Love the Alpha

The Alpha is just one of those iconic rockets. We bought the 12 pack to share with our friends as it greatly reduces the price per rocket. We also built a few ourselves. The Alpha continues to be one of our straightest flying and stable rockets. It has a very wide motor range with a good flight on an A8-3 (perfect for small fields), a great flight on a B6-4, to an out of sight flight on a C6-5 (you may not get this one back). The box comes with 12 rocket kits, plus a bag of spare parts. The 12 chute seems a bit too large. We made our own 8 parachute and it comes down faster without any damage so far.
