Great rocket for experienced launchers

Great rocket when both stages fire. Been flying for almost 50 years. I use an extra top charge of #4 black powder to both ignite the 2nd stage and push out the first stage. Works every time.

Excellent looking and fun to create

I haven't had a chance to fire it off yet but making it was fun fun fun. I commend Estes on the design and creativity in this two-stage rocket; a real improvement over the old 3-stagers of 60 years ago, for sure!
