Greetz,



the title says it all. Im a total noob and want to launch a little rocket as a fun summer exploit...one that won't cut off any fingers preferably.



The estes motors are great because they make for great little lift-off's and are very cheap.



See this video, for example:

The only problem is that they dont ship o/side the U.S. and Im having trouble finding an alternative motor that is as cheap in price but has similar power to the b6-4 used in the video above.



Any ideas of what/where I can buy a similar alternative in Canada?



thx a lot,



falafel.

I'm not sure your question is clear. Sounds to me like your looking for Estes motors but they are widely available in Canada. Aerotech composite propellant motors are also becoming more available in Canada. What alternative are you looking for?

Maybe you could try, say, a hobby shop..?! Estes motors are widely available in Canada.

And why would a model rocket cut off your finger?
