Brief:
Light weight is perfect for high-altitude flights and dependable streamer
recovery returns your rocket for one exciting flight after another!
Construction:
The kit contains:
The instructions where easy to follow allowing me to build it in a half a day. I really like the die-cut fins and the sturdiness.
Finishing:
I really like the Kevlar® shock cord system!
Construction Rating: 5 out of 5
Flight:
I flew it the next day for 3 flights and they all worked flawlessly with a C6-5
motor (even though it recommended a A6-4). It did require 2 or 3 sheets of
wadding and the motor slipped right it with the motor mount clip. And it flew
straight for all 3 flights!
Recovery:
Shockcord technique with the Kevlar® was flawless and recovery was just about
right; no burning and it came back again. The only bad thing was that I had to
pack the streamer to fly it again and I ran out of motors!
Flight Rating: 5 out of 5
Summary:
This is perfect for the beginning modeler. For about $10 you can buy this kit
and 3 motors which makes it for your budget minded rocketeers. And I'm going to
fly this one till it breaks or I lose it whichever comes first. Then I'm going
to buy another one!
