EZI-65

Thinking about getting the LOC EZI-65 rocket kit, anyone have this kit? What are your thoughts on it and how well does it fly?

It flys well and will take most motors you can throw at it. It is light weight and will fly higher than most fiberglass rockets.

I think LOC has made some up grades to the EZI-65

It is a classic, and most classics are that for a reason. Hard to go wrong with it.

What about thicker fins?
If I remember correctly, they use to be 1/8 plywood

I've seen it in H through I (I-65W DMS sold by BuyRocketMotors.com above.....) power with absolute resolve. Should handle a typical G through J without too much of an issue.

Don't overdo the thrust. It's specifically designed for long burn motors. With 1/8" thick fins, a J350 is pushing it. Substitute 3/16" fins and it will handle higher thrust motors up to about a K550.

Thanks every one for the input, I am going to fiberglass the fins and body tube anyway so the thrust won't be an issue.

I thought one of the "You know if you fly rockets too much if..." is "Fly a EZI-65 on a J350 and watch it rain confetti"

That rocket will fly all day long on that motor with no problems.

Love the EZI-65! Mine is built really light, really stock, covered in Monokote.

Have flown it on as little as a G125 (cause I could), on an I65W (cause I just had to!), and as big as a 54-3G J...twice (just to prove it works). A lovely vehicle that performs at its best when its kept light in my humble opinion!

Go get one, you won't regret it!

I did my L1 on it...
