I can also tell you that Polecat makes very good kits. Just ask Neil about his Nike Smoke! Besides, Andy Woerner (Polecat) lives just across I-8 from you, and you can go pick it up with a 10-minute drive, and he can even give you pointers/help on building it. He's our #1 vendor of rocketry stuff in town (What's Up Hobbies), and he's at 99% of the local launches.
