Intro:
This is my first instructable. I am going to try and keep it short and simple. Hope you like it.
I have had a model rocket for many years but recently two of my friends showed me a model rocket that they had made (which was really good) but it made me think that it does not cost much ($5-$30) and i could probably make one to but slightly less good. And that is the reason this instructable was made.
Tools:
the tools are not expensive but buy a dremel (or some thing like it) will give a nicer finish
dremel
hack saw
PVC primer (get the pressure stuff because some part will be under stress)
PVC cement ("same as above")
permanent marker
ruler
Parts:
most if not all things in this rocket can be found lying around the house
X 30 Cm of 25 mm PVC pipe
X 15 Cm of 90 mm PVC pipe
X 12 Cm of 15 mm PVC pipe
X 1 20mm PVC cap
X 1 plastic soft drink bottle
X 5 or so rubber bands
X 1 plastic straw
X 1 C sized motor
X 1 plastic rubbish bag
X 50 cm worth of string
x 1 thing of wadding
Note:
This is only to make the rocket not the launch pad or ignition system.
Both can be bought or made dirt cheap!

Cut the 25mm pipe to a length of 30cm, and make X4 12 cm, this is where the fins and motor will fit.

it takes a 18mm C6-7, 18mm,
but it has a piece of cut 15mm, because that is the size that the pipe comes in and it also provides a good fit for the motor if you cut it right.
