Perfection That Stands the Test of Time
Once I was 7 years old ... (Apologies to Lukas Graham.) That was a long, long time ago. And I built Big Bertha, and I launched her a few times. Until one time, she landed high in a tree. But I wasn't too sad. I built another one. (And also I duct taped rocket engines to my cousin's Barbie dolls when my rockets were stuck in trees or on rooftops. Sorry, cuz, if you're out there.) And so kicked off a hobby that I continued for several years of my childhood, until such time as I discovered the opposite sex and various other pastimes that took me away from my rocket fun. But I digress. Fast forward to 2018. I have a lot of fond memories of rocket building, and I've never forgotten that first Big Bertha. My son is now of the right age to play with fun flying objects. I came to Amazon, placed my order, and I am beyond pleased to report that, effectively, nothing has changed in all of this time! Big Bertha is exactly as I remember her--and my son and I had a great time putting her together, walking her over to the local park, and breaking out the Porta-Pad II (also the same model I used to have). 3...2...1 and the couple of hours we spent building and painting was well worth it when I saw the look in his eyes. This is the perfect starter rocket. Forget those pre-painted ones with plastic fins that snap into place. That's not what the rocket hobby is all about. You want to feel like you've actually built something. You want to sand some balsa, and glue some stuff together. You want to learn a few lessons about precision when it comes to lining up the fins, and some more lessons about patience while waiting for that glue to dry. You want to paint your rocket yourself so that when it's high above your head you can smile and know that this is something YOU created. Trust me on this. I've gotten a little bit preachy and gone off on all kinds of tangents. But that stands to illustrate exactly the kind of value this rocket brought to my life. $20 worth of character building and indelible memories? That's money very well spent. Do I recommend that you purchase Big Bertha? I recommend that you don't wait another moment. This is a classic in my mind and it will be in yours too. Enjoy. And word to the wise: Barbie dolls are totally un-aerodynamic and don't fly nearly as well as this thing.

Large stable flyer, a classic.
A classic from the past, Big Bertha is easy to build and only mildly difficult to paint. It flies great and is super easy to prepare to launch. Build: Easy. Typical A/B/C engine mount. Four balsa fins. One launch lug. Paint: Two of the fins are painted different from the body. Requires taping or painting separately then attaching. Only 3 decals. Flight: Relative huge cargo space in the tall large rocket body makes packing ample recovery wadding, parachute and shock cord super easy. Flight is stable and the size of the rocket makes tracking it simple. The packaging says, 'slow realistic takeoff' although it's not really that slow, don't expect a space shuttle style smoky grinding liftoff..no it's still pretty zippy off the pad. For slower lift off look for the Super Big Bertha, if it's still made. This one is another classic that deserves to be a part of a fleet of rockets.

Works great and was such fun to launch.
I purchased this rocket kit for my grandson's 10th birthday. It was a hit! He put it together with some adult supervision. The first launch was so exciting and the rocket was impressive. My grandson was able to get it set up on the launch pad for his first launches by himself and exicuted the launch without any problems. It flew very high so I advise that you have a large field to launch your rocket as any wind will cause it to drift quite a ways when it is floating down. Other boys playing in the field came running when they saw it launch. Such excitement! The only issue was that the parachute tore from two of it's strings after the second launch. All in all it worked great and gave this grandma high credit as giving the best gift ever. :)
