"Good rocket. Terrible decals."

TomnSA (south Texas)

I've owned two of these and both are really good fliers. I haven't tried the optional (sold separately)booster but I think it would be a lot of fun. I just don't have a big enough launch area for that much altitude at the moment. My only complaint is with the main body decal. In both of the ones that I have owned that decal has been messed up. On the the first one the decal was coming off and kinked so badly I had to remove it completely. This in turn removed some of the red finish leaving the raw body tube exposed. The second one had a similar problem, just not quite as bad. On that one I was able to flatten the decal back down for the most part. For just a little more work, I would buy an easy assembly or skill level one kit. Then the decals are up to you.
