Hi-Flier Flying Model Rocket Kit, ages 10 and up with Adult Supervision under 12

This thing is pretty cool! I decided to just paint the whole thing black because it's what I had on hand. Thought I'd write this review before I launch it because it sounds like I might not get it back😅. Had a little trouble with fin alignment, but after a few tries, it turned out alright. My favorite glue for making rockets is hot glue because it's sturdy, easily shaped, and dries almost instantly. The only downside side is it's more messy, and since it's almost instant, you really have to be fast and precise! Overall, it was a nice and easy build that is good for beginners (as long as you don't mind painting).

This rocket is built for speed and for height. It is small with a very durable fin system. It is not a difficult rocket to make and it will take you about an hour to make it - depending on glue drying time. Everything about it is designed to minimize weight without sacrificing strength so it can go fast and high. It has a streamer rather than a parachute which is a good thing because of the height it attains. With a parachute it could very well sail off quite a distance from your launch zone. I like the solid fin system. They are stronger than normal. I found the recommended painting scheme to be a bit too much, even though I did it by the suggested way. You might just want to spray paint the whole thing one solid color. Nice little rocket, cheap and fast. Remember that this is just a rocket. You still have to purchase engines, wadding and a launcher if you are just starting out in the hobby.

hi, I have had this rocket for a long time 18 launches still is fine easy to build and flew fine. there is no parachute its a bright orange streamer still has never broken its worth the money 100%. you need to buy a launch pad and engines it takes A-C sizes I would buy this if I were you.

The hi-flyer lives up to its name, a bit too well! I put it together so carefully and painted it this cool yellow on black pattern. Just after the paint dried I ran out to the field to launch it. We did a few test launches on a different low flying rocket, just to get a sense of the wind conditions. It was dead calm. Unable to constrain myself I loaded a C6 and launched. I barely saw it go up, and never saw it again. Great model and a real thrill, just don't put too much effort into it!

I build the Hi-Flier XL a few weeks back, and love it on a D12 or E16, but then I saw this lil baby version...had to give it a go. It's so tiny! Like SUPER tiny! I did not realize it was that much smaller than the XL. This thing uses 18mm (Estes A/B/C) motors with a minimum dimension body tube, but it really should be using like a 1/2A3-5T or some other teeny tiny motor with a mount. This dude is small! And we love it :) Streamer recovery FTW. More rockets need streamer recovery.

The instructions weren’t in English and it was extremely difficult to out overhear. In fact, as my husband and son were assembling it, it broke!

Got this to replace one I lost. Very easy to build. Flies pretty high with c6-7 engine. Has streamer recovery.

I didn't like the restraining clip being mounted externally on the fuselage. It's fully functional and flies very fast to unbelievable altitudes.
