Brief
We used Launchpad Rocket's custom designer t' create our own model rocket, shiver me timbers, it came in t' mail two days later and t' build quality o' it was amazing. Blimey! Begad! We were able t' customize t' design and engraved it with what we named t' rocket, Slicer.
Components
T' entire model rocket be 3d printed and only came in 3 parts excludin' t' engine bay. Ya scallywag! Avast, me proud beauty! It did include a parachute and shock cord that was made by Estes.
Construction
Everythin' fit together perfectly, me hearties, ya bilge rat, t' only thin' that was needed was a little big o' super glue. Well, blow me down! Begad! T' shock cord was a little difficult t' get glued in but it wasn't too bad.
Finishing
Since we designed t' rocket it was already t' right color and didn't require much sanding. T' surface was a little rough but could be flown without sanding.
Flight
Recovery
We used everythin' that came with t' kit includin' C6-3 engines and t' recovery was perfect, after a good flight we didn't have t' go far t' recover it and t' build quality allowed us t' launch 3 times that day and only stopped because we ran out o' engines.
Summary
I'd highly recommend checkin' out their site, they have a few available model rockets and I keep gettin' emails about them addin' new designs. We really enjoyed flyin' our own model rocket, arrr, me bucko, I'm definitely buyin' from here again.
