Rich @ Wheelspin Models
I live right next to wheelspin models and I wondered where I could launch these rockets near there
Spencer / 19th June 2024

We recommend a large grassed area usually large public parks are fine but do check with your local authorities.

Steve @ Wheelspin Models
Does this need gun powder or anything else to launch it?
Jody Brearley / 8th February 2017

You would need the rocket motors and wadding to complete this item, these items can be found in the combo pack that we list for this product.
