I just completed construction and finishing for the kit. It's a simple build as long as you take your time. I found that some challenges with painting the kit in the suggested colors and patterns illustrated on the box cover and instructions because the actual main wing construction and size does not comport to the graphic art on the box and instructions. The decal sheet could have been better quality as the decal film is too delicate. I would have also like to have had more decals as well. On add to make a second decal sheet with the graphic pattern on the top main wing would be really handy. The suggested "dark forest" paint color is problematic at best (what does that mean Estes?) but I found a green color that was dark. I also check the center of mass for this rocket - and I think other hobbyist may want to as well to ensure it will have a stable flight. Lastly - a message to Estes - consider making this a larger "PRO" kit and put some quality upgrades in the engine block and decals.

It’s a great looking rocket. Fun to build and rewarding to finish. Hope to fly it soon.

This rocket flew good the first launch then after that the consistency and the flight quality went down. The parachute did not come out of the tube even with all the required equipment, wading and baby powder still didn't deploy. Went up then came down hard broke all three back fins. Do not buy, waste of money and time. But it was funny to watch it do some acrobatics in the air.
