This is an all composite, very high-performance kit. This is a sport scale model of the Thiokol Nike Apache. This is not an all-inclusive kit as it does not contain any recovery hardware. While the low part count and fin construction can almost place this rocket in the E2X class, don't be fooled. Flying this kit deserves a big motor and as such, requires you to figure out how to handle deployment so you can get it back. (Rocketreviews.com)

In 2019, this kit retailed for $159.95 - an outstanding value. I am now selling it for $99.95, a $60 savings! $20 flat rate shipping or free pickup. PayPal accepted.

No instructions are included, however, if you are building a 54mm kit and need directions, this is the wrong kit for you. This kit goes together so easily you could practically build it on the field if you brought some milled fiberglass and 30 min epoxy. Some would be put off by this, but I do not think this is an issue. Anyone flying a rocket of this size should be able to intuitively assemble it. About the only thing that was touchy is the upper transition joint required some serious sanding. (Rocketreviews.com)
