Fun to build and an interesting, good looking rocket. Flies great on C11-3 and D12-5 engines. I cut a spill hole in the chute and it still drifts a long way in a light wind, but lands safely with no damage on concrete. Video is with a C11-3 engine.

Great kit to build & fly. Been building Estes since I was around 11 years old. I will always remember my first Bandit & Mean Machine rockets.
