I'm a beginner and SBB is my first "completed" rocket so I can only compare it to a Madcow Mozzie that I never finished. I did warp one of the fins when laminating them (had to make a 5th) and as others have mentioned, the walls of the body tube are thin, so slide a smaller tube inside when cutting the slots for the fins. As a beginner, I made my share of mistakes but had fun figuring things out. As I was waiting for glue/paint to dry I checked out "Rock Sim" and websites with thrust curves. I added an ejection baffle, rail buttons, and a nylon parachute.
This 36.8-inch rocket is designed to be big and light. I fly on cheap "D" motors from Hobby Lobby with a
24mm adapter. The 2.6" diameter SBB goes up nice and slow puts on a real show. Hard to find anything like this for a "D" motor. I think you will be happy with this rocket when you start flying.
(I'm eager to try the newly retooled and inexpensive black powder "E" motors that supposedly don't explode and then on to Der Red Big Max)
