Brief:
This rocket is designed for performance. With the ability to reach altitudes of 1500 feet easily this sport scale
rocket is quick to build with nothing but excitment.
Construction:
The parts include:
Finishing:
Finishing depends on you. I tried to follow the cover art and used two red fins and nose cone and a single dark blue/
black fin. Three base coats of white primer and sanding with one coat of gloss white. Then masking and painting the
fins and nose cone.

Flight:
I have only flown this rocket twice due to lack of engines. The first flight on a C11-7 scramed off the pad as
straight as an arrow to about 800 feet, nosed over to a perfect recovery. No damage but scared a bunch of kids though.
The second flight, two days later was in slight 5 to 10 mph winds and the launch pad set at 15 degrees into the wind. I launched it with D12-5. Talk about fast, I lost sight of her until I caught the red streamer fluttering in the wind. She came down slightly harder this time bearly missing some high branchouscatchumholdems (trees) before hitting the ground.
Recovery:
This is a rocket that is screaming for a drag race.
Flight Rating: 5 out of 5
Summary:
This is a wounderful rocket from SW. If you like speed, varied engines and endurence this rocket is for you. My only
complaint is that there is only one decal. As for customer service, SW is great when my decal got wet before I was
ready to put it on. I talked to them and they sent one out to me within a few days, before I even knew the price. Their
great and I will add more to my collection.
