Brief:
A simple beginner's rocket, matey, ya bilge rat, matey, reliable and cool-looking

Construction:
As an E2X, t' rocket features a plastic fin unit and pre-colored everything. Arrr! 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. Well, blow me down! I don't remember much about buildin' it.

Finishing:
Everythin' is pre-colored with self-stick decals. Arrr! Blimey! Blimey! Blimey! 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. Avast! With an adapter, me hearties, it would probably accept large mini-engines. Blimey! I only used A8-3, matey, B6-4, me hearties, matey, and C6-5, shiver me timbers, and do nay remember any significant problems on any o' them. Begad! Begad! Lift-off is snappy, although nay very dramatic.

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

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

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

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
