"Perfect Starter Set"
RocketYoda (California)
Simply, a great value for any rocket starter set! WOW...two rockets and a launcher for this price...you can't go wrong with this kit. The Amazon rocket assembly is very easy for any age. Cardboard rocket tubes, plastic fins, plastic nose cone, self adhesive decals...minimal gluing. Heck, you can have this one out of the bag, constructed, and flying within 30 minutes even if you're slow... ;-)! Instant satisfaction for the kids (and adults). The 2nd rocket, the Crossfire is also easy to build, but will need a little bit more time if you want to make it like the picture. The fins with this model rocket are balsa wood which will require a small amount of effort to paint. However, the end result is a beautiful rocket that will raise your skill level above the first rocket, the Amazon. However, if you don't want to paint it, that works too. It's just not as pretty as it disappears into the daylight sky...lol. Both rockets fly very well, so no issue there. Remember, this kit does NOT include rocket motors so don't forget to purchase a few. B6-4 or C6-5 would be my recommendation...around $8 for 3ea. Now, quit reading these reviews and go order/build your rockets. If these are your first rockets, you're going to have a blast!!! Have fun...

"Sorry to say"
OGPlayer1 (Sacramento CA)
I bought this starter kit so i could get back into model rockets on a budget. Unfortunately this does not come with the launcher and starter shown, i received the Astron II starter/launcher. This is a step down from the launcher and starter pictured, it uses a 9 volt battery opposed to 4AA batteries, plus they are both bright orange. I don't want to write a negative review but this has pushed me to write my first negative review, for anything. I do feel that this is worth the price but its not what i thought i was going to get.

 
"Nice combo kit"
bonomijoe
Nice kit but the launch system is different than the one pictured. Two great rocket to get started into the hobby. Built them with my son and it was great. Great directions everything we needed but the motors and a battery. Wish the launch was the one pictured as the one supplied is a cheaper version.

 
"So much fun!!!!"

We purchased this set last Christmas (2012), unfortunately it took us until October to finally get them built and boy were we missing out! I do have to say that you need to purchase some modeling glue and the recovery wadding. I am new at this and not realizing I needed these things held us up a bit. I have 4 boys (ages 10 and under). They loved putting the rockets together with their dad. We finally launched and it went perfect. We set it off 3x and had our neighbors watching from across the field. A week later we got them out again. I love to see the excitement on my kids faces as it launches and to see them run to recover the rocket. Buying more engines this Christmas!!! This brings me back to 8th grade science class - the first time I built my own rocket. Would definitely recommend!
