This rocket is a very nice rocket. It specializes in it's recovery system. It comes down with 2 red and yellow metallic streamers. It is a medium sized rocket that's a little below 15". Another great feature about it is the variety of engines it takes. This rocket runs on engines from 1/2A's to C's. Assembly is not very hard at all because of the slotted body tube. Painting is also easy with a can of purple spray paint. With this rocket, you will easily attract a small group of people in no time. That's why I like to start off my launching with the Fire Streak. I recommend this rocket to anyone.

External airframe is plastic. Fins: four pre-screen printed with art. Motor mount: intnerior small paper tube. Also houses the streamer and engine. Nose cone: also plastic. Snaps together like the rest ...

There are two body tube halves, one motor tube, four fins, nose cone, shock cord, motor retainer and streamer. I purchased this rocket one Saturday morning to cure boredom. I was looking for a small, ...
