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!

I have this rocket and it is cool. It is fairly easy to build. It goes great with the wizzard rocket.

Awesome looking little rocket that allows you to use one of many fin configurations. Painted mine primer grey.
Mike –
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.
