This was built from a kit I bought back in the brief period in 2013 when Shrox was selling kits. I put it together in fall 2014 and finally in July 2015 got it painted and decaled. I decided a flat finish would be appropriate so hit it with Dullcote; that and a removable Kevlar leader for the shock cord were the only deviations from the instructions. Maybe I should have redshifted the motor mount to 24 mm but I went with the stock 18 mm.

Next morning after checking out of the hotel Kenny and I returned to the field, where I flew one more rocket: the Shrockets Sea Sting, on an Aerotech 18 mm D10-5 single use motor. I liked that flight, though the chute shrouds tangled somewhat with the shock cord, and landing was hard enough to knock off a fin piece which I found nearby. It’ll be an easy repair.
