So after the rocket launches, what happens to the payload? Is the parachute in the silver tube, and the clear tube pops off with the nose cone?

The payload area stays together. The rocket seperates at black fitting below the payload.

It's just like a regular tire tube with a valve stem and cap. Just press the inner pin and the air is released.

Assuming the tube is functioning normally, yes the ball will keep the tube from sinking or allowing the nose of the tube from diving at take off. I used it with a two person tube and a three person tube pulled behind my pontoon at about a 5 thousand foot lake in Colorado. I was very pleased with its performance!

Try flying without the hull. You will want to let it hover in the spot you take off from for a few so it can lock onto the satellites. On another nite, be super careful with the return home function. Mine got confused and flew past the launch site and right into a tree.

The whole rocket is light plastic and foam, with just a bit more weight in the top (nose). If you have a moderate wind, the rocket will be pushed downwind as these are not model rockets and meant to be used by children around 8-10.

Yes, the spent rocket must be gathered or retrieved after each stomp. Try to avoid high populations and houes because the rocket are capable of traveling long deistance. We wear safety glasses for all the young kids who get close to the launch spot. Also do not launch on grey days as the rockets will disappear.

Conner: Good question. I'm not sure of the answer. We used the rocket ship for a gag and did not fire it. My guess is that it might accommodate a small egg but might be a little narrow for a standard sized egg. Good luck.

When you hit the target it falls. The string on it is very long so you can try further away. You pull the string and the target pops back into place. It has the smaller area holes to add if you want more difficulty. It is air gun, so it shouldn't puncture. It's just whether or not you hit it the target to drop it.

There is a tube with a 'C' shaped clamp on either end that attaches to the landing gear. When attached, the whole assembly is more rigid, but you could leave it off for a more springy effect. Hope this helps.

I am not able to provide you with that answer as the altimeter is now attached to a rocket which is stuck in a tall pine at the current moment. If a swift wind brings it down, maybe we will have an answer for you then. The new altimeter has not been launched yet.

Yes, engine is replaced after each flight, and rocket returns to ground safely via parachute.

Well it would depend purely on the size of the balloon. I would say this parachute weighed approximately 7 or 8 ounces so I would think 3 normal sized helium balloons would lift it off the ground and carry it pretty high. Not sure of the intent here but I could see a pretty cool game with a air rifle.

All that happens is the co2 builds up and the plastic shell ruptures. But you can put bbs in the shell and they will fly out when it goes off.

There should be a small indentation on the end of the cone that requires punching out with a pen knife or tip of a steak knife. Even a toothpick will often work. Then slip shock cord through the hole that has been punched out at the end of the cone. You should be finished. The parachute needs to be attached to the cone as well through the punched out indentation. Keep in mind, the purpose is to be able to pack the parachute and shock cord in the rocket's fuselage. Using fireproof wadding to keep the parachute from melting you need to pack it all in the rocket. The shock irs keeps you from losing the cone.

As far as I know.....it is just CO2 which takes the oxygen out of the air. Should be ok until opened.

I haven't actually used it yet on a dive but it appears that it will stand if you have some tension on a line attached to it. It has a plastic clip on the bottom end so you can attache a string. If you are on the surface you'll need to hold it, there isn't any weight on the end. It is however a sealed tube and won't deflate if laid over.

I'm not for certain what the balloon is made out of but after its aired up it looks like a giant plastic bubble. I took mine to Party Galaxy to have it aired up along with other balloons I purchased. It was an awesome balloon! It stayed aired up for weeks after the party. I finally go tired of it floating around the house so I ended up deflating it myself. My one year old didn't mind. She didn't even notice. hehe
