Nearly 80 inches of rocket, built from four body tube sections, which is why people photograph it standing next to a person. The Mean Machine is skill level 3: the tube joints must be aligned or the whole thing bends in flight. It flies on E engines, or on D engines with the supplied spacer, and reaches around 700 feet, low for its size but plenty impressive with that length rising off the pad.
The appeal is presence rather than altitude, and it draws a crowd at any club launch. Downsides are practical: it will not fit in a normal closet or a small car, the long airframe is easy to dent, and a standard short launch rod is not enough. Anyone with limited storage should look at a shorter kit before falling for the photos.
