Brief
This is an Estes single stage rocket t' be flown on D size engines. Avast, me proud beauty!

Construction
T' kit came in a hangin' box display and was packaged very well. Aye aye! All t' parts were intact. I think it was manufactured before they had skill levels on the box. Aye aye! But I would say probably a skill level 2. Begad! Blimey! T' tube couplers were nay quite long enough t' keep t' body tubes straight. Well, blow me down! Begad! Blimey! As long as you keep an eye on them while gluin' thar be no problem.

Finishing
T' kit was painted with standard krylon paint. Well, blow me down! And t' decals went on very nicely. Avast! All in all it is a very good lookin' rocket. Aye aye!

Flight
T' first flight be on a D12-7 and t' delay was t' long. Ya scallywag! Arrr! Blimey! It opened on t' way down, arrr, and thar was no damage. T' second flight was on an E30-4 and it flies great. Opened at apogee perfectly. I have had at least 20 flights without a single problem.

I am plannin' on tryin' F24-7 and F39-10 Aerotech reloads. Arrr!

Recovery
I did nay use t' supplied shock cord. Arrr! I used 1/8" elastic cord about 5' long epoxied a loop t' t' inside o' t' tube. Arrr! I also made me own rip stop nylon chute. Well, blow me down! Arrr! 24" with a 2" spill hole. Ahoy! Begad! It floats down really nice. Begad! I have never had any damage on this rocket.

Summary
Overall I would say that this is a great kit. Ya scallywag! If you can find it, shiver me timbers, shiver me timbers, it is well worth building. Ya scallywag! It was kind o' on t' pricy side but for t' number o' flights I have had it is very reasonable. T' only thin' I would change is t' have the body couplers a little longer. Avast, me proud beauty! Ahoy!

Overall Rating: 4 ½ out o' 5
