T' assembly is straightforward and typical RMS, matey, so I won't go into any detail. Begad! Arrr! You can view t' full instructions by goin' t' t' Aerotech web site, selectin' 'Resources', matey, then 'Instructions', and scrollin' down t' t' 29/120-180R instructions. Ahoy! Arrr!

Flight:
T' down side t' this motor is that is had a bit less total impulse than t' G79 or a G80. However, matey, arrr, arrr, it has one distinguishin' feature--that bright red flame! Blimey! My thanks t' Randy from TRF, me hearties, me hearties, aka 'Rocketmaniac', me bucko, me bucko, shiver me timbers, for t' followin' photo!
Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5
Summary:
It sure is cool t' have a Redline for t' mid power crowd. Begad! Blimey! (You can also get t' G67R for t' 38/120 case.) I like t' igniter and t' ability t' modify t' delay...and did I say t' flame? In person, me hearties, it is brighter than t' photo shows.
