It was easy to build, looks and Flys great

Easy build 24mm rocket

Super easy build and pre finished rocket that nearly sails out of sight on an E12 engine. I would prefer a fabric parachute as they are more reliable and not prone to sticking. I replaced the plastic chute with a 24 inch fabric.

Not bad!

Quick rocket to build, my honest only complaint, is the little stickers for the fins. I have large hands and they were tough to make look straight. Not a bad rocket can’t wait to launch it!
