Just completed my Astron Explorer was fun & challenging build. Instructions were excellent. Building jigs worked perfect, model aligned correctly. Paint & decals complete the rocket!!!
Launched rocket-flew height and straight, recovery system (channeling ejection gas out & back in) worked terrific.
To anyone who wants something different and great flying rocket to a look at Astron Explorer!
