Components

This is a pretty regular 3FNC rocket, but the part quality is what makes it shine. The rubber band shock cord is about 1/4 inch wide, much thicker than others I have come across. It also seems to be a slightly different, more sturdy material. This may be standard for all large-caliber rockets, but this is my first, so it's hard to tell. The fins are also of high quality. They are thicker and sturdier than other fins I've seen, and seem to be of higher quality balsa.The parachute, as always, is very cool. The decals really add to the personality of the kit-Mitt grabben! Nicht stompen! This kit includes an unusual fin alignment jig whuch is punched out of cardboard and placed in two parts at each end of the rocket to draw the fin alignment lines. I wish that every kit had this, as it made everything very easy.
