Rocket n’ Roll

Launching space rockets into the air is one of the most fun things young people and adults do in their spare time. Rockets allow you to experience the power of high-speed aerodynamics in real time and it’s thrilling to watch them soar through the air. Some rocket enthusiasts are attaching mini cameras to their rockets, which records a birds-eye view of the entire flight.

Wink’s hobby shop in Ithaca has a supply of top-rate sophisticated rockets that offer various levels of high-flying action. We’re happy to chat with you more about these flying gems and are able to recommend ones that suit your personal preferences the best.
