They have some really cool looking rockets so I decided to take the plunge and I bought their AS 11 Kilter and their Aim 54 Phoenix. I love the look of all the multiple fins. However, each kit was missing a part. Luckily they weren't actual parts needed on the bodies of the rockets, but parts used in the construction of the rockets (pushers and spacers) and I was able to use items that I had lying around and was able to complete the rockets. Kind of frustrating though, as these rockets are pricey. I have not launched these yet, so I cannot comment on how the engine baffles work. They do not call for the use of any wadding.
Also, IMHO, the Kilter is kind of a smallish rocket to take a D engine. I'm going to cut a spill hole in the parachute, but, I'm probably planning on losing it. Not a lot of wide open spaces here in Southwest Florida. Is there a quick swap out - D to C/B adapter, similar to Estes E to D engine adapter kit? I already have the D engine mount glued in. Thanks.
