about 600 feet.
But Ries’ dad never build the rocket at all. He claimed he doesn’t like fireworks, as the engine is nothing more then kind of a firecracker.
Last Sunday there was almost no wind, so Ries decided to get the rocket and built it himself. I was upstairs cleaning the bathroom and every time I got downstairs all I heared was swearing and Ries calling the rockets all kinds of bad names.
After 2 hours of swearing and building Ries finally finished it.
After dinner we went with Ries’family to a large open field near the IJsselake and the soccergrounds to launch the rocket.
After about 10 mins of reorganising the ignition as the rocket didn’t got launched, Ries finally placed the ignition correctly and his dad was able to launch the rocket.
There was a lot of smoke and the rocket took off so quickly, we weren’t able to see where it went.
At the time we found in the sky it flew allready above the trees of the soccergrounds.
We were no able to find the rocket, all Ries found back was the chute wich landed in the middle of a soccerfield.
