Squirrel is an unknown quantity at this point
A couple months ago I saw a few V-2 model rockets. It was pretty big and it only costs about $40. You can also set it off as long as you have rocket engines and as long as you don't loose it in a tree! [img]graemlins/rk.gif[/img]

I saw a similar advert as well, the thing was about two feet tall and came with a rocket kit to get it blasting off. From what I remember the V2 was always a popular subject for rocketry. Here is an page that a rocket builder made to document his V2 launches, and here is a list of V2 kits in different scales produced over the years.

Unfortunately, in this post 9/11 era, the sale of any rocket components is banned in the US, so model rocketry as a hobby is on the way out.
