Brief

Easy to build kit - especially with the online tutorials that I managed to save as I was unable to find them more recently.  Painted the rocket white with a red nosecone.  So far it works great!

Components

Made as per kit plans and included supplies.  Built with 5min epoxy to withstand higher impluse G flights.

Construction

Kit came with everything including chute and 24/29 motor adapter.  No Cons.  Great First starter set into Mid power.

Finishing

Easy to just paint.

Construction Score: 4

Flight

Flies great on suggested motors.

Recovery

It always seems to take about 1 second for the chute to deploy after ejection.

Flight Rating: 5

Summary

Overall a great kit.  Highly recommend.
