I've been getting back into model rocketry lately.  As a kid, I flew tons of rockets, and over the years I have occasionally launched some rockets, but only in the past month or so have I really begun to build up a "fleet" of rockets.  This is largely to do with my recent birthday, and rocketry seems to be a hobby that my whole family can at least be involved in.  My wife and daughter both like it a lot, but my son is a little worried about rockets blowing up.  Not without provocation, since I've lost a few of them, but I'm getting better at building and flying them, so it's less common than before.  Hopefully. :-)

I'm really quite happy with my current rocket fleet, and since I'm standardizing in 18mm motors for now, I think I have a more or less complete range of options to choose from.  There are a bewildering array of available designs, so I've tried to restrict myself to rockets that add some new capability to my fleet.

Here is a list of my current rockets, their role in my fleet, and their flight status, ordered by size.  All of them with the exception of the Gnome fly on 18mm engines.

1. The Quest Icarus (Big Payloader).  This inauspiciously named rocket  is the tallest rocket in my collection so far.  It has a nice big payload bay, and a design very similar to the Courier (see below).  Visually, it reminds me a lot of my favorite rocket from my childhood - the Estes Omega.  I have it completely assembled, primed, and about 1/2 painted.  Given the size of this rocket, I don't expect it to go extemely high, though it might surprise me.  Once cool thing is that the payload bay lands separately from the booster.  A couple of my rockets do this (Courier, MaxxTrax, Icarus), and it's fun.  The payload bay is a currently little snug in the booster tube, so I'll need to do some more sanding before it flies, lest the ejection charge fail to deploy the 'chute.
2. The Estes Skywriter (Novelty High Flier).  A flying #2 pencil about 3 feet long.  This one is ready to launch, but hasn't flown yet.  I'm considering spraying it with a sealer to keep the decals safe.  It promises to be a good flier, and ought to go pretty high.
3. Estes Mercury Redstone (Scale Model).  A semi-scale model of the famous space launch stack.  There are some nit-picky details that keep this from being a true scale model, and I'm not sure how well it would survive launch.  Currently, it's about 1/3 built and waiting for me to get over my fear of self-adhesive decals for further construction.  It should prove to be an interesting rocket, and very attractive, but it's last on my list of things to build right now, largely due to the fear factor and the fact that the kit is now out of print.  So if I mess it up, there's no replacement available.  Sigh.
4. The Quest Harpoon AGM (Scale Model).  This is a semi-scale "missle" rocket that is inspired by the military missile of the same name.  It has 12 fins and lots of decals, and will be fun to build, but it's currently sitting in a bag, waiting for its turn on the work bench.
5. The Quest Courier (Egg Lofter/Sport Rocket).  A medium power "Egg Lofter" that is currently flyable but still needs its final gloss paint and decals.  The nose cone on this one opens to hold an egg, and the challenge is to land the egg without breaking it.  I've already launched this one twice, and it flies nicely.  It does need a new set of parachutes though, because I tore one on a bad eject, and melted another because of insufficient wadding.  So it's not quite ready to fly again.  It will be a good "experiement" rocket, and I expect to scramble a few eggs with it.  Curiously, this rocket shares a booster stage with the Icarus, though the Icarus booster tube is just a little longer.
6. Estes MaxxTraxx (Sport Rocket with a Gimick).  A pre-built rocket with a fun little "altimeter" in the nose cone.  The altimeter is really a time from ejection charge timer, and it relies on a shock switch to detect landing, so it's not very reliable or accurate, but it's a lot of fun.  This rocket flies very well, seems very sturdy, and is tons of fun.  Jake gave it to my for my birthday, and we're both very pleased with it
7. Quest Gamma Ray (Small Payloader/High Flier).  This one is a clone of the old Estes X-Ray, from back when it was a balsa wood rocket.  I have it assembled and primed, and it's just waiting on the final color coat and decals.  This was Penelope's gift rocket, and I think it will fly very, very high! (As she would say.)  My old X-Ray was the booster for the infamous "Goldfish Launch" - I hot-glued the payload bay to make it water tight.  The rocket only got maybe 50 feet off the ground, and the ejection charge shredded the body tube.  Happily, the fish was fine.  I won't be trying that with my new one. :-)
8. Estes Viking (Very High Flight).  A small "sounding rocket" with an unusual fin arrangement and streamer recovery.  I have it built and primed, so it could fly right now, but I'll wait until I get the rest of the paint on it.  It's a super-high altitude rocket (well, super-high for 18mm motors) that can apparently fly higher than you can see it on a big enough engine.  I plan to use this one as my "first launch" rocket in a day, to get an idea what the wind is going to be like.  I'm not sure if I have the guts to fire it with a C engine, but maybe on a calm day, I'll try it just to see just how high that little fellow can go.
9. Estes Fat Boy (Slow Liftoff).  A short rocket with a very wide body, almost twice the diameter of my other rockets. He's all done but the painting and final recover system installation.  This one should fly very slowly and not go very high, which will look cool.  I'm a little afraid of this one because I haven't had great luck with my recovery wadding, and with so wide a tube, I bet he'll melt a few 'chutes before I get it right.
10. Quest Full Moon (High Flight, Slow Recovery).  An 8 inch rocket with a body the diameter of my larger rockets.  This little guy will get way up there, and can hold a large parachute, so will STAY up there for a while.  I'll only launch him on calm days, or he'll get away from me.  So far, I have his engine mount assembled and mounted in the body tube, so it's still early days for this one.
11. Estes Gnome (High flier).  A smaller rocket than my others, whch is the same length as my Viking, but uses the next smaller size motors.  The Gnome is a neat rocket, but this one has already melted through one shock cord, and needs repairs before it can fly again.  I've had this rocket for a while, and it doesn't really "fit in" with my current fleet, but it's so cute that I can't just throw it away.  Really, the Viking can do anything the Gnome can and more, since it's about the same size and weight but holds a much larger engine.

I've considered adding a few other 18mm rockets to my collection, most notably the "Wacky Wiggler", which has a body tube that detaches into a bunch of parts at ejection.  I've heard unflattering things about this rocket's aerodynamicity, but it could be fun anyway.  I also had an Estes Cosmic Cobra, which was supposed to recover like an autogyro/helicopter.  It exploded instead.  But I still have the fin/engine assembly and nose cone, so if I could find a suitable body tube, I could rebuild it.  I may choose to make it a parachute recovery this time.  The fin/motor mount is rather clever and sturdy, and I think I could build a rocket comparable to the MaxxTraxx out of it, only lighter.

Some day, I'm sure I'll want to step up to the D engine monsters again.  If they still sold the Estes Omega, I'd already have made that step, but it's been out of production for decades.  So I'm focusing on the smaller motors for this year, and doing my best to get my fleet skyworthy.
