Construction

This is a fast build with good quality parts.

The only thing missing is an engine retention method.  They recommend friction fit.   I am not a fan of that so I bought the Estes 29mm retention kit for around 19 dollars. It worked very well.

Finishing

I spray painted the rocket black and the fins gold.   It was those colors on the website so I followed suit.

Construction Score: 4

Flight

Flies very well (even flies on a D12 engine)

Very versatile - flies from a D12 to an F40

Recovery

I used the nylon parachute that was provided.  I think it was a 14" one.  It also came with a non-flammable wadding sheet so you don't have to use that paper stuff.

Flight Rating: 5

Summary

Overall high quality kit with many engines options.

I would give it a 2 in skill level to build it (very easy).

Overall Rating: 4
