The finish is what sets the Estes "Rock-it" apart from the rest of their kits. When finished properly, this one looks as if it was made of stone. But don't let that fool you. This is one great flyer and it always gets a bunch of remarks at launches due to its goofiness. A must have for any serious rocketeer.

Maiden flight. Rocket was smooth and fast as it left the pad weather cocking slightly into the wind. Altitude looked close to predicted and parachute was after apogee but no zippering and brought rocket back down within the range with no damage.
