Review: Misleading - The product info is misleading. You need a few other very important pieces to be able to to fly the rocket. In fact the items included here are the least important out of all the ones needed. You cant DIY the other items but you can DIY the rocket.
Review: Missing parts - This came without engine , can I have more clarity in this?

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you use a big sized c6-7**
A: No.  This rocket runs on mini engines like A10-3T.  Regular A, B, C type engines are too large in diameter to fit.

**Q: What would be the sharpest looking rocket ! A big one!**
A: That's a subjective question but for me, this rocket is on the small size. I have one and I have had multiple parachutes burned since it's so small. Bigger rockets are more impressive and I think they are easier to fly and find. For the larger size, make sure the diameter is larger, not just the height. The larger the diameter the easier it is to load the recovery wadding and parachute and have them deploy properly.

**Q: Which launch pad do I use?**
A: The Estes - 2222 Launch Pad and Porta-Pad Controller II, Red is what I use. There is a Estes Mini Engine Launch System that should work, but I haven't tried it. I would personally go for the first option as it gives you the ability to launch more types of rockets, but if the mini engine one fits your needs it should work fine.

**Q: What can I do to make sure Biden doesn't shoot it down?**
A: There are model rockets that go so high that you need to get FAA clearance to fly them. This isn't one of them. It's a low power rocket that doesn't go high enough to cause problems.

However, if you put it in a high altitude balloon over the US, it's probably going to get shot down.
