I got a LOC patriot with a damaged tube but I emailed them to see if I could buy a replacement tube and I did. But today when I opened the package they sent a entire kit with a note that said happy new years. And I think that there kits are great and are made with high quality parts.
I got this kit to do a replica livery for the patriot. Great kit, went together will. With the 29mm mount, you WILL absolutely need nose weight (2 oz or so) for bigger F and G motors. The kit flies great on F12 reloads though if can still source some from Aerotech. Nice sooty and slow flights.
Rocket is epic
Used this for my school project where me and my partner modiifed this thing by adding wings that pop out and canards tht can be controlled and turn this into a glider so it can land safely
This is a straight forward build. The plywood fins sanded well. All parts required final fitting, which is to be expected. All the components were well built and should withstand many flights. The nose cone required a lot of work to obtain a smooth surface. Overall a great kit that is fun to build. Looking forward to the first launch!
