This is a very easy-to-build rocket and a great-looking rocket. Basically you just add an engine and launch. Do be careful however, the launching lug is molded into the rocket. Be careful setting it on the launch rod.

The media could not be loaded.
As you can see from the video, it launched fine but didn’t glide at all. That’s the whole reason we bought it, instead of the traditional rocket. Perhaps it’s because we started off with the lowest altitude engine (A size) to see what would happen. Who knows! Bottom line, as you could hear in the video, my son still loved it!

I have experience building complex rockets but sometimes you just want something different that is ready to go. This fit the bill. My son really enjoyed launching it and after a couple of flights it was still in excellent condition ready to be sent again.

Doesn’t bring the fuse.

Very easy to assemble…consists of attaching the parachute to the nose cone and you’re ready to fly. Sturdy construction from styrofoam and a very futuristic look.

We weren’t sure what to expect, but it did a gentle glide on one of the launches, during the delay before deploying the parachute, that was beautiful. I think it was launched maybe a half dozen times. The broken tail fin — still hanging on — can be glued back down. The jet is mostly styrofoam with a solid-feeling resin “cone” and a cardboard tube core. It is basically prebuilt and the stickers are a nice touch. It is a good option for cloudy and damp launch days.
