Another great little kit. Ya scallywag! My daughter (9 at t' time) and I built this together. Avast, me proud beauty! We built it over a couple days, then painted it over another couple days. Ya scallywag! On t' maiden launch it ended up sky-writin' pretty bad. This was very early on in me model rockettery hobbying. Ahoy! 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. Arrr! It did just what they said, but was a great no cost (other than t' cost o' one C6-5 motor) learnin' moment. Avast, me proud beauty! I have since used Open Rocket t' determine CP, CG and stability on me rockets.

Good Launch - High winds (15-20 mph). Angled t' rod into t' wind a bit. It went up, streamer deployed a bit late, t' wind really took it. It landed about 300 ft from t' launchpad. Was easy t' track. Should have used a C6-3.
