Overall good kit, but needs some modifications. Estes Leviathan: estesrockets.c... Estes Big Daddy: estesrockets.c... Estes Big Daddy upgrade kit: www.launchlabr...
Dig it! I never really looked at it as one that I would be interested in b/c of the fins, but seeing it has plywood, I may give it a go. Thank you for the rundown!
Great review! I have one of those Estes reissues as well as a Big Daddy/Launch Lab Rocketry conversion kit. Looking forward to your build and flights on your new Leviathan.
I took Launch Lab's 38mm upgrade, a stock Big Daddy, length of 3" tube, glassed the airframe and fins, put in a kevlar harness, and rail buttons. It's a lot of fun.

A great kit. I have two built and parts for a third. Tubes, couplers, motor tubes and NC from Estes. Fins from Launch Lab.

that green ring is NOT a motor block....it is a spacer that goes in front of the forward centering ring.
That's big I uses two of those big daddy cones to make a V2 rocket
