"BIG Rocket at a Great Price!"
FinBurner (Brandonbacn@outlook.com)
This rocket is BIG! The parts are high-quality and the Aerotech Fin-Lok mechanism makes it really easy to get the fins straight. I'm not so sure about the cooling mesh as I've heard reports it can become clogged, but I haven't experienced that yet. The nose cone required some work (it is heavy duty but the cast lines were obvious). Launching this on a G80 is impressive and LOUD. I highly recommend this for those of you wanting to get a BIG rocket - and the price can't be beat!

"Impressive"
hojomo88 (Eaton, Co)
The Aerotech G-Force is a very impressive rocket and very easy to build I used expoxy to attache the fins because of the stress of being heavy. I flew it for the fist time on a G38-7fj it was a slow flight to about 1,000 ft, awesome flight. The second flight was a Aerotech G80-7g green flame it was fast and hit about 2,000 ft. I flew it a local club lunch and there were several G-Force's they flew great, this has become one my favorites in my fleet.

 
"This is one big rocket!"
davidhoward
Assembly is straight forward on the G Force. I really like the fin-loc system. One thing to do is to pre-fit the fins before applying glue as per the directions. Make sure the rocket separates easily since this rocket pushes the edge of what the stock Aerotech ejection charge can handle. Mine will separate just from the weight of the bottom when you lift it by the nose and had no problems deploying the parachute. I used both CA for initial gluing and then epoxy to reinforce bulkheads and the fins from inside the tube. All the parts are quality made and the assembled rocket looks nice. On launch day folks really took notice! This rocket is big - it lifts off slow - and the G engines are loud as it gains momentum just like a real rocket. One stranger who was watching commented that it looked just like a NASA launch! Now for some cautions - the stock Aerotech launcher (Mantis)was challenged by this rocket. My advice - weigh down the launch pad legs with heavy objects (I'm trying pea gravel in ziplock freezer bags next time), don't shoot it any direction but straight up, and if you can find a stiffer and longer launch rod than the stock item you'll have better control over where this bad boy goes. I've watched cell phone video of our first launch and it looked like Elton John meets eight seconds. The launch pad was bucking and whipping around and the rocket man almost bit the dust! Overall a great looking and impressive rocket.

 
"$66 are you kidding?"
jayorr (Utah)
What a great rocket! I have flown hundreds of mid & high powered rockets, and this one is too cool. Lets face it, these are simple rockets, easy to assemble. Nothing hard here. When you are done you have a very impressive looking bird. Low performance due to high mass, but this rocket could easily be flown on H power. For killer G flights, get a Mustang. I love mine! I read most reviews of this rocket. FOR HEAVENS SAKE, USE EPOXY ON THESE ROCKETS, And don't skimp on the epoxy. I also built mine with the body tubes EPOXIED together. The nose cone slips into the airframe easier than the coupler, just something I like better.
