LOC-I IRIS

1" Iris

The build was fun and easy. Everything about this kit is quality except the shock cord. The rocket was launched one time on a Estes C6-5. Launch went well and ejection happened at apogee. Upon ejection the Kevlar shock cord broke about 10" outside of the booster causing the booster to fall from around 800' coming to rest on hard pack dirt. The impact broke one fin loose. The rocket is repairable but I would expect the supplied Kevlar shock cord would be sufficient for at least one flight.

The mini-Iris

I wanted to build the small Iris before started the giant Iris, so my students will have a great idea as to what they are looking at this school,year. It was a fast and easy build that was actually fun . Can’t wait to see it fly.
