"Classic"

This is a great revival of an old classic. I have several of these kits, and have given some away to folks. My older kits came with a balsa nose cone. the last two (Dec 2014) came with a plastic nose cone. While not true to the original - the plastic nose cones are less prone to denting. Flies just as well as the balsa (stable). Good candidate for upsizing the motor mount to 24mm (and adding some weight inside those new plastic nose cones to keep it stable, I think a C11 would be about perfect). great flyer on C size engines only drawback - the fins won't hold it upright...so if you want to put it on display you need a stand for it... like I say, I have bought several so that shouldn't keep you from buying it.

One of my favorite blast from the past kits... A little advice for this build is take your time with the fins... let the glue get tacky and then put them on... also wait to put the MMT in until the glue has dried on the fins... this way you can have the BT sit flat with all 4 fins on... The balsa nosecone needs very little CWF to hide the grain... and it is very easy to sand as well... I put it up on a b6-4 this morning with out even painting it and it flew straight as an arrow... this kit also looks like a downscaled version of the Nike Smoke... so paint choices may be a little difficult. Rocket Rating 9/10
