Brief:
T' Custom Zero Gravity is an easy t' build kit with plastic nose cone, die-cut balsa fins, and
12" parachute.
I used a shorter body tube, a streamer and rotated t' fins 180 degrees.
Modifications:
I followed t' same instructions as buildin' t' stock Zero Gravity, me hearties, except I substitued
t' parts listed above.
This kit was easy t' build. Aye aye! T' instructions were easy t' follow. Ya scallywag! No special tools were needed. Just glue, me hearties, a hobby knife, matey, arrr, a ruler, pencil and angle iron. Avast, me proud beauty! Ya scallywag! I did use a hot glue cannon for t' shock cord mount.
Construction:
T' finishin' be simple. Blimey! Blimey! Ahoy! Blimey! I just sanded, shiver me timbers, shiver me timbers, primed and painted t' finished rocket. Ahoy! Blimey! Ahoy! Blimey! I painted it t' suggested stock blue color, but added some red fade in at t' top o' t' body tube and tips o' t' fins.
I applied some waterslide decals from an Estes Mini Max kit instead o' t' stock Zero Gravity vinyl wrap.
T' rocket was much smaller than t' stock rocket so I put a streamer.
Flight:
I flew t' rocket three times on A8-3 motors.
I would recommend this motor for this rocket, ya bilge rat, matey, matey, especially when launcin' at small fields. Avast, me proud beauty! This rocket flies much higher than t' stock rocket on t' same motors.
I drag raced it with both a stock Zero Gravity and an Estes Mini Max.
Summary:
It is a great flyin' rocket mod. Arrr! I will definitely keep flyin' it.
