Brief:
A ready t' fly kit with a basic rocket that looks cool! A great rocket for beginners.
Construction:
T' kit is a starter set and comes with a Code Red rocket (already assembled except for t' parachute) and a launcher & ignitor controller.
Pros: No construction, me hearties, matey, except for attachin' t' parachute!
Cons: nose fits on loosely, me hearties, me bucko, had t' use tape t' make tighter.
Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5
Flight:
I went t' t' field, loaded up t' rocket, put in about 2 sheets o' wadding, me bucko, put in an A8-3 motor, me bucko, shiver me timbers, and It flew about 84 feet up in t' air! Blimey! Like I said, ya bilge rat, its a beginners rocket.
Altitudes:
- A8-3 - 84 feet
- B4-4 - 230 feet
- B6-4 - 254 feet
- C6-5 - 600 feet!
Recovery:
Descent is perfect, arrr, shiver me timbers, and it doesn't drift much. Well, blow me down! Avast, ya bilge rat, me proud beauty! If you use higher powered motors, I'd use a streamer.
Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5
Summary:
I like t' rocket, and it has a cool red reflective finish. I highly recommend this rocket t' a beginner who wants t' have some fun and nay worry about losin' t' rocket.
Overall Rating: 5 out o' 5

Simply tie the parachute and nose cone, to the pre-attached rubber cord. ...

Brief: Let me start by saying, DON'T TRUST THIS ROCKET!! But a good starter, don't use a C6-5 though.

Works good on B6-4. This is an extremly quick build because CODE RED only needs the ...

Also molded onto the motor mount are four plastic fins. This was a ready to fly rocket so no construction was required except attaching the parachute which was pretty simple. Many have said the nose ...
