Brief:
Single stage, LPR, Streamer recovery, high fling all around fun rocket.
Construction:
Parts:
The instructions are easy to follow, basic illustrations, good order, template for fin positioning, which is helpful no issues with sturdiness. The engine mount is very loose and needs to be thickened using masking tape. no special tools except sand paper and sanding sealer.
Finishing:
Easy to paint. Make sure to use sanding sealer to smooth the balsa pressure sensitive decals, easy to place but need to be cut out with a hobby knife. Looks great, but I added a gloss clear coat and waterproofing clear coat for rainy days.
Construction Rating: 5 out of 5
Flight:
All around great flights on C6-7. Out of sight performance, straight as an arrow. normal prep, 4 sheets of wadding, hook engine retention, but the motor fell out every time. High flying, but it was hard to follow, so I used binoculars.
Recovery:
Replaced shock cord because of burning with Kevlar®. It fell straight down on streamer within 200 yards of the launch area
Flight Rating: 4 out of 5
Summary:
My favorite part is the rocket screaming off the pad at up too 350 feet/second
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5
Other:
Have a spotter to watch the rocket so you find it with ease.
