This kit brings the mean looks of the AGM-33 Pike to a small, lightweight package that is exceptionally complete (the only accessory needed is a motor retainer) and at a great price. The body tube and fins are sturdy and the included recovery gear is high quality. Because of the light weight of the kit, it can be flown on motors as small as a D12 (with adapter, not included), and can get big altitude on F and G 29mm loads. This design lends itself to many different paint schemes, and looks great when complete.

This is an advanced kit.
You may need to adjust CG and either friction-fit your motor or use the retainer. Epoxy can cause an allergic reaction in some people. Adult supervision and wearing rubber gloves is recommended when working with epoxy. You need to sand the fiberglass nose cone and other fiberglass parts. Watch out for the fiberglass strands sticking up inside the nose cone - they are glass. Wear a particle mask to avoid breathing in the fiberglass dust.
Since this is an advanced kit, we expect you to have launch equipment and experience building and launching mid-power rockets.
