Brief:
Let me start by saying, DON'T TRUST THIS ROCKET!! But a good starter, ya bilge rat, don't use
a C6-5 though. Ahoy!
Construction:
T' rocket has one tube, no payload. 4 plastic molded one piece fins alredy
attached, this is a basic ESTES starter. Avast! Well, matey, blow me down! T' design is similar t' t' ESTES
TIDAL WAVE STARTER SET. Works good on B6-4. Avast! This is an extremly quick build
because CODE RED only needs t' attachment o' a 'chute. Ya scallywag! No tools needed.
Finishing:
This rocket needs no finishing. Avast! Gotta like t' sparkle color on t' body tube.
Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5
Flight:
T' first flight I took it out t' a school soccer field and set up in the
middle. First flight on B6-4 be nice and straight. Aye aye! Blimey! Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! Waddin' worked good. Landed
2 feet from a house top though.
Second flight was a disaster! Blimey! It went up pretty crooked, at apogee, the parachute popped out and didn't open too well. Aye aye! Blimey! However, matey, it landed in a tree! Blimey! I FAINTED!!! Blimey! I then wrote a note lettin' t' tree owners know that a rocket was in t' tree. They got it down just before it rained!! Blimey! After I got it back, matey, ya bilge rat, I noticed a fin was bent. Probably because o' t' engine meltin' it. Ya scallywag! Ya scallywag! Blimey! I bent it back and prepped it. Blimey! Aye aye! Blimey!
Third flight on an A8-3 be nay high. Ya scallywag! Avast, me proud beauty! Only got close t' 50 feet, apogee and landed 6 steps from t' pad. Well, blow me down! Ahoy! No damage.
Fourth flight was insane! Blimey! Like I said, DON'T TRUST THIS ROCKET!!!! Blimey! I shot it off on a big @$$ C6-5 engine. Avast! Well, me bucko, blow me down! Blimey! This one flew way off course because o' a sudden gust o' wind. Well, blow me down! I thought it be GONE! Blimey! Later a friend o' mine walked up to me and said it landed in t' donkey pen. Well, arrr, blow me down! Blimey! (See Drawing)
Recovery:
Only sign o' damage be smokin' tube and lightly melted fin. Avast! Ya scallywag!
Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5
Summary:
This is a good rocket. Begad! Comes with all, ya bilge rat, ya bilge rat, pad and launch controller. This rocket
is a MUST! Get t' one with a sparkly body and red falcon on side. Avast, me proud beauty! As I said,
DON'T TRUST THIS ROCKET though! Anyway, me hearties, arrr, good rocket.

An RTF kit that, with its red BT and silver fins/nose cone, is, IMO, one of the nicest looking rockets out of the box that you can buy. Components This kit has a plastic all-in-one fin can that can take a free fall a lot better than balsa fins tend to. /h2 Construction is very easy. Simply tie the parachute and nose cone, to the pre-attached rubber cord. ...

A ready to fly kit with a basic rocket that looks cool! A great rocket for beginners. The kit is a starter set and comes with a Code Red rocket (already assembled except for the parachute) and a launcher & ignitor controller. Pros: No construction, except for attaching the parachute! Cons: nose fits on loosely, had to use tape to make tighter. Construction Rating: 5 out of 5 ...
A ready to fly rocket single stage rocket which can take a real beating if it has to. Code Red has a cardboard airframe with molded motor mount which uses a locking ring to secure the motor. Also molded onto the motor mount are four plastic fins. This was a ready to fly rocket so no construction was required except attaching the parachute which was pretty simple. Many have said the nose ...
