This is not the type of rocket that could be built by your average hobbyist.

Admittedly, this is not a amateur-level rocket. However, the high-powered stuff is getting much more common. Go to http//www.aerotech-rocketry.com and look at the images there.

You'll even see a white rocket with triangular fins being prepped for flight - with a Texas flag nearby. These are not little Estes toys, but it's simply a larger scale - everything else works the same. If you can build a three-foot tall rocket that flies, you can build a ten-foot rocket.
