Great First Rocket Review by David

This was the first rocket I have launched in over 20 years. I bought it for my son for his 13th birthday. Rocket flew extremely high using C6-5 engines. We launched it 3 times before losing the nose cone, which separated from the main body and drifted off into oblivion. We did, however, recover the main body, and I plan to purchase a replacement.

Very cool like the alpha III ! Review by jacob0174

Similar to the alpha III except instead of glue it snaps right together! It is bigger and flies a little lower but can be an awesome replacement to the alpha III if you don't like gluing. FINAL POINT: GREAT BEGINNER FIRST ROCKET! (Posted on 2/12/12)

awesome Review by cheddar

awesome rocket flies high and straight (Posted on 9/10/11)

Fantastic and easy to assemble Review by Luis

My 4 year-old daughter LOVED this rocket. Unfortunately, dear old dad got a little overzealous and put a C-engine in it with not enough field space and lost it after quite a few sucessful B-level launches. It flies straight, true and HIGH when given the proper enginee. Rest assured, we'll be buying another one - awesome rocket that kids and adults alike will love. (Posted on 8/7/11)
