A black and red rocket with a grinning skull on the side, in the Estes catalog since the late 1960s and still selling. The build is honest and old fashioned: paper tube, laser cut wood fins glued on by hand, nose cone, shock cord, and a parachute printed with skull and crossbones. Sixteen inches tall, it climbs to about 600 feet on a C6-5.
Skill level is low but not zero, so it suits someone who has flown a snap together model and now wants to sand, fill and paint properly. Fins glued straight fly straight; sloppy ones weathercock into the wind. Nothing about it is high performance, and there is no payload bay, but as a second or third kit it teaches the craft side of the hobby better than any plastic fin can.
