This rocket is about one metre tall.I also have a 1.8-metre-tall rocket!
My name is Paul.What's my hobby? It's model rockets! I have ten rockets.I built one of them myself.It's made of wood and cardboard.I glued it together, and then I painted it.What do I do with my rockets? I launch them! I began to launch rockets two years ago.
Last year, I joined a rocket club in my city.It has about forty members.Some of the members are young like me, but most of the members are adults.We meet every month.Sometimes, we have competitions.Everyone launches their rockets.The highest rocket wins.We also give prizes for the bestbuilt rockets.
I launch most of my rockets seven to ten times.Then I lose or break them.I lost one of my rockets two weeks ago.It went too high:499 metres.I launched it in a field, but it landed in some trees.My dad and I looked for it for three days.I hate to lose a rocket! I keep my broken rockets.I have a collection of them in my bedroom.
I like my hobby because it's exciting and challenging.It is a lot of fun to build and launch rockets.
Many people like to build models.Model trains are fun to build and play with!
