U.S.S. ODYSSEY by Rokitflite
#RFM-1000
The Odyssey rocket was made by a member of the Rocketry Forum.com
I received kit #4 of 50 autographed by the creator!
An enjoyable kit that's an easy skill level 3 (the epoxy might be the hardest thing?)
Not too hard, but lots of detail that kept me and my imagination busy for quite some time!
Finally decided to build it 11/13/2005.

Kit #4!

I got too excited and glued the BT-80 main ring on too early! DOH!
