With a little help, the boys in our Bear Den (3rd graders) were able to put this rocket together over the course of two meetings. The one-piece plastic fin unit eliminates any frustration with fin alignment. The most involved part of building this kit is the engine mount (which is pretty simple). After two meetings and a little white glue and paint, we were at the park with a bulk pack of A8-3s. By the end of launch day, we had almost 20 new rocketeers (kids and adults)! This bulk pack is a little more expensive than others, but the simplicity you get with it is well worth the cost.

This is my favorite rocket to build with scouts. It has a parachute, Plastic 1 piece fins and can be put together in about 45 min when im helping 12 boys to work on it at once. Yes it does cost a couple of dollars more but well worth it.
