I saw this early this week on Amazon only 1 left for $22 and had to get it.

Opinions welcome.
Putting the ideas for Tazz (a Gyroc configuration) and the Mini A Heli (a Rotaroc configuration) together: once upon a time I made a 3-finned Gyroc-style rocket but with the spin tabs extended into full-fledged rotor blades that trailed behind the rocket during boost.

Nice build. My STEM kids were looking at the small scale of this (Estes) I think. I had all my kits put for them to look at while they built their Alpha IIIs. I Lille the larger scale here.Continued working on a Red Nova scratch build, with 3D-printed nose cone designed by @Jack Hydrazine, papered balsa fins, and Cricut-cut adhesive vinyl markings. Nearing completion. An enjoyable build.
Pics?I built a saucer with a 38mm motor mount and adapters down to 24.
