LOVED the thickness of the tubes and heavy nose cone
My first build using epoxy. LOVED the thickness of the tubes and heavy nose cone. Made a modification to be able to add a motor retainer. Also added a thrust ring to cap the motor length at 140mm. Used a spacer with an Estes F15-6 motor; I loved hearing this thing rip through the sky for 3.5 seconds of burn time and coasting for another 6 seconds to about 1,200 feet. My first **REAL** LOC kit after the 1" Hi-Tech and Estes kits. I'd like to give this thing 4*s due to the very limited instructions, but it flew so well that I won't deduct a star.
I would not recommend this as one's very first rocket kit due to the limited instructions though.
