I was extremely disappointed in these rockets! Here are a few reasons:
1. The body tube is very difficult to connect with the red plastic case
2. The are not "snap together" as advertised. They will fall off unless you use plastic cement
3. The body tube size is a joke(0.54 inches)! The wadding, shock cord, and streamer are very hard to get in it.
4. The nose cone sometimes busts apart when the ejection charge goes off.
5. The whole rocket is very finicky. I have been into Estes rockets for a while now, and I have always been impressed by how straight forward, high quality, and reliable they are. This one is the only one I have had major problems with.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! If you are going to get a bulk pack, get something else!!!
Lets do better Estes!!
