Astra III Model Rocket Starter Set Skill Level 1 HAZ

This is a great choice for a starter set for anyone getting started in the hobby. The Quest launch pad is a simple, easy to use design. The pad tilts for wind adjustments with a kick stand on one leg. This is easier than the wingnut angle adjuster of other designs. The launch controller is really cool, with a single 9V lithium battery inside a kid-sized grip. The controller makes a beeping sound for continuity, and has a red lit button to launch. The Astra III rocket is very simple to build, and is a reliable design. The product description is out of date, as the new kits include three A3-4 Q-Jet engines which use composite propellent, not the older A6-4 black powder engines.
