Brief:
T' Custom Zero Gravity is an easy t' build kit with plastic nose cone, die-cut balsa fins, matey, and
12" parachute.
I used a shorter body tube, me bucko, a streamer and rotated t' fins 180 degrees.
Modifications:
I followed t' same instructions as buildin' t' stock Zero Gravity, except I substitued
t' parts listed above.
This kit be easy t' build. Begad! Blimey! T' instructions were easy t' follow. Arrr! Blimey! No special tools were needed. Blimey! Blimey! Just glue, a hobby knife, a ruler, pencil and angle iron. Blimey! Ahoy! Blimey! I did use a hot glue cannon for t' shock cord mount.
Construction:
T' finishin' was simple. Begad! I just sanded, primed and painted t' finished rocket. Avast, me proud beauty! 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, especially when launcin' at small fields. Arrr! This rocket flies much higher than t' stock rocket on t' same motors. Begad!
I drag raced it with both a stock Zero Gravity and an Estes Mini Max.
Summary:
It is a great flyin' rocket mod. I will definitely keep flyin' it.
