Part of the Pro Series II line and marked 18+, the Star Orbiter is a 45 inch airframe on a 1.64 inch tube with a preassembled 18 inch parachute and a screw on motor retainer, so no masking tape holding the engine in. On an E16-6 or an F15-8 with the adapter it is projected to about 1,800 feet, and the payload section leaves room for an altimeter or a small tracker.
Build quality expectations are higher than on a beginner kit: through the wall fin tabs, epoxy or thick glue, careful filling before paint. Motors in this class cost several dollars apiece and are not stocked in every hobby shop, and a rocket going a third of a mile up needs a proper field and clear weather. For a builder graduating from C engines it is a sensible next step.
