Alpha III® Launch Set

I ordered two of these kits for a school science project, and the instructions for the model rockets were pretty straightforward, but there were times when captions would have been appreciated. However, when I began building the launch pad, the instructions were a little confusing as I did not know what they meant when they were referring to the stand-off stem. When I compared the pieces I had to the picture available online for these sets, I had everything, but according to the instructions, I needed this stand-off stem, and I didn’t have it (both boxes did not include one). Therefore, I could not launch, which greatly impacted my project and my planning. Next time, I would appreciate being sent all of the pieces required to build and launch.

Rocket was easy enough to put together but challenging enough for a 12 Year old to feel like he was actually contracting a rocket. They are not lying about the launch heights. This thing hit the clouds and then some.

It is an awesome rocket overall! Very powerful and fast. I wish the engines had more than 1 use because I ran out pretty fast.
