Beautiful Rocket
Came just as described. Absolute beauty of a rocket. It came completely assembled which was a surprise for me since i have been building rockets from ESTES for over 30 year since I was a boy and remember painstakingly attaching each fin etc etc from back in the day. Haven't launched it yet, but really like the design of the engine mount, again compared to models I built as a boy/teenager.
