Park Flyer Series - 1.6" IRIS

A great built kit

I really enjoyed this build. It was my first Mid power build. I skipped mid all together and have built HPR. I wanted this kit so I could fly in local parks. I built 2, with and without retention. Take that extra step & add retention (imho friction fit isn’t precise.) Overall the instructions were fine. I wish it included a painting schematic. The materials are top notch!

Just finished building this great kit… Lots of thought and work went into the kit, and the components in it. If you are new to heavier built mid-power rockets; then the instruction are a little limited. BUT it is a straight forward build. If you put some time into planning, research, and prep work for into how “you ” want to build it; then it is very easy to adapt and a good build. I added the 29mm LOC motor retainer. (Which makes you have to move the location of centering rings on the motor mount tube.) I also built the complete Motor tube / Fin assembly, then installed it into the main tube. (Required careful layout, slitting the main tube from the slots to the end, and CAREFULLY sliding it into place.) I also added Rail Buttons. After completion I weighed and measured C.G. for each sub assembly and updated the SIM files. The SIM Data, and measured values, align very well.
