 Brief:
This is a RTF model that resembles a Patriot missile with clear fins. It flies on 18mm motors and includes a
twist-lock motor retainer.
Construction:
None, it's RTF. My son found this rocket so I didn't even have to attach the chute. I'll rate it a '5' even though
Estes did the work.
Finishing:
None needed, but it looks great.
Construction Rating:
5
out of 5
Flight:
I had no instructions but there is nothing to think about. Add wadding, pack chute, insert motor, twist on the
retainer. It flew nicely on a C6-5.
Recovery:
I noticed that, when I got it (it was used), one of the clear fins had a cloudy line in it. After this flight, it was
more pronounced. I assume it is due to stress at landing. There is nothing on the surface so it wasn't exhaust residue.
Flight Rating:
4
out of 5
 Summary:
I never would have bought this RTF, but it looks nice and flies well.
