Flight:
First flight was a long time coming. Went though about 5 igniters before giving up and using Estes igniters. Also there was a problem with parts separating that shouldn't have, so you better have some CA with you as you will probably need it. Good flights other than that. Most went about 100 feet up with ejection right at apogee and recovered after landing in street. No other damage other than that of the ejection charge blowing out nose cone.
Second flight was the flying saucer. It went about 20 feet up and about 15 feet to the side. Cute flight.
Third flight was the Critical Mass rocket which went a good 110 feet up and ejected at apogee but the nose cone blew out again.
Flight Rating: 2 out of 5
Summary:
PROs: Cute rockets that can be flown most anywhere.
CONs: poor construction.
If you can get this one half off the normal price it is OK, but would not recommend that anyone pay full price though.
