Easy t' build kit - especially with t' online tutorials that I managed t' save as I be unable t' find them more recently.  Painted t' rocket white with a red nosecone.  So far it works great!

Kit came with everythin' includin' chute and 24/29 motor adapter.  No Cons.  Great First starter set into Mid power.

Finishing

Easy t' just paint.

Construction Score: 4

Flies great on suggested motors.

Recovery

It always seems t' take about 1 second for t' chute t' deploy after ejection.

Flight Rating: 5

Summary
