Hi.
I'd like to know if there is a model rocket kit, large enought to send an adult-sized individual, up a couple thousand feet, with reliable parachute system?
Would the rocket engines required cause too much of a scene?
Thanks, Jim

The motor mount is obvious and uses sphinctre retention. Stuff the parachute in your mouth - the ejection charge should be sufficiently large to ensure proper deployment. The beauty of this entire system is that in the event of a failure of the deployment system, the flyer (that's you) is right there to engage the backup system! (Spit the parachute out if your conscious).
BTW, remember to wear a helmet this time to avoid further brain injury.

Jim, we are in a major battle to save this hobby from being banned. We could have a "good" news story in our behalf every night for the next 10 years... But your news story would be the only thing anyone would remember.
Ya know what I'm saying?
