    Simple rocket, very easy build. I use this rocket like serveral others like this as a first flight of the day rocket. This lets me know the upper level air currents and then adjust the high valued rockets flights to a better flight adjustment if needed.
    Great rocket. performs very well.

    Standard design. Easy build. Fun color.

    This is a standard easy to build design. Only takes a few minutes to put together if you've built anything similar before. Maybe an hour if this is your first. Good for kids. Nice bright color. I got this for my wife, who likes flamingos. I took a star off for the prominent spirals and standard design (nothing particularly innovative), but we're happy with it, although it has yet to fly.
