LOC-I Hi-Tech

Parts quality and fitment are great. Instructions are generic and not helpful for newer builders, something I would like to see improved for most LOC kits. I flew it twice on B6-4's and boost and coast performance was great, nice and straight. However, on the second flight the shock cord broke at the motor mount. I think the shock cord length is too short and it can't handle the weight of the payload section. I'm going increase the length of the shock cord and maybe add a section of stretchable material. Fun rocket and it looks fantastic, but the instructions are poor and the included shock cord is inadequate.

The components of this kit are great. When assembled it's pretty apparent that it makes for a robust "model" rocket. If you assemble the motor mount to where the laminated centering rings sandwich the tabs of the fins, you've got a sturdy flier. Just for fun, you could fly a Jolly Logic altimeter 2 in the payload attached to the nosecone just to get your feet wet. We've flown ours with the Altimeter 2 and a C6-5. Super straight flight to 798 feet. I always loved the full size version of this rocket, and this small sized version is fantastic. We used CA to tack the fins on, and carpenter's glue for everything else. This is definitely one of our favorites

This was a great 1" loc kit... until it got lost in the tallgrass. Yes the nosecone is yellow. You paint it.

Quality kit!

I have been doing so many other mid-power rockets I wanted to try something else. I got this kit and just like all Loc Rockets top notch. I was impressed with the quality and simple straight forward assembly. I loved the design so I bout its big brother.
