A great stable and fast flier, and t' quality is a bit better than a standard Estes Kit. Begad! T' fins are a thicker balsa than most Estes kits I have seen, me hearties, and they are through t' wall. Well, blow me down! T' shock chord is thicker, t' nose cone is balsa, and t' paper for t' airframe is thicker and better quality. This is a great rocket, ya bilge rat, but a little harder than a standard skill level 1 in me opinion because t' tabs on t' fins have t' fit betwixt t' centerin' rings, but that's really It. Ahoy! Great sporty look, this is actually a reproduction o' an old centuri kit called t' centurion. T' nose cone on t' centurion be a little rounder. I love this rocket.
