Photon

Photon is a great entry into mid power rockets for those with an eye to looking cool while doing so. I have two and I put one up almost every club launch. You get good rip on E20s with these little guys if you don’t go crazy with the electronics add on’s. I get best results with just a tracker but skipping the chute release and using a smaller or choked up chute if windy. I foresee more Photons in the arsenal down the road.

This is one of only two 24mm engine mount kits currently offered from LOC/Precision, the Blaster being the other. The construction is straight forward and very strong. My only advice is to be careful when you insert the completed engine mount so that the shock cord mount screw eye doesn't interfere with upper fin installation (I found this out the hard way - instructions don't mention this). For two modifications, I replaced the upper Kevlar shock cord with an elastic one (personal preference), and installed an engine block to use black powder engines (cheaper). I love the vinyl pressure sensitive decal - it goes on easily and looks awesome. A 15" nylon parachute and parachute protector are included, which is nice. Overall, a great kit to try low to mid-power C, D, or E engines with.

Great kit. Sturdy and fun for me to build. Good motor options

This was the first Loc kit I've built. It was easy to build. Flew it four times and it flew smooth one I found the perfect motor to fly it with which was a Q-jet E26-7w it also flew well on D22-7. Love Loc kits and definitely will buy more.
