Another great little kit. My daughter (9 at t' time) and I built this together. We built it over a couple days, then painted it over another couple days. Aye aye! Blimey! On t' maiden launch it ended up sky-writin' pretty bad. This was very early on in me model rockettery hobbying. Aye aye! Blimey! Before I fully understood t' importance o' CG and CP. Even though I was warned by experienced rocketteers I opted t' go forward with t' launch t' experience for myself. Begad! Blimey! It did just what they said, but be a great no cost (other than t' cost o' one C6-5 motor) learnin' moment. I have since used Open Rocket t' determine CP, CG and stability on me rockets.
