I found this on the clearance rack at Hobby Lobby for 33$ around last October. Its sat in my build pile since then =(

Gonna do some research first and see what the common problems are with this kit, and attempt to mitigate any flaws in its design.

depending on the age of the kit, you might find an issue with the transition for the 'payload' section, some of the early kits had transitions that were improperly sized (too small for the tubes). if this is the case with yours, you have two options; one, you can contact Estes and report the problem (and probably get a replacement) or two, glue a wrap of paper inside the larger(payload) tube to make the tubes inside diameter smaller.

The payload Section is a little small for my taste, I was going to order another longer body tube for that part of this rocket
