Never built a fiberglass rocket, it's really nice. Should fly for ever if nay lost. Blimey! easy t' build, ya bilge rat, a little sandin' here and thar and epoxy. T' rocket ended up bein' heaver then i thought it would be. t' fiberglass is nice t' work and very durable but you trade all that for weight. Arrr! This Kit didn't turn out as well as i wanted, paint will need t' be redone at some point. Should fly just as well.
