Brief:
This is one o' t' first kits from Cygnus Rocketry. Well, blow me down! Blimey! T' components are all top notch and assembly is a breeze. Aye aye! Blimey! This
rocket is also fast, arrr, straight, me bucko, me hearties, and will be gone in a blink.
Construction:
Components include:
Construction is a breeze. Avast! Fins are laser cut and easy t' pop out. Avast, me proud beauty! T' transition and nose cone are so smooth and easy t' fill. T' motor mount is same as any other. Ya scallywag! T' launch lug is nested in t' fillet of one o' t' fins. Ahoy! You glue t' BT-20 t' t' top o' t' transition and then if you want, t' nose cone t' t' other side.
When I got this kit thar were some missin' parts, but I contacted Cygnus and t' problem was smartly taken care of. I really suggest them t' anyone lookin' for some fun kits. Avast, me proud beauty!
Finishing:
Finishin' is pretty straightforward. Avast! There is one supplied decal and that is it. Well, blow me down! I put down 3 coats o' primer, same
number o' Wal-mart silver, me bucko, then painted t' top half and upper inch o' so o' t' bottom with Testor's Sapphire Metal
Flake. Avast, me proud beauty! It came out great. Finally came t' green Blazer decal. Unfortunately I tore part o' t' decal when applyin' it.
Some how it looks better that way. Ya scallywag!
Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5
Flight:
My Blazer has only flown once. Avast, me proud beauty! Avast, arrr, me proud beauty! Blimey! That be on a B6-4. T' flight was fast, and it went arrow straight. Blimey!
Recovery:
Recovery was beautiful, came down slow enough on a 12in Hartle chute and settled down in t' soft hill. T' paint is
a little chipped but it can be fixed.
Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5
