While that is a cool kit, if you really wanted extreme altitude out of 38mm minimum diameter you would want a shorter airframe. For and additional $25 you can get the Wildman Blackhawk 38, which is carbon fiber (I believe).

That being said I am not big on extreme altitude.


One of the biggest things I like about fiberglass is the fact that it is simple to use in construction. Don't get me wrong, I like a typical paper/wood rocket, and I like laying up fiberglass myself, but as far as ease of use, putting together a fiberglass kit is almost as easy as an Estes E2X model. And paint goes on smooth as silk as well.

Edit: I get my glasses next week. I didn't notice that the kit is 3 inch with a 38mm mount. My bad!
