Haven’t decided if I really want this kit. I have the larger Semroc version still in the box. Haven’t got the nerve to start it yet.

From the side panel engine info this looks like the perfect rocket for the Estes E12 - high enough for a safe recovery but low enough to see the whole flight. Congrats on your acquisition!

That's what I should have done--but I just couldn't wait.

I'm working on a vintage Estes LJII in 1/100 scale. With the 1B, the LJII, the Skylab, and the SV I already have (all in 1/100 scale) I hope to have an epic same scale Saturn/Apollo fleet next year!

Same here!

(AND I have my original Estes 1/70 built . . . well, as well built as something I started as a 13 year old could be built.)
