Tall Rocket

thingiverse

This is a rocket my seven-year-old son designed in Tinkercad, showcasing his creativity and ingenuity as an engineer-in-training. The model consists of multiple components that need to be carefully assembled using glue, with the addition of a launch lug attached to one side for stability during liftoff. I deliberately allowed him to take full creative control without offering any corrections, giving him the freedom to experiment and learn from his mistakes. This project is indeed a work in progress, as we continue to refine and improve its design. Initially, we tested it with an A8-3 engine but found it wasn't powerful enough; however, it did demonstrate some promise by flying relatively straight. In contrast, our subsequent test using a C5-6 engine yielded surprisingly impressive results.
