Crossfire ISX Model Rocket Kit

Yeah, it's a near basic model, but it's fun to create your own paint scheme (as I did). Good looking rocket. Easy to build. Will buy again!

This is a fantastic little rocket. Easy to build right out of the box. Since the fins are balsa, not plastic, it'll raise your skill level slightly if you decide to paint the rocket. The fins will take a little bit more effort to sand/prime/paint to get a smooth finish, but that's part of the fun. I followed the red/white color theme on the box and the Crossfire is a great looking rocket. Other color combos would work well too, so use your imagination! Of course, if you decide against any cosmetic work, that's OK too! Regardless, this baby flies fast and high. You'll certainly have lot's of fun with the Crossfire.

I've bought several of these, most of which I've stashed away for the nose cone/tail cone combo. That said, I have built and flown one, but only because one of my flying buddies claimed that he couldn't stand his because he couldn't lose it. I wasn't 100% sure what he was getting at, but I pointed out to him that it flew dead straight every flight and looked great despite being saddled with sticker decals. He eventually came around. I built mine, painted it as shown on the package, and launched it at my local ball field. Dead straight flight, time after time. This is one of the better recent Estes designs and offers impressive small field performance, which is what I'm looking for the bulk of the time. No complaints here. More like this please.
