Cool kit - almost perfect

My first BBXII was destroyed because the parachute/shock cord attach point on the Black Brant (the whole BB is basically a giant nose cone) broke off! Make that stronger and provide two parachutes. Recover the parts separately. Then you have a heckuva kit!

Needs upgrades

Honestly, I love for the rocket and kit. Had to spend $15.00 extra to buy an ungrade kit online, which contained upgraded fins and centering rings. Other than that, I enjoyed all the sanding work that was required and the joy of the build. The upgrades were necessary because I plan on flying it on G80's. All of these 29mm rockets should come with hardware to allow for safe G80 flights, which is why I gave the 3 Star.
