07/09 - "If you can still find one of these kits around, snag it! I built mine way back in 1992 under the guidance of HPR guru Ed Miller, so mine is beefed up a bit. I "confirmed" [the old Tripoli term] on a Vulcan H-something that spring, and the beast is still flying today. I think she's got about 12-15 flights on it. If it ever needs to be retired, I will clone it--thats how much I respect it's tough design." (G.B.)

GUEST's OPINION:
08/02 - "Product review is accurate. I've owned several Falcons and enjoyed every one. My first accumulated about 15 flights on Aerotech 54mm 852 N motors, mostly rides on the awesome J-180 but also J-275s and J-460s. For 54mm motors I recommend adding about 8 oz of lead in the nose, an easy job with some fishing weights and five minute epoxy. I did take the precaution of making a much longer shock cord out of .75" elastic webbing, and used a spill hole in the chute to reduce opening shock and bring it down quicker. On the East coast a recovery buzzer is a must on J flights with this bird. Thoy used to include all the requisite adaptors for 38mm and 29mm motors, which is a nice touch. wish I still had one."

GUEST's OPINION:
05/02 - "I previously wrote in anticipation of flying my Falcon. Finally, after many, many delays, mostly due to wet weather and the aftermath of the September 11 tragedy, I had the chance to fly it, and it perfomed beautifully! Going up on an Aerotech RMS H128W short (6 second) delay with nearly zero spin and no tail waggle,it had a perfect boost! The only snafu was the ejection delay time, which was more like 9 seconds rather than 6. After hitting apogee, those extra 3 seconds seemed like an eternity, but the kit was strong enough to withstand a near vertical chute ejection without zippering. Amazing! Thank you, Thoy! Think I'll fly PRO-38 the next time! After the flight, I received numerous compliments on the kit (finished in a deep red, white and blue)and how nicely it flew. Judging from other people's comments and reactions, I'll be expecting to see a few more Falcons at the launch head within the next couple of months. It's a beautifully balanced,well made kit which I would recommend to anyone! As a tech note, I ran CP numbers on Rocksim. The CP is approximately 13.6" from the tail end. With a fully loaded H128, there's no need to add nose weight. I may use this rocket for my level 2, in which case I'll probably add some weight to the payload area (as well as a drogue, an altimiter,... you know the drill!) I'll keep you posted. 'Till later, fly 'em high and safe!" (M.J.S.)

GUEST's OPINION:
06/01 - "After reading your review, I'm very excited about my most recent purchase of the Thoy Falcon. Previous to this, bought built and flew a Thoy Cluros (small, 2 stage beginning rocket) which was great fun until an engine cato'ed on me and blew it into small bits. The only "Hi" power rocket I own is a Vaughn Brothers Javelin, which flies beautifully on a "G-80", but is only a 2.6 diameter kit and I'm hesitant to put it up on an "H" for my level 1 cert. I'll let you know how the kit goes for me when it's finished. 'till later, keep flying!" (M.J.S.)
