Brief:
This big colorful rocket ejects a skydiver with parachute at apogee! A separate parachute recovers t' rocket booster while t' nose cone tumbles t' earth by streamer. A somewhat good starter set by Estes. Comes with a controller, ya bilge rat, launch pad, ya bilge rat, arrr, rocket, me hearties, and C6-5 engines.

Construction:
T' rocket had a payload section that was pathetic. Well, blow me down! It came with a army man on a parachute t' put inside. Avast, me proud beauty! T' shock cord was surprisingly good compared t' other Estes kits. Ahoy! It was a starter kit so their wasn't much assembly.

Some o' t' good things about this kit is that it comes with everythin' you need, ya bilge rat, like engines, launch pad, arrr, me bucko, and a launch controller. Begad! A little G.I. Ahoy! Joe comes with t' kit for a tiny payload section. Ahoy! Arrr! He/she comes down on a separate parachute. It be amazin' t' find a decent shock cord for t' rocket. Well, blow me down! Begad! A few bad things were that t' rockets fins are weak. Avast, me proud beauty! You have t' apply plastic cement t' make them stronger. Avast! Avast! On me first launch two fins snapped, so let that be a lesson for you.

Finishing:
Their wasn't much t' assemble on this kit except for t' parachute for t' rocket and t' parachute for t' little army guy. Well, blow me down! Blimey! Begad! Blimey! It is obviously nay a challengin' kit, its a starter kit so comes in average condition.

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
As most rockets, it required wadding. For me first 3 flights I used t' B6-4 engines t' kit came with. Avast, me proud beauty! T' first flight be straight up with a good ejection. Blimey! Avast! Then came t' second launch, me hearties, arrr, straight up then at apogee it came down mighty hard snappin' two fins. Avast, me proud beauty! Then third launch took off unstable due t' t' bad fin stability.

Recovery:
I honestly despise parachutes most o' time due t' t' drift they cause. T' Free Fall sticks t' its name. Begad! Begad! T' parachute doesn't do much for it so it "free falls" back down t' ground. Aye aye! T' fins will snap on landin' unless you make them stronger.

Flight Rating: 2 out o' 5

Summary:
T' me t' rocket stinks, me hearties, but t' equipment is good. Ahoy! T' rocket has weak fins that you really have t' make more solid. Arrr! Aye aye! T' whole rocket stinks but good for t' starter t' have all o' t' equipment.

Overall Rating: 3 out o' 5
