Perhaps my only complaint is that AeroTech kits are a bit too easy to put together. Extremely clear instructions and diagrams. The fin cuts virtually fall out of the body tube with nominal pressure. The parachute and drag line is the best I've ever seen. When you purchase this kit, you won't need anything except motors. The kit comes with motor mount adapters, allowing you to use E-9 through G-80 single-use or RMS motors. Wow!
An exclusive feature is AeroTech's Ejection Baffle system. AeroTech was the pioneer in providing a system that cools the ejection charge, eliminating the need for wadding. Ejection gases go through a heat exchanger then through a defuser, which spreads out the charge within the front of the body tube. It's the system serious rocketeers try to mimic. Their system also acts as the anchor point for the shock cord.
Ever wonder what they use for the heat exchanger material? Believe it or not, it a Chore Boyİ knitted metal scouring pad ($1.57 at Walmart). I used the same concept in my TaylorMailer-1 Cluster. Worked great.
Expensive? The Mustang retails for about $60 but Hobby Lobby regularly has rockets for half-price -- $30 is quite a deal.
