Omega
I have owned the original Estes Omega. This kit is much better. The through the wall fin mounting makes fin alignment easier. I also like the fact that it can be flown on E engines as well. I believe it should be rated skill level 4 because one must have prior experience flying single stage "E" and two stage regular to have any chance of successfully flying and recovering a rocket with staged "E" engines.
