Model rocket building is one of those father-son activities that you never forget for your entire life. Even if you only ever got to help paint them, wire them up, and hit the fire button, and dad did the rest, it stays with you; twisting the safety lock, pressing the red button, watching the LED "LAUNCH" light glow, hearing that massive FWOOOSH, and watching it FLYYYY, FLY TO THE HEAVENS! Then trying to run and catch it where it comes down.
Best years of my life.
