"Bad instructions"
billyaday
I purchased 40 of these for my group of boys. I pulled one out to make sure I knew what I was doing so I could teach them. I was able to figure it out on my own but when I looked at the instructions it was down right confusing. When I passed them out to the boys and their counselors and Dads more questions came up. Also the instructions tell you to cut out a measure tool one page 1. When you cut it out you cut out half of the instructions. Other than bad instructions, I think this should be a good rocket.

"Very Good Rocket"
henryvstone
This rocket is and excellent choice for beginners, because it is relatively easy to build as being very powerful. Pros: 1.) Runs on most common A-C engines. 2.) Easy to build. 3.) Goes very high. Cons: 1.) Wooden fins may fall of on landing (This can be repaired). 2.) Lots off small parts can go missing (Common in almost all model rocket kits).

 
"Estes rockets are junk"
cdpforever06272015
I’m not too find about putting together Estes rockets but the hobby store near me just opened back up(covid-19) and the high flyer was on sale for $6. So I decided to purchase it while I’m waiting for my LOC and aerotech kits to come in the mail. The reason why I don’t like Estes is because they are sloppy and you get glue every and it sticks to everything except for what you are building.

 
"Went big and lost it"
Rocket_starship (Boonton, NJ)
I loved the ease of building this rocket. The fins went on without a hitch, the rest assembled very nicely. I launched it on a B6 to start and recovered it, however went for the C6 and it was out of sight. Going to try a heavier nose cone weight this time and hope to not lose it. Whoever found it in Point Harbor, NC, have a blast!
