This is a high-power kit.
Seawolf is a big and heavy rocket, therefore you need to pay close attention to the CG. You also need to pick the parachute and retainer. 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.
