 Brief
Basic equipment. Doesn't include launch pad, ignitor, or engines. Does include decals, 12-inch parachute, and three fins. Easy and fun to make (takes about 20 minutes).
Components
The fins and nose cone are plastic. Fins easily snap on. Body tube is re-inforced cardboard. Shock cord is rubber. 16 inches tall, 1.33 diameter, 1.8 ounces.
Construction
Very easy to install. After fins and decals are installed, there is just pre-flight prep before launching. Only bad part is that you don't get much freedom about how you want the rocket to look.
Finishing
Decals are nice, but still, not much freedom.
Construction Score: 3
Flight
Flew great two times. Drifts way too much from wind because it is too light.
Recovery
Parachute is affected by wind too much.
