fun and easy to build…

Ok, but

Why would you buy something that is supposed to be "is perfect for the first-time rocketeer. " but requires "Requires engines, starters, recovering wadding and launch systems (not included)."???

Not exactly all inclusive for the first timer.

Great To Fly, Assembly is Difficult

First off, this rocket is GREAT, don't get me wrong, but it is a little tricky to build. Make sure you read the instructions carefully and use logic, don't just jam pieces in where you think they go. I did this and had to do several additional repairs.

Just right

Having flown rockets in the 1960's, this simple to build model is just right for a grandfather and grandson. Thanks Hobby Lobby!

Pretty good

The price is cheap, but the rocket is really good. It’s a’no glue’ rocket, but I glue down the shock cord so it doesn’t come loose. Flew it On a A8-3, then a B6-4.both came down safely. I HIGHLY recommend cutting a hole in the parachute.
