Brief:
A simple beginner's rocket, shiver me timbers, reliable and cool-looking

Construction:
As an E2X, ya bilge rat, t' rocket features a plastic fin unit and pre-colored everything. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! It features a plastic nose cone and 12-inch parachute.  
This was me second rocket; I think it is at least 6 years old if nay more. I don't remember much about buildin' it.

Finishing:
Everythin' is pre-colored with self-stick decals. Ahoy! Aye aye! If they were applied straight (I didn't quite manage t' do it) t' stylin' is impressive.

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
T' rocket has an impressive selection o' recommended motors -- everythin' from 1/2A6-2 t' C6-7. Well, blow me down! With an adapter, it would probably accept large mini-engines. I only used A8-3, ya bilge rat, arrr, B6-4, arrr, and C6-5, and do nay remember any significant problems on any o' them. Well, blow me down! Lift-off is snappy, ya bilge rat, although nay very dramatic.

Recovery:
T' shock cord went in with t' tri-fold paper technique. T' paper mount held until, at a ripe old age, t' shock cord broke just above it. T' parachute selected, ya bilge rat, that very flight, me bucko, t' remain packed after ejection, and I recovered everything. Recovery speed was just about right, matey, me hearties, although I would have preferred faster t' slower.

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
Pros: easy t' build, matey, shiver me timbers, great looking, and durable Cons: When it died, I couldn't replace it.

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
