Reviews : Estes Vapor

I can't say this one really connected with me as it hung on the pegs, but I bought one and built it just to have something new to fly at a weekend club launch on the big boy field. Despite not starting the project until Tuesday, and it was in primer by Thursday. I did the fill & finish and sanding that night, then hit it with a coat of yellow paint on Friday before we left for a wedding. I sprayed the black the morning of the launch and let it dry as I packed the car, then almost left it drying on the side porch before remembering it at the last second. I was rewarded with a great E12-6 flight and recovery. Great at the big field, and with an adapter, likely the smaller fields as well.

This massive rocket said it would go up to 800ft on a E engine. I launched this rocket my first time on a d12-3 engine. It blasted off the pad to at least 1300 ft I figured it would only go about 500 ft high with that small of an engine. But I was wrong something with this rocket is rated wrong so beware make sure you have a very large launch area mine floated so far that it landed in a cornfield where I could not find it and it got rained on and it was ruined. But it is a very great rocketmake sure you have a long enough delay.
