Reviews
Review Summary
The reviews highlight a mix of experiences with the rocket, noting its appealing design and ease of assembly as positives, along with reliable ejection and recovery in some cases. However, many users report issues with the shuttles, which often fail to glide as expected, tumble like leaves, or break easily due to their fragile foam material. Performance varies with engine type and minor adjustments, but overall satisfaction is tempered by durability and gliding concerns.
