Very enjoyable kit

By: Chris B. (Lexington, KY)

The Barracuda kit is a pleasure to assemble. It went together easily, and is very sturdy. The only difficulty I had was getting the fins to properly snap into the fin lock centering rings. Putting an engine into the motor mount made this much easier. I highly recommend this kit if you want a nice mid power rocket that is easy to assemble and fun to fly.

Great performance

By: edyoung899

I was a bit worried about putting a G80 in this rocket. Flew it many times on E and F(the F32-8TSU 24mm works awesome on this kit) finally put a G80 in there and WHAT A FLIGHT!! Its amazing how high you can see on a clear day .3,oooft up it went. Took forever to return but very cool flight. Keep your eyes on this one with Gpower.
