    eHobbies Launches Resources for Teachers

    At eHobbies we make learning fun. Now, to help educators integrate our great product line into their classroom, we have launched a new area on our blog dedicated to teachers.

In our last launch we used engines with too much power (C engines). Our Cubs kept losing their rockets and they went too high. Would a smaller engine be better, perhaps an A or B engine?

 

Yes, C engines are too powerful for Cubs, and we recommend 1/2A, A, and maybe B engines for beginner flights. With these engines, rockets will fly high, but not too high, and the scouts get their prized possession back.
