This is a high-power kit.
You need to adjust CG, pick the parachute and retainer, therefore we suggest this kit for people with
previous rocket building
experience. Epoxy can cause an allergic reaction in some people. Adult supervision and wearing rubber gloves is recommended when working with epoxy.
This kit does not include an engine retention system. It is up to the builder to provide for motor retention. We recommend the 38mm diameter
Aero Pack Engine Retainers (38P). They also give any rocket an extra professional-looking appearance. For dual-deployment - don't forget to pick
4" Altimeter Bay.
