Hi Flier XL

Thank you so much for the Hi Flier XL rocket. I am presently building the rocket and planning to fly it on September 21, 2024 at out monthly meeting. I love the fin design and size. I am reinforcing the strength of the fins. Looking forward to launching it.

A Sleek Rocket

This sleek looking rocket has always flown perfectly for me! I have scratch built a two-stage rocket by crafting four smaller Hi-Flier XL fins and using them on an upper stage, and then building a booster stage with four sufficiently large fins for stable flight.

Get two and build a xxl

Puttwo kits together and going to test fly it tomorrow. It is a great looking rocket. I have a XL stock kit. It flies well. I am looking forward to flying my XXL and see how it does.
