Daniel S. ★★★★★

The balsa fins went together way easier than I expected, and the big body tube makes it feel sturdy for a first build. Took it out on a calm Saturday and the launch was textbook straight with a nice recovery.

Sophia ★★★★★

I was nervous about my first balsa wood build, but the fins fit snugly into the pre-cut slots without any fuss. The rocket launched straight and true on a C6-3 motor, and the parachute deployed perfectly every time. Definitely a satisfying upgrade from the beginner kits.

Lucy G. ★★★★★

The large diameter body tube made assembly feel solid and forgiving for a Skill Level 1 kit. My first flight went straight and stable, and the parachute recovery was flawless even in a light breeze.
