GREAT ROCKET! But needs some additional strengthening to the fins.
Posted by Tweeks on 9th Sep 2016
So this rocket is a great deal! A 4inch upscale of the awesome Estes D(24mm) kit! However, the rear fins are the achilese heel of this kit. With the slightest sideways impact, the rear fins become severely damaged or snap off completely. This is a design flaw where by only 1/3rd of the rear fin actually goes through te BT to the motor tube. Taht being said.. there IS a fix. See my step by step photo documentation on this here:
