"My son's first balsa finned rocket. Building was a snap and the proportions of the rocket make it look sporty. It flies as good as it looks. Like an arrow off the pad with anything from an A-8 to C-6. Everyone loves the mylar streamers. This is a rocket you will fly many times. Ours has made at least a dozen flights with minimal damage. Unfortunately Estes has discontinued production of this kit so grab them when you see them." (T.J.C.)

"I really like this rocket. I think it makes good use of all motors from an A-83 to the C6-7. It gives a great flight on the A8-3 and goes completely out of sight on a C6-7. A while ago my brother friend and I drag raced our Firestreaks on C6-7s and witnessed an amazing show. I was also well impressed with the durability as well as the looks. I recently finished building a scratch Firestreak that I made out of BT-80 body tube which is about 30 inches tall and is awesome looking with the chrome paint I finished it with. I would also like to inform you that if you have a black-light, the decals are awesome when exposed to it." (D.C.)

"This rocket gets an A+ for durability. I found this out one evening when I launched it on its third flight with a B6-4 motor. It went straight up to about 600 feet but the moderate wind made it drift the width of the football field that I launched it from and it landed hard on the concrete track surrounding the field. The only damage was a fin that popped out of the body tube slot with the mounting tab still attached and some scraped paint (but who cares). Some white glue and a little paint fixed the damage in minutes. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a great flying model." (D.B.Jr.)

"I built this beauty but instead of painting it purple, I used a glossy red. This rocket performs very well. It went a lot higher than I thought it would and it has a beautiful recovery." (T.W.)

"The orange and yellow flame decals over deep purple body look mighty fine! This one flies very well and the streamers keep drifting down to a minimum. Rolling and re-packing the two streamers on a windy day is quite a challenge though... This is a nice, easy kit and a solid flier." (D.M.)

"My first Firestreak was the stock design. I built another using a D motor mount for D-12s and fly it with an Estes sounding locator. This thing really checks out! The streamers are great, especially with a low sun angle, but they tend to shred up quickly." (S.J.)
