Small and Delicate

By theft19 October 17, 2016

Pretty straight forward build, but the tube and fins can be difficult for large hands or for beginners. The thin fins don't have a lot of gluing surface, and required a long holding time before they would set with out sliding. Would definitely consider the fin gluing rig for this rocket. Also, the fins are not die cut - had to trace the paper pattern onto the balsa wood and cut each out on own. Not a huge deal, but I was building it with my 7 year old son who wanted to help with each step, and I wasn't quite ready to let him use the knife yet! May have gone with a different rocket if I had known this about the fins. This rocket flies HIGH as advertised - definitely stick to A or B engines unless you have a very large area to launch at, and if you use a C engine take the advice of other and replace the orange streamer with a reflective mylar streamer.
