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, arrr, a streamer and rotated t' fins 180 degrees.
Modifications:
I followed t' same instructions as buildin' t' stock Zero Gravity, arrr, except I substitued
t' parts listed above.

This kit be easy t' build. Blimey! T' instructions were easy t' follow. Well, blow me down! Arrr! No special tools were needed. Aye aye! Just glue, ya bilge rat, shiver me timbers, ya bilge rat, a hobby knife, arrr, a ruler, arrr, pencil and angle iron. I did use a hot glue cannon for t' shock cord mount.
Construction:


T' finishin' be simple. Aye aye! Begad! I just sanded, matey, primed and painted t' finished rocket. Avast, me hearties, me proud beauty! I painted it t' suggested stock blue color, shiver me timbers, 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. 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. Ahoy! Blimey! I will definitely keep flyin' it.
