Brief

A nice looking two-stage payload rocket.

Construction

I modified it by skipping the see-through plastic payload bay and just going with a standard tube payload bay of the same size.  Easy to build. 

Finishing

Construction Score: 4

Flight Rating:

Summary

Excellent, straight flights so far.  Haven't tried it as just a single stage yet though.
