Brief:
Large mid power model for low altitude flights.
Construction:
Very good materials except the coupler which needs to be beefed up
Very quick assembly with major problems in construction. The instructions were pretty straightforward. The fins could be sturdier, but I have flown this rocket 10+ times with only a cracked joint. Very good major components.
Finishing:
Easy to finish, except for its size, so it takes awhile.
Construction Rating: 4 out of 5
Flight:
It flies very low, slow, and straight. I have never seen any weathercocking with this kit. I love flying it on G38s because I love that black smoke. It looks really cool in the air.
Recovery:
I installed 2 feet of metal wire for insurance and I also put 3 parachutes in it. Looks awesome coming down on 3 parachutes. I love it.
Flight Rating: 5 out of 5
Summary:
Very awesome kit and I would recommend it to anybody with previous building experience. Just another brag on Aerotech.
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5
Great flight for my L1 cert launch! Flies slow and smooth, lots of fun! Overall Rating: 5
Brief: The G-Force is a single staged, parachute recovered large model rocket. There were 2 4" body tubes that were made out of the AT tubing. I opted to design the rocket for a payload by not gluing the nose. It has 3 fins made of EXTREMELY thin plastic that look just like the Sumo fins. The motor mount was 24" by my best guess, and made from thick cardboard. The shock cord appears to be 12' ...
This is a great mid-power flyer with two downsides, limited range of motors, high price. All the normal components: Two 4" tubes, an ACE nosecone, 42" parachute, bulkhead equipment, motor tube, CR's, baffle system, elastic 12' shock cord, fins. Instructions are very simple if you have built any other Aerotech kits. If not, then read through them and make sure you understand them. If you ...
Aerotech's 4", G-powered, parachute recovered rocket using their proprietary LABYRINTH ejection baffle system. Pros: Big (for Aerotech) Easy to build, very nice flyer Cons: Limited recommended motor range. Very thin fins. Pricy. Being my first 4" kit, my first impression was WOW! There's something very nice about being able to get your hands into the airframe to work. All the parts listed ...
