Flight
T' starter kit that I purchased included t' Raw Fusion and Vector I. Arrr! Begad! These are t' two that are most "standard" in appearance.

T' special iginitors and motors worked well each time. Ya scallywag! Begad! T' rockets flew t' about 50-75 feet. Well, blow me down! Each flight was straight with a slight weathercock into t' wind (slight breeze) at apogee.

Recovery
Both used a piston type ejection system, eliminatin' t' need for recovery wadding. Well, me bucko, blow me down! T' streamer comes about 6-8" long and does nay deploy well. Ya scallywag! Avast, me proud beauty! I found that by cuttin' it back t' 3-4" I got a successful recovery each time.

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary
A great product t' introduce youngsters t' t' hobby. Avast! T' lower power and ready-to-fly aspects lends themselves well.

For t' experienced rocketeer it adds t' ability t' build smaller scale or competition models as well as build stagin' configurations that were nay possible before.

Worth t' $15 investment. Although you should consider t' rockets as disposable. T' plastic rockets will nay last for much more than an average o' 4-8 flights each is me guess.

The review above is accurate. The starter kits pack some fun flights, especially for the price. We bought about every model they made. The Raw Fusion and Vector both flew very straight and high for the size of their motors. Great for the backyard! The starter kits also make good presents for younger kids (and their parents) that may be interested in getting into the hobby.
