Estes Super Neon XL (Kit)

Review

Brief: The Super Neon XL from Estes is a modified tube-fin rocket with a beefy appearance and an E engine mount. As one of the taller Estes kits, it is certain to draw a crowd among the E2X flyers. Construction:The only exceptional thing about this kit is the high-quality balsa nose... [More]

Custom Rockets S.L.V. (Kit)

Review

Brief: The Custom Rockets S.L.V. is a futuristic rocket kit with three different sizes of body tube, two different card stock tube transitions, and six small fins. The manufacturer lists it as a Skill Level 3, and I feel that it is more of a 2, with a few tricky spots. Construction: 1... [More]

Estes Renegade-D

Flight

Beautiful flight, some corkscrewing - D12-5 - NOVAAR [More]

Estes Renegade-D

Flight

Another perfect boost, good ejection, and gentle recovery. This rocket is a nice flier. - D12-5 - NOVAAR [More]

Estes Super Neon XL

Flight

Overpowered ejection blew 3 of the 6 shroud lines, rocket came down quickly, but sustained no damage other than the parachute. It will fly again! - E20-7 - NOVAAR [More]

Estes Super Neon XL

Flight

On the D12, this rocket flew straight and true, and recovery was just as easy. Nice rocket to fly. - D12-5 - NOVAAR [More]

FlisKits Corona-2

Flight

FlisKits Corona

Flight

Nice boost to apogee, nosed over, popped the chute which opened almost immediately. Then I think it caught a thermal, since it started going back up. Eventually found it in the next field over, beyond the parking lot. - C6-5 - NOVAAR [More]

FlisKits Night Whisper

Flight

Nice flight, and for good measure, it landed gently on the awning over the LOC/RSO. - C6-5 - NOVAAR [More]

Estes Renegade-D (Kit)

Review

Brief: The latest incarnation of the Estes Renegade kit has changed the rocket from a 2-stage to a single-stage, probably because of the booster stage's tendency to semi-glide recover at a rather high rate of speed. My daughter chose the kit at the local hobby shop, because "lots of fins are... [More]
