Thank you dwmzmm I believe you are one of the first guys that have given an account of having this kit back in the 70s. Its good to hear you had a good experience and the flight was stable. The picture is nice to see. Thanks again. I wonder what the C6-2 motor would be equal to what motor today?


Glad you got some tips from the blog!
I would say the rocket is probably stable, it's just underpowered with todays C6-3 engines.
The older engines seemed to have more "oomph!"
A composite 18mm D might be a better choice.
