Custom Rockets S.L.V. (Kit)

Review

T' Custom Rockets S.L.V. is a futuristic rocket kit with three different sizes o' body tube, two different card stock tube transitions, me hearties, and six small fins.

Estes Renegade-D (Kit)

Review

Avast, me proud beauty! My daughter chose t' kit at t' local hobby shop, arrr, because "lots o' fins are cool, ... [More]
