Superb Rocket Kit ... Straightforward to Construct ... January three, 2011
By Steffan Piper VINE™ VOICE
Durability: Educational: Entertaining:
This is a amazing Rocket kit for each entry level users and the a lot more advanced. Anytime you have to take time to develop your own rockets, there's a considerably higher sense of satisfaction seeing them lift off and hit apogee and watching the chute deploy.I bought two sets of this particular model since it comes with an ignition controller, a platform, a extended three rod guide which extends over 3 feet (giving you a straighter launch) and a flat blast base for the rocket to sit on. You can use these platforms for just about any model rocket and they are a need to have.The base and platform very easily assemble and disassemble which can be stored into a tool-box for safe travel and also a wise storage notion which keeps small hands away from the engines and other stuff.I use the C6-7 and C6-5 engines with the Farside rocket and the A10-3T engines for the Sky Dart. Hobby shops normally have a assortment of these but it really is wise to get them here.These rockets are straight forward to build but do demand some time. I shoot these off with my 3 year old all the time and get a number of launches with every rocket, but I did create the rockets when he was sleeping as it's cautious and precise perform. I spent close to a devoted hour on every single a single. It is not like making the Blackbird or the Saturn V that Estes sell, but you have to take your time and put these together nicely.The subsequent step if you continue working with these more than a lengthy period of time, is to create our own 12" parachute. The thin plastic ones they supply are the only part of this package which sometimes need to have replacing. If you do not use enough wadding, the heat from the engine can melt the chute causing a failure to totally deploy.These rockets are a lot of enjoyable and they never shed their appeal when you're out there firing them off....

Superb rocket kit! September 8, 2009
By Sean K. Lariviere
Durability: Educational: Entertaining:
My 5yr old was offered this rocket kit for his birthday. We went out and bought 7 engines (4 for the tiny rocket and three for the sizeable) and he had a blast lighting them off, recovering, and refiring them! The rockets were very simple and easy to assemble, although I put them together due to the use of Super-Glue and not wanting to have them both

Excellent set, but you nonetheless will need some supplies for lift-off. December 9, 2011
By Monte Bishop

This is a good set of two rockets, plus launch system. Be conscious, the smaller of the two rockets is definitely small. I was shocked by that a bit. Second, you will will need something named plastic cement (not the exact same thing as epoxy, super glue, rubber cement, or any other type of glue), and you will need rocket engines. There are a variety of engines that 1 can use with either rocket depending on what flight height you are searching for. May well want to research those and get the engines and plastic cement along with rockets so you have every little thing you will need on delivery day. BTW, plastic cement fuses plastic components together it doesn't bond them like glue does. It comes in a compact
