Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I love Apogee--they're a great little company. I bought the Darkbird because I love challenging build rockets, and I loved the SR-71 type look and that it was a boost glider.
Directions were great, and the rocket went together with no problem, although it does take some patience and effort. It is skill level 4 for a reason.
I've only launched it once, and it worked just as it should, but I haven't got the glide right yet--boost gliders usually take some adjustment.
Some better instructions for properly balancing the rocket for a good glide would have helped. I'll get it right eventually--looking forward to many more launches of this little bird.

The "SR-72 Darkbird" is a model rocket that may look like an airplane, but trust us; it's all rocket power!The stealthy SR-72 aircraft blasts off on rocket power, taking you along on its super-secret mission. You'll be pleased by its awesome liftoff. It is both visually spectacular, and an auditory blast. This is no woosh-pop rocket. After climbing straight-up to fantastic heights on the roar of rocket power, the SR-72 transitions to its primary mission as a high speed aircraft. And when its mission is completed, it glides gracefully back to the ground; ready to take on its next top secret mission. You'll swear when watching it, that it looks like a real airplane screaming over the launch field. Because of the unique design of the airplane, it can be prepped and launched again in seconds! The kit contains a durable injection molded plastic nose cone, precision die-cut balsa wings, vacuum form inlet cones, and a unique paper canopy on the top of the fuselage. It also includes special templates that allow the model to be assembled quickly and easily. Recommended Rocket Engines: Estes 1/2A3-2T, A3-4T, or A10-3T Requires a rocket launch pad and ignition controller, plus finishing supplies like glue and paint.
