I bought this rocket on amazon about a year ago, Put in a c6-5, launched it and out of sight, Im pretty sure mine is in low earth orbit somewhere, flying by the international space station, don’t use the c engine unless you want your rocket to end up just like mine

Well built!
Great little bird. Well built & durable. Like the solid fin assembly. B6-4 worked well. Out of sight with a C. Good flying!

First Rockets
I got this as one of my first rockets. It was so cool that now I am a serious rocketeer.

Excellent Sport and Demo Rocket
Last year I spotted several of the Athena in the Clearance section at a nearby Hobby Lobby. Bought one and flew it with an A8-3. Even with that engine, flew pretty high and had a nice, safe recovery. Plan to use it for demo and sport launches.
