I've only seen a couple photos on here, and finally found one in my LHS, so I grabbed myself a Lynx today.
Before I get snapping photos and cutting tubing I'll give some initial thoughts from a quick browse of the package.
- Estes really dropped the ball on the insert card. The 3D rendered image doesn't really show how complex this little kit really is.
- This is a complex little kit, but looks like it's going to be a very fun build. I'd probably say making it Skill Level 3 was a bit optimistic.
- I was in a bit of a panic, the instruction sheet had three different languages, none of them were English. But a 2nd sheet was in the bag that does include words I can understand.
- Decals are interesting, but bland at the same time. I don't know if I'll go with the factory scheme. I mean, they're just plain white. But complex shaped. Weird.
- I'm worried about stability, but I'm not good enough to sim it in open rocket.
For right now, I'm flat out exhausted. So I'll start the actual build tomorrow.
