Flutter-By Model Rocket Kit

This kit - honestly I wouldn't recommend this one for a beginner. its a interesting concept, but honestly I haven't seen it work well. you need some power, but not too much power. We lost this on a C6-5 (in a big field). Stability was marginal with this motor. however a A8-3 is barely enough. ours had the tendency to roll over at apogee before the ejection charge went off. The rocket was upside down and the ejection charge would fire, sending the top of the rocket down like a missile. yep, straight down (no flutter) . we just couldn't seem to get it to work right. I saw some other folks launch one and it did the same thing... Our next experiment (before loosing it) was to try a booster engine with no delay, or one with very short delay. We had a 2nd kit and I will likely just use the parts for something else. Might work for someone more willing to fiddle with it that I was. By the way, my one son (7) loved playing with this as a static model. He loved the idea of it blowing apart in mid air - but as a real rocket at the field... didn't quite work out for us.
