"The Kappa 7 was a Japanese single-stage sounding rocket that was also intended as a booster for the Kappa 8 and Kappa 9 rockets."
"ASP's Kappa 7-1 has a diameter of 2.65" and stands 52.4" tall. It flies on F and G motors."
"The kit contains a white thick-walled body tube, a 29mm motor tube, three plywood centering rings, four laser-cut plywood fins, fiberglass cloth, a recovery system, and a vinyl decal. Also included are 8 pages of easy-to-follow, clearly illustrated instructions."
"Building the Kappa 7-1 is fairly easy and straightforward."
"I was impressed with the large, pointed balsa nose cone that came with the kit."
"A large screw eye is provided to glue into the bottom of the nose cone."
"A 30" parachute, supplied with the kit, is tied to the shock cord."
"The instructions provide a painting diagram for the Kappa 7-1."
"For the maiden flight of my Kappa 7-1, I used an EconoJet F23-4 motor. The rocket put in a flawless flight-straight boost, nominal recovery, and no damage upon landing."

Overall, the article indicates that this kit is a good transition from small model rockets to mid-power rockets. The kit introduces some techniques used for larger rockets.
