Great little rocket and easy to build. Perfect to introduce someone into the hobby. The downside is the gnome is not that durable. After about 6 flights the shock cord unattached and after 12 flight the body tube ripped at the top where the top launch lug is. Also great for small launch areas but stay away from the full A impulse engines if the wind exceeds 10MPH unless you are in a large area. 1/4A impulse engines are ideal if you have a small launch area.
