"My first high power rocket"
jayorr (Utah)
I bought my first initiator 25 years ago. I now have my third, although Aerotech fins last forever and I reused my first 2 sets many times. I remember my first composite motor flight. It was only an E but what a difference! I went to my first high power launch shortly after that and the first flight I saw was a glorious low altitude detonation that totally destroyed the rocket. I WAS HOOKED! Since then I have flown Many hundreds of rockets up to M power. If you see my comments, know that I am coming from a high power perspective. I have flown prior Initiators on H and I power. I also drop staged a G motor on mine once. That is why I recommend epoxy. It is heavy, but it is a superior adhesive. Another note on all rockets like this one. Throw motor blocks and motor retention systems in the trash. If you use them, you can't go with a bigger motor. All Aerotech hits are GREAT! Easy to build, logical good instructions. High Quality materials. Love those fins! And don't forget the ejection gas cooling system that is built in. This is the best $40 you can spend on hobbies. Fly it with G power. You will never be the same.

"Aerotech Initiator build"
jmtolliver
I've built quite a few kits in the last couple years, including the Aerotech Astrobee D. This Initiator kit has to rank in my top 5 favorite builds. Superb quality of materials, logical instructions and the kit went together flawlessly with very little in the way of sanding. In the instruction sheet it clearly says to use CA glue to build this kit and I would NOT deviate from this! Aerotech designed the kit with CA glue as the adhesive. Definitely do not use epoxy or anything else. This kit is easy enough for a novice builder to put together but yet it can be flown on a G motor. 5 stars all the way for this kit!

 
"Great Rocket!"
alderuyter
I have built 3 Aerotech rockets and they all have been great! This Rocket kit has all the launch equipment you will need to start mid-power flying. Me and a friend have built LOC, Estes, and Quest rockets, of all of them Aerotech gives you the best deal. This rocket flew 3000 foot on a G-80! It is an easy rocket to build, like it says it's great for people who are starting mid-power rocketry.

 
"Aerotech Initiator"
craig
My son received this rocket for Christmas and we found it to be a straight forward, easy build. The instructions are well written, and the new motor retainer Aerotech now provides is far better than the old motor hook. Attach the retainer with JB Weld as it will hold up under heat. We used medium CA glue for everything else (per instructions). There is no need for epoxy in putting this kit together because the fin-lock system holds everything in place so well. Craig
