The Mars Lander is my all time favorite Estes/Semroc kit.
A very fun build and fun to fly as well.
Wish I could still get my favorite motor for it....the long OOP 18mm Cox D8-3.
At 13n-sec it is perfect for a decent altitude flight.
Estes no longer makes a decent motor for it. The C5-3 was good, but the C6-3 is woefully low on thrust for anything but windless conditions.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL
, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !

Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, and HAVOC !
