The finish is what sets the Estes "Rock-it" apart from the rest of their kits. When finished properly, this one looks as if it was made of stone. But don't let that fool you. This is one great flyer and it always gets a bunch of remarks at launches due to its goofiness. A must have for any serious rocketeer.

Flight #2 for this rocket. Hasn't flown since '08. Good straight flight with good altitude. Parachute was ejected at apogee and decent was good. Found one fin cracked at root edge on recovery due to a hard landing on gravel road but a little super glue will fix that. Also have a 1/2" paint chip at top of BT that needs touch up otherwise OK.
