OK, so a little history on this one.
Last year, when I was just introducing my boy to the hobby we ordered the Cobra because he thought it looks cool and I kinda thought the helicopter recovery would be interesting.
Because it's an E2X (Easy to Assemble) I let him do most of the build, and I think he made a pretty good job all in all.
So one cold day in February we took the Cobra and a couple of other rockets out for a launch. The first two went off beautifully, the Cobra which had been sitting in the cold for about half an hour was our last launch and long story short, the nose cone never popped and the thing did a burning lawn dart onto the frozen ground and crushed the BT.
Fast forward a few months after an email to Estes CS and a replacement kit which sat on the shelf I decided to open the kit and put this one together and see if we can successful flight.
