Check out the reviews over at EMRR:

I built, flew & wrote the review for The Liberator. IMHO it's a little underpowered (build it with a 24mm MMT instead), but I thought it to be a great kit that's unlike almost any other LPR kit (other than another Sunward kit!) on the market.

HTH,

There's new owners now, so maybe they'll work to release some new designs.

I've done the Phoenix and the Desert Fox. Fun to build cool to fly. I built mine stock. The pheonix was destroyed but I'll do it again with a 24mm mount. Dont try to fly these on anything more than a 5 seconds delay. 3 is better.

I agree. See my flight logs as to why.

Parachutes not deplying are not realy a problem. I'd suggest using a streamer, because she does a nice little a$$ slide when she's coming down! I wonder if this could be made into a glider rocket?

If you're able to come down this weekend, we can stop by the office and you can check them out in person.

Kind of late reply but I found the thread after doing a search.

The pictures on the website originally were lacking and just the ones of the front inserts.

I have found a few more and posted them on the web site.

I hope to have some more in a month or so
