Review Summary

The reviews highlight that this rocket is generally easy to build and fun for beginners, with impressive altitude and fast flights, though it requires some prep work for painting due to balsa fins. Many note its tendency to drift far under parachute recovery, especially in windy conditions, making it easy to lose without a large recovery area. Some criticisms include flimsy body tube slots and limited decals, with suggestions for improvements like stronger materials and modifications for better performance.

really cool!

By: Nakota1294

Easy build with balsa fins that are going to require some prep work to get ready for paint. Fast moving rocket that reaches altitudes that make it easy to lose sight of if your unable to track it to apogee. Two minor criticisms though, there are only two fin decals so one side of your rocket will look like the manufacturers photo while the other side will be a fairly plain looking white rocket, second criticism: it is a light rocket, that reaches some decent altitude, with a parachute recovery, as a result it spends a lot of time under canopy and can travel some impressive distance with mild breezes. I recommend enlarging the chute hole to make it harder for the trees to get this one.

A Great Little Rocket

By: RocketYoda (California)

This is a fantastic little rocket. Easy to build right out of the box. Since the fins are balsa, not plastic, it'll raise your skill level slightly if you decide to paint the rocket. The fins will take a little bit more effort to sand/prime/paint to get a smooth finish, but that's part of the fun. I followed the red/white color theme on the box and the Crossfire is a great looking rocket. Other color combos would work well too, so use your imagination! Of course, if you decide against any cosmetic work, that's OK too! Regardless, this baby flies fast and high. You'll certainly have lot's of fun with the Crossfire.

The Slotted Body Tube Sounds Like a Good Idea - but it's NOT

By: drmower (Germantown, TN)

Because the body tube is so flimsy the slots for the fins make it almost impossible the get the body tube to a line along the fins. If you buy this kit I would through away the body tube that comes in the kit and buy the good old brownest-color body tube. This will require you to cut the fins flush at the root where it touches the body tube.
