The big one came out so nice, I'm almost scared to fly it

I'm a sucker for large rocket gliders.

Looks great! So, when does the 2X Baron go on sale (hint, hint)?

Then you'll love this. I haven't had time to do much work on it yet, but here is a pic of the foam core for the upper wing of an R/C Red Baron

We're working on it, but there are some problems. Mostly the kit would be expensive. We have to use oversized balsa sheet for the wings, and that stuff sells for a premium. We're looking at alternatives. The nose cone is expensive as well, but I'm hoping to have that solved in a little while.

I just ordered a Red Barron 2 days ago,
Just wondering, why is there no "C" engines listed for this rocket, only A-B's.

I've never been able to recover one flown on a C engine. You can use a C if you want, just be in a BIG field. We limited the recommended engines to the A-B range because of the glide distance.
