Good Introduction to Multi-stage Rockets
I built one for my grandsons. It is slow enough that they can really watch the takeoff and staging occur. Some lighter, and more streamlined, models are so fast that the takeoff is just a blur. You can really watch things happen with this model!

All the parts are there. Instructions are clear. Package was packed well, and no damage was noted.
Was as advertised, and went together well.

Great extension of a grand old product.
I had a Big Bertha as a kid. Built another as an adult. Added Boosted Bertha recently & it was a thriller!

Fun to build!
My son and I built this rocket. Painted it orange. And launched it several times. Worked really well!

Easy to fly 2 stage rocket
The media could not be loaded. Great flying 2 stage 🚀Using a combination of C6-0 and C6-5 engines this rocket achieved high altitudes. Finding the booster stage took a while on the desert floor.

No Launch Pad included
Great rocket, but the main picture shows a rocket AND a launch pad, but I was only sent the rocket, no launch pad. I read through the description again and at the very, very bottom it states that a launch pad is required to use this product. But no where did I see "no launch pad included" even though the main picture shows a rocket and a launch pad. This picture looks very much like other kits that include a launch pad, so it is very deceptive.I rated 1 Star, because of the false advertising by the seller. Looks like I'm not the only one. Serves me right for not checking the Reviews. Naughty seller: Hobby Etc is on my S list now, haha

Under powered
The media could not be loaded. Warning: using the recommended engines the booster is somewhat underpowered, even with B and C engines, and so it has a tendency to veer off to the side, per the video. I recommend taking care to build this as light as possible and using a long (4 ft) launch rod (or even better, using larger launch lugs and a 6 foot 3/16" launch rod.You can always just launch the sustainer (top stage) and it flies well.I've also had success using CHAD (Cheap and Dirty staging) by taping a larger, 24 mm, engine under the booster to give it extra kick. But that's not for beginners.In short, I don't recommend this as a beginner's kit, but if you know what you're doing, you can have fun with it.

Birthday Surprise for Son and Grandson!
My son used to build rockets when he was a kid and I was out to sea, when I'd get back we go out and launch them, I hope he shares that with my Grandson!
