Brief:
This is Estes' first rocket. It has been out o' production for a number o' years. Avast! Avast, me proud beauty! I'd say it's almost impossible t' find a complete kit. This was a clone that I made out o' spare parts and wood from one o' me dad's busted model airplane.

Construction:
This kit was made from spare parts. Avast! I got t' plans from Jimz and used parts from an old Mini Bertha. T' rocket has tumble recovery, ya bilge rat, so no parachute or streamer. Ahoy! Blimey! There are 3 fins which need t' be cut. Begad! Blimey! T' cone is glued on. You then punch out 2 small vent holes on t' top sides.

Instructions were just lookin' at a picture from Jimz. Arrr! My NC be too tall (bein' from a Mini Bertha) so I did some sandin' down. Avast! Avast, me proud beauty! I used hot glue on attachin' t' fins, me hearties, which works good. Blimey! It is a easy build. Aye aye! I think it be a skill 1 rocket. Well, me bucko, blow me down! No special tools really needed.

Finishing:
There were 2 decals. Avast, me proud beauty! Aye aye! But I just made ovals on t' side, shiver me timbers, matey, since I had no decals. Ahoy! Avast! My paint skills were pretty lame when I built this. Avast, me proud beauty! Aye aye! I went with t' look as I saw in a Ninfinger Catalog photo. Arrr! I used a Sharpie t' paint t' black fin.

Construction Rating: 3 out o' 5

Flight:
I haven't flown it yet. It needs no wadding, as with all tumble recovery rockets. Begad! I will use a 1/2A6-2 for first flight.

Recovery:
Like I said, I haven't flown it yet, but from what I've seen from me Quark, me hearties, shiver me timbers, me hearties, it should come down fast. Begad! Blimey! Probably go up fast and high.

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
This kit is good. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! Fairly easy t' clone and has a pretty slick paint job. Ahoy! I have yet t' fly it, me bucko, but it is a nice rocket for t' starter. Aye aye! Well, blow me down! Blimey! You'll have t' clone it if you want one.

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
