Lots of Choices
Nice looking rock no matter which wing style you pick. Fast off the pad & supper high flying with the bigger mooter.

High Flying
I love high altitude rockets, and watch this rocket leap off the pad on a C6-5 and out of site was truly a lot of fun for me.

Fun little rocket
This is a fun little rocket to build, if you been out of rockets for a while! Make sure you secure the engine shooting it off! I didn’t and it fell out during flight! great rocket!

Not bad
This was a quick build with the kids. The rocket was simple and straight forward to construct. The only thing I didn’t care for was the cardstock fins. I guess we will see how well they hold up. All said, it was a fun rocket to launch.
