Estes #2056 Patriot? I conducted workshops building these with the Girl
Scouts and some at Sally Ride Science Festivals. My opinion: this kit is
too difficult for 6 year olds. The balsa fins have to be glued on. An
easy to build rocket that has a plastic fin can would be better. Please
don't get my wrong, the Patriot is an excellent rocket kit, just better if
the kids are 12+ years old.
If you are set on this rocket, please let me know, I can offer you some
good tips for the build meeting.
