Loved it!! Well worth the hard assembly!
The media could not be loaded. This product was quite a tedious build, considering there was sanding, priming, painting, gluing, and decals to apply, but I got a great video of the launch. The weight seemed to go toward the side where the shuttle was mounted, and as a result, the flight was not 100% successful, as the flight arc ended up nearly horizontal before the parachute deployed, and this happened over the parking lot of the park we launched at, so there was damage. I would love to do it all over again, but the assembly took longer than I would have liked. I would definitely recommend this kit for the patient person, and hope you do the paint and everything. It's worth it. Make sure you launch in a large grassy area, as you never know where you could land.

Multiple flights are not likely
Shipping took a while.. assembly somewhat challenging..I'd like higher quality materials to be used

Fun build
It was a fun rocket to built and fairly good instructions. This is not meant to be a first build or beginner rocket, but it goes together well and was designed nicely and good instructions.

nice looking can't wait to build it
This is an e series rocket you can use a D motor and launch the rocket but to use E motors you'll have to upgrade launchpad and controller which can be additional purchases

Christmas gift
Gave this to my 13-year old grandson for Christmas & he loved it. Easy for him to assemble since he is not a beginner. Quick shipping & as described.

Take your time and test fit all parts before gluing.
Shuttle wings seem to be very thin and fragile, we'll see how the first flight goes.
