Manufacturer: | Estes |
Brief:
A through C motor, close to RTF rocket with parachute recovery. Ready-to-fly
plastic Naboo Fighter requires no construction or painting! Must be flown with
flight probe.
Construction:
Assembly is very, very minimal and that it why it is a RTF. There was one joint
on the tubes and then a full plastic fin assembly with a built-in motor mount.
It went together in a snap. Even the 17" parachute was pre-assembled. No
painting, no decals, just fly it.
Construction Rating: 3 out of 5
Flight:
I would recommended a C6-3 for this model. It gives a straight flight even with
a strong wind (no weathercocking at all). The rocket does require wadding. The
motor is locked inside the fin assembly with a cap.
I now have more than ten flights on this rocket and am happy with its performance.
Recovery:
The recovery system is the shock cord that is glued to the side of the tube
(typical Estes). Perfect recovery.
Flight Rating: 5 out of 5
Summary:
Easy to put together and also flies with no problem. Also a fun first flier for
a newbee.
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5
