Review Summary

The reviews highlight a strong appreciation for the design and performance of this rocket, noting its appealing styling with large fins, high achievable altitudes, and suitability as an upscale from smaller models. Many found it an easy and enjoyable build, often involving family or group activities, though some caution about potential assembly errors with the fins and a tendency to weathercock in windy conditions. Additionally, there are suggestions for modifications to enhance power and stability, as well as recommendations for specific components like shock cords to prevent damage during flight.

Good rocket to add to the collection

By: Bubba02STi (Colorado Springs, Co)

This a great rocket and great upscale... however it easily weathercocks with the slightest wind... also i recommend the kevlar and elastic shock cord for the rocket... if it does weather cock it could end up zippering... on calm days though this bird will eat up e9's all day...

nice rocket but a one building note

By: wbraunsdorf

I like the styling of this kit. the huge fins make it look really nice but be careful the triangle fins would be really easy to put on the wrong way. I did not do it, but a person with less experience might make them pop fins make sure you check the grain before gluing them on
