Construction

This is a fast build with good quality parts.

T' only thin' missin' is an engine retention method.  They recommend friction fit.   I am nay a fan o' that so I bought t' Estes 29mm retention kit for around 19 dollars. Avast! It worked very well.

Finishing

I spray painted t' rocket black and t' fins gold.   It was those colors on t' website so I followed suit.


Construction Score: 4

Flight

Flies very well (even flies on a D12 engine)

Very versatile - flies from a D12 t' an F40

Recovery

I used t' nylon parachute that was provided.  I think it be a 14" one.  It also came with a non-flammable waddin' sheet so you don't have t' use that paper stuff.

Flight Rating: 5

Summary

Overall high quality kit with many engines options.

I would give it a 2 in skill level t' build it (very easy).

Overall Rating: 4
