    4 Stars
    Great! We have lift off! Launch controller malfunction but easily fixed.
    We have lift off! Three successful launches the first time out! Easy to assemble, set-up, and launch. You need to buy A-83 engines and wadding separately. Not a big deal. The launch controller might malfunction. This is a simple fix. SOLUTION: The batteries did not fit tightly in controller which results in a bad connection, the light on the launcher not illuminating, and no launch. I solved this by putting a small piece of folded tin foil between the battery and battery plate. See the photo. It worked like a charm.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Complete Start Kit - just add engines and wadding
    Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2012
    Hadn't fired a model rocket in over 30 years, so this looked like a good place to start over. This kit is an amazing value, since it includes a launch pad, a launch ignition system, and two ready-to-fly rockets. All you have to do is buy some wadding and rocket motors, and you are on your way.

    We took these two rockets to the park and launched six times without any mishap. The launcher and launch system worked great, and the rockets were recovered safely each time. We only tried A and B engines, but plan to try some Cs next time.

    Summary:

    1. No assembly required for the rockets-- just attach the recovery 'chute and insert a rocket engine.

    2. Launch pad was easy to assemble (5 minutes)

    3. The launch ignition system worked flawlessly

    4. All instructions were easy to read and follow

    5. Lots of fun!

    Advice: start with the A8-3 engines. The rocket will only ascend about 400 feet, and will be easy to see and recover. We then tried B4-4 engines, and the rocket seemed to travel twice as high.
