Brief:
Large single stage rocket which is a replica of the high-velocity version of the Arcas sounding rocket.
Construction:
The HV Arcas came in a sturdy box . All the parts where there when it arrived. The instructions were easy to follow and had a lot of illustrations. The parts all fit and if assembled right is very study. No special tools were needed.
