Dont have it yet but NCR makes great quality kits. If you like it. Buy it.

I had a 8" Hobgoblin back in the day...
It was from North Coast.

Do you actually have this High Power Rocketry magazine edition? I'd like to see the article referring to Danville 8.

There is a review on Rocket Reviews for the 2.6" diameter version.

John Dyer of Red River Rocketry bought the NCR Hobgoblin at NARCON 2019 and flew it last October at the DARS launch. It was on a G motor, I don't recall the designation but it was single use. He appeared to have enjoyed the build and the flight.

Of course, although you would need to reef it, you would also need the 36" NCR parachute. Worked great on a PSII Nike Smoke and Jolly Logic Chute Release.

Side note: I worked for North Coast '93-'94 after retiring from the Air Force. The 8" Hobgoblin and 8" Korona were available, but it was difficult getting the fiberglass nose cones. Long lead times.
