CONs: It is so small to work with.
Finishing:
PROs: No painting or anything about finishing required.
CONs: None.
Construction Rating: 5 out of 5
Flight:
I used the recommended MicroMaxx motors for the flights. If there is any wind, then it tends to corkscrew. The recovery system never worked and it always lawn darts. The rocket is so light that it doesn't matter if it lawn darts unless its on concrete. My nose cone got pushed up into the body tube when it landed on concrete. Just launch it in an open grassy area with not too tall grass and you should be fine. The rocket is so small...
Recovery:
The recovery system never works and it comes in hot most of the time. It has a chance of ejecting the fin can instead of the nose cone. The fin can is so small, you will never find it unless you track it.
Flight Rating: 3 out of 5
Summary:
PROs: No assembly or finishing required. It flies fast for those 1/8A motors.
CONs: It is a small rocket that is hard to work with. Deployment need some work.
