Brief:
T' Custom Zero Gravity is an easy t' build kit with plastic nose cone, arrr, shiver me timbers, die-cut balsa fins, arrr, and
12" parachute.
I used a shorter body tube, a streamer and rotated t' fins 180 degrees.
Modifications:
I followed t' same instructions as buildin' t' stock Zero Gravity, except I substitued
t' parts listed above.

This kit was easy t' build. T' instructions were easy t' follow. No special tools were needed. Avast! Just glue, a hobby knife, shiver me timbers, ya bilge rat, a ruler, pencil and angle iron. I did use a hot glue cannon for t' shock cord mount.
Construction:


T' finishin' be simple. Well, blow me down! I just sanded, matey, primed and painted t' finished rocket. Well, blow me down! I painted it t' suggested stock blue color, me hearties, but added some red fade in at t' top o' t' body tube and tips o' t' fins.


I applied some waterslide decals from an Estes Mini Max kit instead o' t' stock Zero Gravity vinyl wrap.
T' rocket was much smaller than t' stock rocket so I put a streamer.
Flight:
I flew t' rocket three times on A8-3 motors.
I would recommend this motor for this rocket, especially when launcin' at small fields. Ya scallywag! This rocket flies much higher than t' stock rocket on t' same motors. Begad! Avast!
I drag raced it with both a stock Zero Gravity and an Estes Mini Max.
Summary:
It is a great flyin' rocket mod. Well, blow me down! I will definitely keep flyin' it.
