Baby Bertha for small launching areas
Baby Berta is great for launching in a reduced flight area like a football field if you use "A" engines.It's relatively easy to assemble (and repair if needed), and it is large enough and slow enough to enjoythe rocket flight visually. Have fun :-)

Nice kit.
Haven't built this one yet, but have built the bigger version(s). Looks pretty similar. I might upgrade the fins and motor mount to take bigger motors to see how hard it can be pushed.

Baby Bertha is a very good model rocket to learn on...
The 8 year old princess took 3 nights (not consecutively) to complete this rocket.This is a very good, solid, foundation rocket project, teaching cutting out of the balsa fins, sanding, gluing, painting etc.She got a blue ribbon at the fair with it as her first "hand built" rocket.I've built ~20 rockets (many years ago) and this is one of the best overall kits...I really wanted to add white pin stripes, and more detail, but was over ruled by the chicks in the house...Big fun... A good kit!

Mixed feelings
Was a little difficult to put together. The tube was very thin and weak, especially for the money. Biggest problem was Amazon sent it in a bubble envelope and all the Balsa pieces punched out. One of the fin tips was broke off and I sanded the other ones to match it. Actual flight was pretty impressive

Nice size. Fun to build and shoot.
We started with some small rockets and quickly found they are VERY hard to see. This is a nice size. Not too big. Big enough. And you get to 100% paint the whole thing. This rocket always makes the travel team (kids pick) when we head to the field.

Great looking rocket. Easy to build
My son built this as a physics class project. Directions were fairly clear and the rocket turned out looking great. First test flight later this week. Let's hope there are no issues Houston.

I built so many of these when i was a kid
It was fun to build with my kid. This is probably the most viewer-friendly rocket (of this type and size). I always loved the Zinger and those super fast small ones (one-time-use cause you never get them back with a big C) but you don't even see it leave the launch pad. you hear all this noise and then its gone. This one is more like a cruise ship leaving port. You see some activity, you see the water churning a bit and then it slowly starts crawling along. I think for kids and non 'rocket' people, thats better. If you are like some 12 year old kid and you are trying to impress some girlies in your class, make sure you fly this one. you should pimp it out with like hello kitty and you will be the man. trust me i know.
