One of my favorite rockets
I understand this rocket was retired, and is now being brought back. My review is about the older version. It was one of the most memorable rockets I ever flew. I had never flown a multistage rocket before, so I had no idea what to expect. This thing flew so high, it was unreal. In a spot of bad luck, just as I fired the rocket off, a cessna came flying in from the east. As soon as the rocket took off, he pulled back the throttle. We were out in the desert, so he was probably 1000 feet above ground. Needless to say, this rocket went way past the plane. It was a sight to see, and exhilarating/terrifying. I lost the first 2 stages instantly, and it never flew as a multi stage rocket again. But it was fun and totally worth it. A word to the wise though. Make sure your sky is truly clear before flying this. Its not like a typical rocket.
