On an I212 Smokey Sam
This rocket can be built in as little as a couple evenings with normal hobby tools and supplies. Flights are highly visible and very dramatic.  Descent is always slow and safe using extremely reliable aerobrake recovery.  There are no parachutes to burn up, tangle, shred or get stuck, no shock cords to snap, no electronics to fail or batteries to shake loose or run down.  Your rocket will never get lost or stuck in power lines and trees.   Reloads, single use, experimental and hybrid motors in a wide range of impulse can be used.  This kits comes with both  38mm and a 54 mm motor mounts.  The motor mounts can be changed in the field in seconds.
