EZI-65

[Kehoes23]

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?

 

[cwbullet]

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

Can't go wrong:

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"

 

[jimzcatz]

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!
