This product is really good and very simple to do, however make sure you launch, and more importantly, land onto grass. Our first attempt was off concrete and was great until it landed back onto the concrete. Although there were no obvious breaks, the landing damaged the rocket and now the mixture leaks out of the bottom and it doesn't work anymore. As with the other review, we have purchased another as it is definately worth another go!
Our first attempts were not too successful, because we used baking powder instead of bicarbonate of soda. This achieved several launches of 30 to 40 feet.
After we acquired the bicarbonate of soda, we achieved a better launch rate and finally achieved a height well in excess of 80 feet the landing however was onto tarmac which resulted in the total destruction of the rocket body. hence our search leading us to this site.
