Have you ever wondered what a it would look like if you cross a rocket with a plane? Well now its time to take your rocketeering hobby to the next level and assemble my rocket, it has taken a lot of hard work to design and i hope you appreciate all of the efforts i have gone to… It is made to fly with any 18mm or 0.7in rocket motor from Estes sutch as a B-64… Enjoy!
