Great little rocket to add to add to my collection. An easy build and a great little flyer. I love the older nostalgia rockets that I had as a boy and that I can have fun putting together and had my grandson retrieve. I'm waiting to see the old rockets from the 60's and early 70's come back out so I can build my collection back up again. Wishing you all high launches and soft recoveries!

A nice looking model that's fairly easy to put together.

A nice looking model that's fairly easy to put together. The details on the plastic nosecone are a nice touch. Beveling the fins is the most time-consuming part. Is is underpowered? That depends what you want to see. A C will get it up past 600' and that's fine for me.
