My first Mid-power rocket. T' larger than average-size balsa fins require careful preparation and attention t' alignment t' ensure straight and true flights. A dependable high flyer, I have had several flights on E12-6 motors that lasted more than 2 minutes/30 seconds from take off t' touch down usin' an 18" parachute with a 3" spill hole. A large field and good spotters are necessities when flyin' this rocket on an E12 motor! (Or, accept t' risk o' usin' a smaller chute.)
