Brief
A very nice, sturdy, solid, and pretty looking rocket. This kit is based off of the Centuri Centurion. Its skill level is 1, but it was a challenging build for me regardless. It was the first one that I had to sand, cut, and do specific detailing like fillets and proper fin alignment. This kit was made for performance since the components featured in it are a lot more sturdy and solid than the standard Estes rocket kit. This kit also features through-the-wall fin construction.
Components
It's components are as follows;
- Two very sturdy and solid body tubes, with very thick walls
- A classic nose cone
- Thick balsa wood fins.
- A very thick and very long rubber shock chord, longer than the rocket itself.
- An 18" plastic red transparent parachute with very sturdy shroud lines
- Water slide decals
- Standard engine mount
- Thick and sturdy thrust rings
- Standard launch lugs.
