Part of my building skills for any kind of model came from building Cox line controlled planes and engines back in the mid to late 60's. The only Cox rocket I have ever purchased or flown was the X15. It's one tough rocket and very difficult to pack for proper deployment due to the scale. It could cause some damage if it doesn't at least eject the nc.

On the positive side, Cox used to sell the best wadding I ever used. It was the size of the old Stridex acne pads and about twice as thick. It was great for use in any 1/100 Saturn V as it was almost 3" in diameter. Too bad they stopped making it.
